The Reflexive Turn in Systems Engineering: A Disciplinary Response to Complexity
Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Future of Systems Engineering (FuSE) programme has called for the discipline to evolve as a transdiscipline capable of engaging complex eco‐socio‐technical challenges. Yet the pace of that evolution has been slower than the arguments for it would predict. This article examines why.

Understanding the Type 2 Immunity: An Evolving View Beyond Allergic Diseases
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Type 2 (T2) immunity is classically associated with defense against helminths and environmental threats, from a physiological perspective, and with allergies and eosinophilic inflammatory diseases, in a pathological sense. However, growing evidence reveals that T2 pathways also support other essential homeostatic functions, including tissue ...

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
