Volumetric Inverse Rendering via Neural Radiative Transfer

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Volumetric inverse rendering seeks to recover the optical properties of participating media from images. Existing approaches either rely on differentiable stochastic light transport simulation, which require substantial algorithmic effort, or use simplified models that fail to capture global illumination.

Rational determination of real‐life UV exposure across latitudes: An extended Diffey‐based model integrating behavioural factors

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This study models real‐life UVB and UVA exposure across latitudes and seasons using an extended Diffey framework with behavioural corrections. Findings reveal predictable dose patterns and support pragmatic SPF and UVA‐PF caps, offering a quantitative basis for realistic photoprotection and regulatory discussion.

Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

Spectral characterization of three wearable electronic ultraviolet radiation dosimeters

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation poses significant public health risks, including DNA damage and skin‐related pathologies. Wearable electronic UV dosimeters enable accurate studies and quantification of solar UV‐radiation exposure on an individual level. Due to variations in the spectral distribution of solar radiation, the spectral mismatch

Methods for substituting onsite ambient ultraviolet radiation measurements for personal exposure studies

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Three methods for substituting on‐site ambient ultraviolet radiation measurements for personal exposure measurements were investigated. Assuming spatial persistency of measurements from high‐grade instruments delivers lowest uncertainties up to distances of 82 km.

Reference wet grasslands to support conservation and restoration assessments in the Brazilian Savanna

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Grassy wetlands of the Cerrado provide key ecosystem services but remain largely overlooked and are rapidly disappearing, threatened by land use change and climate‐driven changes in hydrological cycles. As restoration initiatives are urgent, reference ecosystems and robust indicators are essential to guide conservation and ...

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.
