Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

Evolution characteristics of overburden structure in inclined fully mechanized caving under residual coal pillars of the upper layer

In the stratified fully mechanized caving of ultra-thick coal seams, the inclined layout of upper and lower caving faces leads to lower fully mechanized caving face intermittently crossing residual coal pillars of the upper layer. This results in complex

Quantifying effect of concurrent draw on extraction zones in block caving mines using large scale 3D physical model

, 2008
There remains a debate within the literature and among practitioners of caving methods as to the effect on draw zone geometry for the concurrent drawing of multiple drawpoints.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

Strategic conservation prioritization through creating and updating the regional species of greatest conservation need list in the northeastern United States

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is declining globally, underscoring the need for conservation strategies informed by regional expertise. In the northeastern United States, 14 state wildlife agencies and taxonomic experts developed the Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) list, revealing that global and national datasets captured only ~55% of regionally ...

Beyond species diversity: Functional responses of cave arthropods to microclimatic stability and structural complexity

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

Open Questions in Surgery for Hepatoblastoma: A Joined SIOPEL‐IPSO Survey

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Surgery is pivotal in the management of hepatoblastoma (HB) although approaches and techniques may vary. The Liver Group of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOPEL) and the International Pediatric Surgical Oncology (IPSO) group collaborated to develop an online survey to investigate specific technical aspects and ...

Imaging Point Source Groundwater Discharges in a Confined Coastal Aquifer Using Electrical Resistivity

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Marine electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is applied to characterize point‐source submarine groundwater discharge (PSGD) along NW Yucatán. ERT observations and forward modeling constrain conduit detectability under varying hydrogeological conditions.

Draw control strategy for sublevel caving mines : A probabilistic approach

, 2018
Sublevel caving is an underground mass mining method used for extracting different types of ores from the earth crust. Mines using sublevel caving (SLC) as the primary mining method are generally highly mechanized with standardized and independent unit ...
