Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Step2Motion: Locomotion Reconstruction from Pressure Sensing Insoles

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Human motion is fundamentally driven by continuous physical interaction with the environment. Whether walking, running, or simply standing, the forces exchanged between our feet and the ground provide crucial insights for understanding and reconstructing human movement. Recent advances in wearable insole devices offer a compelling solution for

Investigating Performance and Practices with Univariate Distribution Charts

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract A range of charts with different strengths and weaknesses exists to support the visual analysis of univariate distributions, with a limited understanding of which charts best support which tasks and users, and how practitioners use charts. We categorize the available charts for univariate distributions into four groups and present the results ...

Individualized Pathfinding in Rugged Open Terrains Using Semantic Navigation Meshes

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce semantic navigation meshes for complex outdoor terrains, partitioning space into regions with coherent semantic properties like slope or vegetation density. The resulting graphs enable efficient pathfinding with agent‐specific, parameterized cost functions without precomputation, accelerating search while maintaining path quality close to ...

Decoverslipping of Archival Cytology Aspirate Smears for Ancillary Studies: A Review of Methods and Institutional Experience With Freezer‐Based Techniques

Cytopathology, EarlyView.
Freezer‐based decoverslipping of archival cytology aspirate smears achieved only 32.5% slide‐level success (26/80), with mounting medium composition and coverslip material, not freezing temperature or duration, identified as dominant determinants, underscoring the need to align coverslipping practices with anticipated ancillary testing requirements ...

Dynare replication of “A Model of Secular Stagnation: Theory and Quantitative Evaluation” by Eggertsson et al. (2019)

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 403-423, April 2025.
Abstract This paper replicates the study “A Model of Secular Stagnation: Theory and Quantitative Evaluation” by Eggertsson et al. using the Dynare toolkit. Replication is important as it confirms the results of the original article, provides a user‐friendly version using Dynare, and shows how to deal with large‐scale models with occasionally binding ...

How do strategic leaders frame corporate purpose? Investigating competing frames and framing approaches in executive discourse

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Corporate purpose is gaining momentum in contemporary business communities, yet it often appears shrouded in ambiguity. Although research is growing in popularity, the analysis of corporate purpose from the perspective of strategic leaders remains an unexplored domain.

Persistent in vitro nociceptor hyperexcitability and axonal retraction produced by repeated paclitaxel doses

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Repeated paclitaxel exposure causes long‐lasting nociceptor hyperexcitability and axonal retraction in adult sensory neurons. Using a long‐term primary nociceptor culture, we show that hyperexcitability is mediated by sequential upregulation of NaV1.8, TRPV1, TRPA1, and TRPM8 channels.

Testing for Contagion in International Financial Markets: To See More, Go Higher

Financial Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional measures of financial contagion rely on correlation shifts, overlooking higher moments such as skewness and kurtosis. We examine contagion during two major financial crises, incorporating lower‐ and higher‐moment measures. We analyze stock market returns from 22 major markets at different frequencies, offering a global perspective ...
