One‐more‐vertex Next‐Event Estimation with Hierarchical Geometry Sampling

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Robust next‐event estimation (NEE) remains a challenge in scenes characterized by sparse or small‐scale geometry where indirect illumination is the primary transport mechanism. In these scenes, traditional path construction, which relies on local directional sampling, often fails to find intersections with the sparse geometry, and standard NEE

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Afamelanotide improves quality of life and light tolerance in Austrian erythropoietic protoporphyria patients

open access: yesJDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe phototoxic reactions that occur within minutes of light exposure. In clinical studies, afamelanotide has been shown to prolong pain‐free sun exposure, improve quality of life, and reduce the frequency and severity of phototoxic reactions ...

Extreme weather and economic crisis in the 1430s in England, and the implications for tenurial change

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...

Fracture load and three‐dimensional internal void analysis of direct composites used to restore worn molars

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated (1) the load‐bearing capacity of molars restored with direct occlusal veneers fabricated either from short‐fiber‐reinforced composite (SFRC) or particulate‐filled composite (PFC) and the presence of internal voids within the materials, and (2) effect of water storage on the fracture load and correlation between internal ...
