Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis
Abstract We investigate the evaluation of points and derivatives of Bézier curves and surfaces on modern architectures, focusing on performance and guided by numerical error bounds. While the de Casteljau algorithm remains the reference for numerical robustness, its linear working‐set size imposes substantial register pressure on GPUs.

NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields
Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

0.001% and counting: Revisiting the price rounding tax
Abstract In 1991 and 2008, Israel abolished the equivalents of 1¢ and 5¢ coins, respectively, effectively eliminating low‐denomination coins and introducing rounding in cash transactions. When totals were rounded up, shoppers incurred a small rounding tax.

Beyond the Rebel ‘Territorial Trap’: Governing Armed Sovereign Formations in Eastern Myanmar
ABSTRACT Territorial control is a central concept in the study of civil wars and rebel governance. However, scholars often fall into a ‘territorial trap’, assuming that territorial control is either an outcome of or a precondition for armed governance. Based on immersive fieldwork in eastern Myanmar, this article traces how different spatial orderings ...

Defining the geographical level of competition: a taxonomy of industry tradability
Abstract The paper develops a taxonomy of industry tradability to define the geographical level at which competition takes place. First, it creates a novel dataset that combines production and international trade data for both goods and services industries, defined at a detailed (3‐digit) level of industry aggregation for 15 European countries.
