Some Recent Results on Pie Cutting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
For cake cutting, cuts are parallel to an axis and yield rectangular pieces. As such, cutting a cake is viewed as dividing a line segment. For pie cutting, cuts are radial from the center of a disc to the circumference and yield sectors or wedge-shaped

Cheia de axé (full of axé): Spirituality, resistance, and repair in Pernambuco's Afro‐Brazilian traditional communities

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how Afro‐Brazilian communities in Pernambuco respond to state‐led industrial development through culturally rooted practices of resistance and repair. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research in the coastal municipalities of Cabo de Santo Agostinho and Ipojuca, this study traces the effects of Brazil's large‐scale ...

Optimising Sparse Matrix Vector multiplication for large scale FEM problems on FPGA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sparse Matrix Vector multiplication (SpMV) is an important kernel in many scientific applications. In this work we propose an architecture and an automated customisation method to detect and optimise the architecture for block diagonal sparse matrices ...

Quality of life for pediatric patients with short bowel syndrome‐associated intestinal failure treated with teduglutide

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The complex care needs of pediatric patients with short bowel syndrome‐associated intestinal failure (SBS‐IF) can negatively impact the health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients and their caregivers. We assessed the impact of teduglutide on HRQoL of pediatric patients with SBS‐IF.

Sexual reproduction in invasive Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) in south Sweden

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
To understand the potential for northward expansion of knotweeds into currently uninvaded regions, it is crucial to assess the potential for sexual reproduction alongside the ongoing vegetative spread. For that reason, we tested viability in Reynoutria japonica seeds in south Sweden, a region where viable seeds had not been previously reported ...

Cutting A Pie Is Not A Piece Of Cake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Is there a division among n players of a cake using n-1 parallel vertical cuts, or of a pie using n radial cuts, that is envy-free (each player thinks he or she receives a largest piece and so does not envy another player) and undominated (there is no ...

Biocultural conservation as an alternative pathway for conservation: A case study of the Inclusive Conservation Initiative in northern Kenya

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) aims to conserve 30% of the planet by 2030, yet mounting evidence indicates that current methods for preventing biodiversity loss are insufficient and often intensify unjust conditions for Indigenous Peoples and local communities.

Simulation Insights Into Enhanced Emitter Contact Passivation via LECO on Industrial TOPCon Solar Cells

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Numerical simulations were employed to boost industrial TOPCon cells from 25.5% to 26.07% by suppressing J0e,metal,eff without compromising ρc with a dual optimization strategy: (1) engineering the selective emitter sheet resistance (Rsh_SE) to 117 Ω/□ and (2) reducing the LECO‐induced partial metal contact ratio (fpmc) to 1%.
