Fast Nodal Hessian Computation for Peridynamic Fracture Simulation
A fast, exact nodal Hessian computation for Non‐Ordinary State‐Based Peridynamics is introduced through analytical simplification and a warp‐centric GPU strategy. The method accelerates preconditioned solvers and Vertex Block Descent, enabling interactive fracture simulation with physical accuracy.

Compactly supported detail field for high quality neural implicit surfaces
Abstract Neural implicit surfaces are a powerful tool for encoding a surface as the zero level set of a neural function. Trained using gradient‐descent based optimizers, these methods however suffer from a low‐frequency bias that prevents them to fit fine details of the surface.

The southern three-banded armadillo Tolypeutes matacus (Desmarest, 1804) is distributed from eastern Bolivia, south-west Brazil, the Gran Chaco of Paraguay and Argentina, and lives in areas with dry vegetation.

Strictly Conservative Neural Distance Fields
Abstract We propose a first method to generate neural unsigned or signed distance fields (SDFs) that are guaranteed to be conservative with respect to a given 3D shape. This means the true distance is never overestimated and the zero‐level set is a bounding volume for the shape. The method makes use of neural network architectures that ensure Lipschitz

The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is a widely distributed species throughout North and South America, however its distribution has been restricted by latitude and altitude due to cold temperatures.

A practical algorithm for weighted k‐hulls
Abstract The convex hull is a central concept in computational geometry, geometry processing, and generally for summarizing sampled data. Its descriptive power suffers significantly in the presence of noise. The k‐hull, also known as the k‐depth contour in statistics, is the intersection of all half‐spaces that contain all but k data points, i.e. it is

Abstract We present a fast, robust method for continuous collision detection (CCD) directly between pairs of complex signed distance fields (SDFs). By casting CCD as an alternating spatio‐temporal optimization and driving a small set of smartly sampled surface points along SDF tangent spaces, our approach avoids dense sampling or triangle meshes ...

A new species of nematode parasite of the genus Delicata (Molineidae: Anoplostrongylinae) is described from the small intestine of a road-killed Greater Naked-tailed Armadillo Cabassous tatouay (Cingulata: Chlamyphoridae) on the BR-040 highway in Rio de ...

Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological
