Quantifying the Effects of Spatial Inhomogeneity in an Autoclave LDPE Reactor Using CFD

Macromolecular Reaction Engineering, EarlyView.
A CFD simulation incorporating rigorous polymerization chemistry into a plant‐scale sliding mesh reactor with multiple PID controllers revealed axial flow patterns that segment the reactor into smaller compartments with different properties. More evident differences exist between the mixture within the agitator shaft swept volume and that outside of ...

A Numerical Method Combining Cubic Interpolated Propagation and Shifted Grünwald–Letnikov for Fractional Advection–Dispersion Equations

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in the numerical solution of fractional partial differential equations have yielded promising results. In particular, the Shifted Grünwald–Letnikov (SGL) approach allows for a generalization of the traditional finite difference method to the context of fractional differential equations.

Linking differences in personality to demography in the wandering albatross

Oikos, EarlyView.
Population dynamics are shaped by individual differences. With a good understanding of the relationships between individual differences and vital rates, population models can be improved to yield more realistic and detailed demographic projections. Personality is expected to shape individual differences in performance.

On an Aggregation Theory for Indicators Expressing Behaviors of Complex Systems With an Application to Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain attributes of large‐scale complex systems are often expressed through sets of indicators. For example, the sustainability of an entity, be it a nation, a city, an energy system, a corporation etc., can be effectively represented by indicators and corresponding data series.

Trifocal Relative Pose from Lines at Points and its Efficient Solution

, 2019
We present a new minimal problem for relative pose estimation mixing point features with lines incident at points observed in three views and its efficient homotopy continuation solver.

Enhancing generalized spectral clustering with embedding Laplacian graph regularization

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract An enhanced generalised spectral clustering framework that addresses the limitations of existing methods by incorporating the Laplacian graph and group effect into a regularisation term is presented. By doing so, the framework significantly enhances discrimination power and proves highly effective in handling noisy data.

Astigmatic changes after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in decompensated penetrating keratoplasty grafts

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the surgery‐induced changes of astigmatism after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in eyes with failed previous penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Design Retrospective, interventional cohort study based on prospective DMEK database.

Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
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.
