UBVH: Unified Bounding Volume and Scene Geometry Representation for Ray Tracing
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) are currently the most common data structure used to accelerate ray tracing. The existing BVH methods distinguish between the bounding volume representation associated with the interior BVH nodes and the scene geometry representation associated with leaf nodes.

NePO: Neural Point Octrees for Large‐Scale Novel View Synthesis
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We introduce Neural Point Octrees (NePOs), a scalable radiance field representation that organises point clouds hierarchically for efficient optimisation and rendering of large scale scenes. NePOs enable level of detail selection, joint refinement of appearance and camera poses, and real‐time rendering of hundreds of millions of points.

Environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow prices for dairy farms
Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.Abstract We estimate the environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow price for Ontario dairy farms. We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.

Behind the Curtain: COVID‐19 as a Lens to Precarity in Museum Labor
Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using in‐depth interviews with emerging and early professional museum workers in New Orleans, Louisiana, this article expands on scholarship around the perceived and actual value of nonprofit labor. It adds qualitative support to the argument that museum labor is real labor—open to exploitation and abuse while constantly negotiated internally ...

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
