NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

Targeting PCSK9 in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells: An Effective Strategy to Suppress Ferroptosis and Attenuate Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Progression

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
PCSK9 aggravates AAA by promoting ferroptosis in VSMCs. In the pathological AAA environment, PCSK9 upregulation triggers ferritinophagy‐dependent degradation of FTH1, leading to Fe2+ release, triggering lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis, exacerbating AAA.

Gendered Effects of the Minimum Wage

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Women work disproportionately in low‐hours jobs, which pay lower wages and are more exposed to minimum‐wage policies. We estimate an equilibrium search model with worker and firm heterogeneity, jobs differing in wages and hours, and imperfect compliance. Applied to Germany, the 8.50 € minimum wage reallocates women toward higher‐hours jobs and

An autonomous and guided crowd in panic situations

Journal of Computer Science and Technology, 2007
This paper describes a model for simulating crowds in real time. We deal with the hierarchy of the crowd, groups and individuals. The groups are the most complex structure that can be controlled in different degrees of autonomy.

Freight distribution optimization by implementing the team orienteering problem with occasional drivers

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This research evaluates the effectiveness of a hybrid crowdshipping system that integrates occasional drivers with traditional delivery services (OD+TD) to improve the efficiency of freight distribution. By implementing the team orienteering problem with occasional drivers model, we develop a mathematical model and an agile optimization ...

Multiagent System Applied to the Modeling and Simulation of Pedestrian Traffic in Counterflow [PDF]

An agent-based model to simulate a pedestrian crowd in a corridor is presented. Pedestrian crowd models are valuable tools to gain insight into the behavior of human crowds in both, everyday and crisis situations.

Assessing second‐price auctions for parcel exchanges in last‐mile logistics

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Optimizing equity and efficiency in the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This study addresses the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem, formulated as the strategic prepositioning of a heterogeneous aerial firefighting fleet across capacity‐constrained airbases. A novel bi‐objective model is proposed that simultaneously optimizes efficiency (aggregate risk‐weighted accessibility) and equity (minimized ...
