Evaluation of Sustainable Urban Design With a Focus on Spatial Organization and Climatic Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urban heat island (UHI) effect increases with the growth of cities and population. This situation triggers global climate change, and cities are negatively affected by this situation. In this study, five provinces (Antalya, Gaziantep, Bursa, Kayseri, and Erzurum) located in different climate zones in Turkey were selected as samples ...

Tailoring Model‐Based Systems Engineering for Sub‐100 g PlanarSats: A Power‐First View Stack

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses how to apply model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) to ultrasmall planar satellites under severe power and resource constraints. PlanarSats are sub‐100‐gram spacecraft built as single printed‐circuit boards where the same surface must host both electronics and solar cells, so power generation, geometry, and component ...

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Parametric Sensitivity of Hemispheric Albedo Symmetry Weakly Constrains Shortwave Cloud Radiative Feedbacks in the Community Atmosphere Model Version 6

Geophysical Research Letters
Earth's albedo is symmetric between the northern and southern hemispheres (NH and SH, respectively) because SH clouds compensate for higher NH clear‐sky albedo, a feature that climate models have difficulty capturing.

Statistical Denoising of Transient Rendering

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Transient rendering simulates light in motion, measuring the time of flight from the light source to the camera. However, the stochastic nature of Monte Carlo is aggravated in transient rendering, since samples are now spread along the temporal domain.

The sub-seasonal and interannual spatio-temporal variability of bare-ice albedo of Abramov Glacier, Kyrgyzstan

Journal of Glaciology
As snowlines retreat, the bare ice of Central Asian glaciers is increasingly exposed to short-wave radiation and high temperatures. The importance of bare-ice albedo for glacier melt rates is thus rising. Little is known about the variability of bare-ice

3D Character Reconstruction from Hand‐drawn Model Sheets

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Hand‐drawn model sheets are widely used in character design to define 3D shape and appearance through sparse multi‐view drawings. Reconstructing 3D characters from such sparse inputs has traditionally been challenging due to insufficient visual information.

PBR‐Inspired Controllable Diffusion for Image Generation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite recent advances in text‐to‐image generation, controlling geometric layout and PBR material properties in synthesized scenes remains challenging. We present a pipeline that first produces a G‐buffer (albedo, normals, depth, roughness, shading, and metallic) from a text prompt and then renders a final image through a PBR‐inspired branch ...

A Real‐Time Multi‐Scale Neural Representation for Complex Surface Reflectance

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent machine learning methods have significantly advanced the state of the art in the classic problem of representing surface appearance over angle, space, and scale. The models tend, however, to be relatively heavy compared to traditional fixed‐function representations, making real‐time application challenging.
