The Feasibility of Household Food Waste Reduction in Finland: Insights From Five Consumer Profiles
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We apply a household production framework to analyse how changes in cooking skills, waste‐abatement costs and wage rates influence the food waste behaviour of five consumer profiles in Finland. We find that achieving a given reduction in food waste through skill‐enhancing interventions induces larger behavioural adjustments than equivalent ...

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We utilize Chinese provincial data to explore how government policies affected grain production between 1952 and 2008. We adapt the Caselli‐Coleman framework to allow multiple inputs including fertilizer, land and capital as well as skilled and unskilled labour.

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Variable‐Rate Texture Compression: Real‐Time Rendering with JPEG
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Although variable‐rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real‐time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable‐rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the ...

High-Speed Architecture for Hybrid Arithmetic–Huffman Data Compression
TechnologiesThis paper proposes a hardware–software co-design for adaptive lossless compression based on Hybrid Arithmetic–Huffman Coding, a table-driven approximation of arithmetic coding that preserves near-optimal compression efficiency while eliminating the ...

NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

Trimming the Tree: Tailoring Adaptive Huffman Coding to Wireless Sensor Networks
, 2010 Nodes in wireless sensor networks are generally designed to operate on a limited energy budget, and must consciously use the available charge to allow for long lifetimes. As the radio transceiver is the predominant power consumer on current node platforms, the minimization of its activity periods and efficient use of the radio channel are major targets
