, 2010 We previously constructed a single molecular clock to date insect evolution that remains a cornerstone within entomological dating. The insect clock predicts that triatomine bugs, the vectors of South American trypanosomiasis, originated with the ...

SDFs from Unoriented Point Clouds using Neural Variational Heat Distances
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We propose a novel variational approach for computing neural Signed Distance Fields (SDF) from unoriented point clouds. We first compute a small time step of heat flow (middle) and then use its gradient directions to solve for a neural SDF (right). Abstract We propose a novel variational approach for computing neural Signed Distance Fields (SDF) from ...

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 ...

Adaptive Optical Layers: Efficient Tall Cell Grids for Liquid Simulation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Tall cell grids have been proposed as an efficient approach to accelerate large‐scale liquid simulation. In this framework, regions near the liquid surface are discretized with regular grids, while regions farther away are represented by elongated rectangular cells.

Major risk factors for leprosy in a non-endemic area of the United States: A case series
IDCases, 2019 Approximately 200 cases of leprosy are reported each year in the United States, and about 175 of the cases are diagnosed for the first time. Florida contributes a large number of reported cases each year and is showing an increasing incidence.

Beholding a ‘Brave New World’: Sir Walter Raleigh’s The Discovery of Guiana and William Shakespeare’s The Tempest [PDF]
, 2015 During the 15th and 16th centuries, the idea of the world was broadened on an unprecendented scale. The Portuguese and the Spaniards dominated a first stage in the maritime expansion and even divided the planet into two halves. Those times were primarily

Interpolated Adaptive Linear Reduced Order Modeling for Deformation Dynamics
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Linear reduced‐order modeling (ROM) is widely used for efficient simulation of deformation dynamics, but its accuracy is often limited by the fixed linearization of the reduced mapping. We propose a new adaptive strategy for linear ROM that allows the reduced mapping to vary dynamically in response to the evolving deformation state ...

Contouring Signed Distance Fields by Approximating Gradients
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Signed distance fields are often represented by discrete samples (e.g., on a grid). Recovering the contour implicitly represented by the distance samples requires an approximation algorithm. Several recent approaches have shown that exploiting the information carried in each distance sample by explicitly constructing a surface point gives ...
