Basis Networks: Learning basis functions for free‐form triangulations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a framework for learning compactly supported basis functions that define tangent continuous surfaces based on coarse irregular triangle meshes. The basis functions are represented as MLPs. Smoothness of the basis functions is achieved by using the values of Loop basis functions as the parameterization of the surface.

Volume Quantization with Flexible Singularities for Hexahedral Meshing

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a novel algorithm for quantization and subsequent hexahedral mesh generation from seamless volumetric maps. Quantization is the process of choosing integers that represent the numbers of hexahedral elements to be placed in each region of the volume, and transforming the seamless map into an integer‐grid map matching that choice ...

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Almost Everywhere Convergence of Quasiradial Bochner-Riesz Means

Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1999
The author proves \((1,1)\)-boundedness of the maximal Bochner-Riesz operator \[ M^\delta_\rho f(x)=\sup\limits_{t>0}|R^\delta_{\rho,t} f(x)|, \] where \[ R^\delta_{\rho,t}=[(1-\rho/t)^\delta_+ \widehat{f}]^\vee (x) \] is a quasiradial Bochner-Riesz operator for \(\delta>(n-1)/2\), where \(\rho\) is a smooth distance function, which satisfies a weak ...

Between Steel and Skin: Corporeal Colonization of Women Workers and Gendered Organizations in Heavy Industry

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT “I felt as if my body was being occupied by the factory.” The words of one woman working in Turkey's heavy industry were repeated in many accounts, capturing how industrial infrastructures calibrated to male norms press directly into women's bodies.

Signaling Vision: Knowing When to Quit

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study a signaling game where agents signal their type by choosing when to quit pursuing an uncertain project. High types observe news about project quality and quit when bad news arrives. Low types who do not observe any news may mimic high types by quitting continuously over a phase of time.

The Random Power Function for Tests Based on Pivotal Quantities

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary In clinical trials planning, evaluation of the probability of success of an experiment is of central interest, for instance, in sample size determination. This assessment typically involves analyses of the power function of a test on a parameter of interest, such as a relevant treatment effect.

Artists in Nursery Schools: Enabling Free Play and Self‐Expression Through the Arts

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this research was to analyse the presence of artists in nursery schools by means of two proposals to promote free play and self‐expression for children between one and 3 years‐old and their families. Researchers compiled evidence from the perspective of three atelieristas and other participating adults, through interviews and ...

Evidence Gathering Under Competitive and Noncompetitive Rewards

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reward schemes may affect not only agents' effort but also their incentives to gather information in order to reduce the riskiness of the productive activity. In a laboratory experiment using a novel task, we find that the relationship between incentives and evidence gathering depends critically on the availability of information about peers ...

Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.
