Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

ABSTRACT Little is known about consumer preferences for combinations of circular business model patterns, despite their potential to benefit the design of product services. This study examines consumer preferences for product‐as‐a‐service offers, combined with circular product attributes, across Sweden and the Netherlands.

Mixed Steiner Triple Systems With Shortest Length
ABSTRACT A mixed Steiner triple system is a 3‐GDD which is viewed as a code with minimum Hamming distance 3. These codes are the minimum weight codewords of a 1‐perfect code over a mixed alphabet, when the related codes exist, and provide the connection between 3‐GDDs and coding theory.

Linear Versus Centred Colouring via Pseudogrids
ABSTRACT A centred colouring of a graph is a vertex colouring in which every connected subgraph contains a vertex whose colour is unique and a linear colouring is a vertex colouring in which every (not‐necessarily induced) path contains a vertex whose colour is unique. For a graph G $G$, the centred chromatic number χ cen ( G ) ${\chi }_{\text{cen}}(G)$

ABSTRACT In an effort to understand the complexity of the maximum independent set problem, Chvátal introduced t‐perfect graphs. While a full characterization of this class remains open, important progress has been made for claw‐free graphs [Bruhn and Stein, Math. Program. 2012] and P 5 ${P}_{5}$‐free graphs [Bruhn and Fuchs, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 2017]

Tree Independence Number III. Thetas, Prisms and Stars
ABSTRACT We prove that for every t ∈ N $t\in {\mathbb{N}}$ there exists τ = τ ( t ) ∈ N $\tau =\tau (t)\in {\mathbb{N}}$ such that every (theta, prism, K 1 , t ${K}_{1,t}$)‐free graph has tree independence number at most τ $\tau $ (where we allow “prisms” to have one path of length zero).

Basis Networks: Learning basis functions for free‐form triangulations
Abstract We present a framework for learning compactly supported basis functions that define tangent continuous surfaces based on coarse irregular triangle meshes. The basis functions are represented as MLPs. Smoothness of the basis functions is achieved by using the values of Loop basis functions as the parameterization of the surface.

DiskScissors: Cutting Arbitrary‐Topology Solids for Bijective Mapping
Abstract An algorithm for cutting solid objects in a topology‐controlled manner is presented. Concretely, given a loop on the object boundary, a disk‐topology cut surface bounded by the loop is constructed in the interior. In contrast to various previous approaches, both disk topology and conformance to the prescribed loop are ensured by construction ...

On the Limits of Intransitive Coordination
ABSTRACT A growing number of authors suggest that concept coordination—the kind of relation we pick out when we say that the concepts of one or more individuals represent something as the same—is not a transitive relation. Here we consider global features of representational systems to break new ground in the assessment of the intransitivity view. From

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...
