Dynamic Wave Trains: A Procedural Approach to Spatially Varying Ocean Synthesis

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
In this paper, we present a high performance procedural model capable of synthesizing and rendering a virtually infinite ocean. Our method exhibits spatial variations as the orientations, speed and choppiness of the waves is parametrized for each frequencies and each point in space. The provided visual abstract exhibits a sunset rendering of a large 40

Optimum mix of foamed concrete by using different materials [PDF]

, 2009
Foamed Concrete is a special concrete which can be very useful in the construction because it is lightweight and a self compacted concrete. It is necessary here and can be cast easily into every corner of formwork especially for mass concreting.

Contextual Learning of New Meanings for Familiar Words: Perturbation of Original Meanings Occurs Without Deliberate Study

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract The present study investigated learning new meanings of known words from reading, following Hulme et al.’s (2018) study. English speakers read four short stories containing 16 critical words (i.e., familiar word forms assigned invented secondary meanings).

PFAS Vadose Zone Mass Discharge at an AFFF‐Impacted Site: 1. Validation Based on a Multiple Lines‐of‐Evidence Approach

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Questions have recently been raised about the suitability of using porewater samples collected with suction lysimeters to estimate per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mass discharge in the vadose zone. Multiple lines of evidence were evaluated to determine if porewater samples collected during a data gaps investigation in the former ...

Increasing the Acceptability of Insect‐Based Foods as Future Foods: A Comprehensive Review of Barriers, Strategies, and Pathways to Mainstream Adoption

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly recognized for their high nutritional value and favorable environmental profile, yet their acceptance (defined as the continuum from willingness to try and purchase to repeated consumption) in Western and globalized food systems remains limited by cultural, sensory, regulatory, and economic barriers.

Foaming Processes and Properties of Geopolymer Foam Concrete

Geopolymer foam concrete (GFC) is created by incorporating pores into geopolymer slurry or mortar. The functional and mechanical properties, such as thermal insulation, compressive strength, and density, are influenced by the characteristics of the pores and the properties of their walls.
