The Distribution of Blue Straggler Stars in the Color–Magnitude Diagrams of Old Open Clusters
The Astronomical JournalWe examine the blue straggler star (BSS) populations of six old (≥4 Gyr) open clusters: M67, NGC 188, NGC 6791, Berkeley 32, Berkeley 39, and Trumpler 19.

A theory of political divergence and gradual institutional change
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Why do some societies succeed in breaking away from historical traditions while others remain trapped? This paper proposes a formal theory to investigate the interaction between short‐run and long‐run political dynamics, highlighting a co‐evolution of political institutions and social structures.

Discovery of a Barium Blue Straggler Star in M67 and “Sighting” of Its White Dwarf Companion
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe report the discovery of a barium blue straggler star (BSS) in M67, exhibiting enhancements in slow neutron-capture ( s -)process elements. Spectroscopic analysis of two BSSs (WOCS 9005 & WOCS 1020) and four stars located near the main-sequence turn ...

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

Wind Roche-lobe Overflow in Low-mass Binaries: Exploring the Origin of Rapidly Rotating Blue Lurkers
The Astrophysical JournalWind Roche-lobe overflow (WRLOF) is a mass-transfer mechanism proposed by Mohamed and Podsiadlowski for stellar binaries wherein the wind acceleration zone of the donor star exceeds its Roche-lobe radius, allowing stellar wind material to be transferred ...
