Hierarchical Differentiable Fluid Simulation
We introduce a two‐step algorithm that significantly reduces memory usage for solving control problems using differentiable fluid simulation techniques: our method first optimizes for bulk forces at reduced resolution, then refines local details over sub‐domains while maintaining differentiability. In trading runtime for memory, it enables optimization

SDFs from Unoriented Point Clouds using Neural Variational Heat Distances
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
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
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.

Importance of xenarthrans in the eco-epidemiology of
Background Several pathogens that cause important zoonotic diseases have been frequently associated with armadillos and other xenarthrans. This mammal group typically has evolved on the South American continent and many of its extant species are ...

Comparación de dos métodos para la adquisición de datos ecológicos sobre armadillos en las pampas argentinas: trabajo de campo vs entrevistas [PDF]
The objective of this work is to compare information collected on the ecology of three species of Pampean armadillos (Chaetophractus villosus, C. vellerosus and Dasypus hybridus), obtained through interviews with the information obtained previously in a ...

Interpolated Adaptive Linear Reduced Order Modeling for Deformation Dynamics
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
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 ...
