Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Variable‐Rate Texture Compression: Real‐Time Rendering with JPEG
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Although variable‐rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real‐time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable‐rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the ...

Risks of concealing environmental degradation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

Do re‐employment bonuses increase employment? Evidence from the Idaho Return to Work Bonus programme
Economica, EarlyView.Abstract In June 2020, Idaho announced the Return to Work Bonus (RWB) programme, which provided residents who returned to work with bonuses of up to $1500. We present difference‐in‐differences, triple differences, event studies and synthetic control estimates suggesting that the programme may have supported employment and workforce participation ...

CoRR, 2020 In this paper, I present churn prediction techniques that have been released so far. Churn prediction is used in the fields of Internet services, games, insurance, and management. However, since it has been used intensively to increase the predictability of various industry/academic fields, there is a big difference in its definition and utilization ...
