Real‐Time Conformal Maps and Parameterizations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a simple algorithm to conformally map between two simple and bounded planar domains based on the concept of harmonic measure, which is a conformal invariant. With suitable preprocessing, the algorithm is fast enough to compute all possible conformal maps (having three real degrees of freedom) between the two domains in real time in

Optimal Storage Rack Design for a 3-dimensional Compact AS/RS [PDF]
In this paper, we consider a newly-designed compact three-dimensional automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). The system consists of an automated crane taking care of movements in the horizontal and vertical direction.

Addressing environmental misperceptions for nature recovery
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract A poorly understood and systemic challenge to global conservation agreements is shifting baseline syndrome (SBS), wherein people misperceive the extent to which nature has changed. This can diminish societal expectations for nature recovery. We broadened the conceptual framing of SBS beyond the more common elements of nature loss to include ...

A stakeholder model of performance in networks evidence from Central European franchising firms
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract This study addresses the underexplored question of how a multilateral stakeholder orientation of the franchisor impacts franchise network performance. Drawing on the attention‐based view of the firm operationalized through the stakeholder salience approach, we develop a conceptual framework suggesting a franchisor's focus on the interests of a

Visual Cues Can Alter the Behavioural Responses of Dragonfly Larvae to Chemical Alarm Cues
Ethology, EarlyView.Using a controlled experimental approach, we examined how chemical and visual cues influence antipredator behaviour in Aeshna cyanea larvae and tested whether risk‐related information can be socially transmitted among nearby conspecifics. Our results show that dragonfly larvae do not copy the antipredator responses of others, but visual cues alter how ...

From Withering to Flourishing: Repairing Academia Through Holistic and Sustainable Care Practices
Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We are scholars and educators committed to embracing care while working within colonialist, neoliberal, and performative academic environments, and we are withering. Our withering is balanced against our inner strength, a fierce belief in connection and community, and a commitment to harnessing the power of transformation.
