Global Apparel Value Chain in the Post‐MFA Era: Exploring Bangladesh's Competitive Edge

Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study revisits Bangladesh's competitive edge by examining patterns of global apparel trade during the post‐Multi‐Fibre Arrangement (MFA) era using a large bilateral panel of 27 leading apparel exporters trading with 163 destinations with coverage of 90% of the world apparel exports.

The Effects of External Macroeconomic Shocks and Uncertainty on Bangladesh's Fiscal Sustainability

Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, Bangladesh has adopted a deficit‐biased fiscal policy, supported by robust GDP growth and relatively low interest rates, capitalizing on its access to concessional financing. However, Bangladesh's graduation to lower‐middle‐income status and its gradual integration into the global economy have exposed the country to external ...

Wearable Tactile Pressure Sensing for Compression Garments and Control of Active Compression Devices [PDF]

, 2015
Compression garments on the lower limbs have been used for the treatment of venous deficiencies for centuries. More recently, healthy athletes have used similar garments for an edge in performance and improved recovery times.

Tracing Identity in a Fragmented Past: Multi‐Proxy Analysis of Human Skeletal Remains From Dungowan Creek, New South Wales, Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human skeletal remains constitute critical archaeological evidence for reconstructing past societies, yet their investigation requires careful ethical, cultural, and legislative consideration. This paper reports on the discovery, recovery and analysis of a set of skeletal remains encountered during a cultural heritage management (CHM ...

Who Pays the Heat Debt? Ethics, Labour, and Governance in a Warming World

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme heat is emerging as one of the most consequential occupational hazards of the 21st century. More than 2.4 billion workers, over 70% of the global labour force, are exposed to excessive heat, with more than 22 million heat‐related occupational injuries and nearly 19,000 deaths each year.

When Jobs Change: Skills Mismatch and the Value of Training

British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the impact of rapidly changing skill requirements on skills mismatch in Europe and the role of training in mitigating adverse effects. Using data on approximately 70 million online job vacancies, we estimate the extent to which occupational skill requirements changed between 2019 and 2023 across European Union (EU ...

Neural Local Inter‐reflection Modeling for Garment Fold Rendering

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Realistic garment rendering requires simulating complex multi‐bounce light paths within intricate fold geometries. In these regions, conventional path tracing is computationally expensive as light becomes trapped, necessitating high bounce counts for convergence.

A Texture‐Free Multi‐Scale Model for Surface‐Based Rendering of Knitted Fabrics

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Knitted fabrics present unique challenges for realistic rendering due to their complicated structure and scale‐dependent appearance. Existing methods typically rely on explicit yarn geometry, which is computationally complex, or texture‐based representations that require heavy storage and precomputed maps. In this paper, we introduce the first

Interpolated Adaptive Linear Reduced Order Modeling for Deformation Dynamics

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Linear reduced‐order modeling (ROM) is widely used for efficient simulation of deformation dynamics, but its accuracy is often limited by the fixed linearization of the reduced mapping. We propose a new adaptive strategy for linear ROM that allows the reduced mapping to vary dynamically in response to the evolving deformation state ...
