A Texture‐Free Multi‐Scale Model for Surface‐Based Rendering of Knitted Fabrics
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Knitted fabrics present unique challenges for realistic rendering due to their complicated structure and scale‐dependent appearance. Existing methods typically rely on explicit yarn geometry, which is computationally complex, or texture‐based representations that require heavy storage and precomputed maps. In this paper, we introduce the first

LeafFit: Plant Assets Creation from 3D Gaussian Splatting
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We propose LeafFit, a pipeline that converts 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) of individual plants into editable, instanced mesh assets. While 3DGS faithfully captures complex foliage, its high memory footprint and lack of mesh topology make it incompatible with traditional game production workflows. We address this by leveraging the repetition of

Gender inequality in urban British Africa: Evidence from Anglican marriage registers
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract We examine the colonial origins and evolution of gender inequality in mission schooling and formal labour force participation across six cities in British colonial Africa, using marriage register data for some 30,000 Anglican brides and grooms well‐positioned to benefit from colonial educational and employment opportunities.

Biogeography of Atlantic Salmon in the Cape Breton Highlands, Canada
Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) populations have experienced significant declines in recent decades. In Canada, conservation efforts are divided into 16 designatable units (DUs) to address unique regional challenges among genetically distinct populations.

Dragonfly functional connectivity responses are dynamic relative to drought
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.During drought, dragonfly species richness decreases. Yet, dragonfly assemblages show a higher propensity for dispersal during drought. Dispersal pathways vary among the wet and dry periods, and relative to temporal changes in the landscape. While some dragonfly species can traverse plantation compartments, conservation corridors facilitate functional ...
