Mesh representation matters: investigating the influence of different mesh features on perceptual and spatial fidelity of deep 3D morphable models

Virtual Reality & Intelligent Hardware
Background: Deep 3D morphable models (deep 3DMMs) play an essential role in computer vision. They are used in facial synthesis, compression, reconstruction and animation, avatar creation, virtual try-on, facial recognition systems and medical imaging ...

Transition in Residues: On Depleted Oil Wells, Radioactive Geophysics, and the Origins of the Twentieth Century's Energy Mix

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
The oil and uranium industries always have been intertwined. Both industries are inherently global and span an extensive geological history. The formation of uranium and oil deposits, and their eventual extraction, is a story circling through early planetary history, continuing in depleted oil wells in Germany, Canada, and France, and lingering well ...

Evidentiary Authority as a System: Johann Christoph Gatterer and the Collective Making of Historical Knowledge in the Eighteenth Century

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
How is historical evidence conveyed? How could an eighteenth‐century scholar vouch for the information stored on paper, drafted with the quill, and publicized in copperplate engravings or letterpress? In this article, I employ material and medial perspectives to reconstruct the multiple production stages of Johann Christoph Gatterer's Historia ...

Cast‐Molded Channelized Hydrogel Scaffolds With Stereolithography‐Printed Templates

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Creating internal vascular networks within hydrogel scaffolds is crucial for providing the encapsulated cells with the necessary nutrients, oxygen, and metabolic exchange. Current methods for hydrogel scaffold fabrication face significant hurdles, including the challenge of forming sufficient internal channels, achieving precise scaffold ...

Undergraduate Students' Misconceptions About Protein Structure and Function Stem From Challenges in Visuospatial Reasoning

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the structure and function of proteins is crucial for students as it provides fundamental insights into one of the central building blocks of life. Yet, undergraduate students struggle to make sense of proteins and apply knowledge about why structure affects function.

Building Trust for Sustainable Disclosure: The Effect of Social Capital on Sustainable Disclosure and the Moderating Role of Corruption

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the effect of social capital on firms' Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure practices using a sample of US companies. We propose that public corruption moderates this relationship. Our findings indicate that for social capital to effectively enhance ESG disclosure, it must function within a low‐corruption ...

Logging In and Staying On: Exploring Immersive Virtual Influencers and How They Drive Consumers' Immersive Time

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the role of virtual influencers (VIs) as critical touchpoints for enhancing consumers' “Immersive Time (ImT)”—the time spent on virtual reality‐empowered immersive platforms. By blurring the lines between virtual and physical‐world experiences, immersive platforms transform VIs into “Immersive Virtual Influencers (IVIs ...

Loss of the epithelial transcription factor grhl3 leads to variably penetrant developmental phenotypes in zebrafish

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Environmental influence is critical for embryogenesis but is significantly under‐appreciated under lab conditions, which are not typically designed to robustly test environmental variability. Here, we report environmental effects on the developmental phenotype of zebrafish lacking the transcription factor Grainyhead‐like 3 (grhl3 ...

From Lab to Market: Strategies for Stabilizing and Scaling Perovskite Solar Cells via Printing Technologies

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Over the past 13 years, the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have experienced important enhancements. PSCs exhibit superior optoelectronic properties and can be fabricated using inexpensive materials. To compete with first‐generation photovoltaic technologies, it is essential to scale up production.
