Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Risk management strategies in higher education

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Higher education centres are facing escalating risks, such as increasing competition from a growing number of higher education organisations, as well as greater exposure to more complex regulatory frameworks and external evaluations. Consequently, university risk management has assumed increasing significance.

Phosphorylation of BigH1 regulates its expression pattern and promotes embryonic development

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phosphorylation is a key regulator of the linker histone variant BigH1 during Drosophila embryogenesis. We reveal that N‐terminal phosphorylation promotes the timely removal of BigH1 from chromatin. In contrast, C‐terminal phosphorylation supports early nuclear divisions and embryonic viability.

Crystal structure and biochemical analysis of the polyester‐degrading carboxylesterase SM0281 from the symbiotic legume‐associated rhizobacterium Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The microbial degradation of synthetic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is mediated by diverse α/β‐hydrolases, many of which remain poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the α/β‐hydrolase SM0281 from Sinorhizobium meliloti and found that it exhibits robust carboxylesterase and polyesterase activities toward PET, PCL ...

Does Survey Angling CPUE Reflect Population Density of Northern Pike (Esox lucius) in Small Boreal Lakes?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Knowing the relationship between catch per unit effort (CPUE) and population density is crucial for the management of recreational fisheries. We conducted standardized angling for pike in 16 lakes (3.4–22.1 ha) to test whether lure type, color, and pike density affect CPUE and the size of captured fish.

A global perspective on the annual cycles of whimbrels

Ibis, EarlyView.
Comparative analyses are central to understanding broad‐scale patterns in avian ecology, yet their application is often constrained by fragmented and uneven data availability. Recent advances in tracking technology have generated unprecedented insights into shorebird movements, resulting in numerous studies on single populations or flyways.

A novel all‐in‐one dynamic wrinkle evaluation system: Development, validation and application in cosmetic industries

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Photo grading of dynamic lines in the dynamic line repeatability validation study. Abstract Objective This study aimed to develop and validate a novel, integrated dynamic wrinkle assessment system based on standardized, real‐time and multi‐angle facial images and video recordings, and to explore its potential application in evaluating the anti‐wrinkle ...
