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.

Enchanting the Otherwise: Magical Realism and the Gendered Ontologies of Organizational Becoming

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper enacts a feminist‐posthumanist reimagining of gender as ontological disturbance, using magical realism not as metaphor but as epistemological method. Rejecting representational logics and the managerial rationalities of organizational realism, we advance gender not as identity or role but as spectral interference—a transversal ...

Sleep Deprivation in Mice: Looking Beyond the Slow Wave Rebound

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep is a fundamental process supporting the dynamic regulation of neural function. Emerging methods have proposed that the aperiodic components of brain signals (such as the spectral slope, spectral intercept, and spectral knee), in addition to entropy‐based measures, offer robust empirical markers of neural states.

Modern microbial landscape: Aerial mapping of microbially induced sedimentary structures forming in a coastal sabkha

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) are considered important for understanding primitive life on Earth and for guiding the search for life on other planets. These structures are regarded as macroscopic fossils of early communities of unicellular organisms that did not produce skeletons or shells. In this study, field observations

In silico predictions of action potential propagation in doxorubicin cardiotoxicity: A parametric study using preclinical 3D magnetic resonance imaging‐based fibrotic left ventricle models

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of the study's methodology and key findings. In a preclinical swine model, doxorubicin administration induced cardiotoxicity, characterized by diffuse fibrotic remodelling and altered electrical function, as assessed by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and electrophysiological mapping.

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Parallel fractal image compression

, 1997
The objectives in the first part are to obtain large compression ratio and high image quality after performing the fractal image compression (encoding) and decompression (decoding) to real world images. Fractal image compression is still a new image compression approach but it shows great potential.

Performance of PBF‐Printed Micro‐Channel Bipolar Plates as a Function of Flow‐Field Parameters and Plane Area

Fuel Cells, Volume 26, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT SUS 316L bipolar plates (BPPs) with rectangular micro‐channels for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) were fabricated using powder bed fusion (PBF) technology, and the effects of flow‐field structure parameters (channel width, rib width, and channel depth) on fuel cell performance were analyzed.

Chromosome segregation in a minimal bacterial cell driven by SMC protein complexes

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Minimal bacterial cells such as JCVI‐Syn3A provide a powerful system for uncovering the essential mechanisms of chromosome organization and segregation. Lacking canonical systems such as Min and ParABS, JCVI‐Syn3A relies primarily on structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) protein complexes for partitioning.

Time‐Resolved SAXS Reveals Distinct Millisecond Metal‐Induced Conformational Dynamics of Monomeric α‐Synuclein

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Time‐resolved SAXS reveals how physiologically relevant metal ions shape the earliest conformational responses of monomeric α‐synuclein. Fe3+ induces rapid compaction, Cu2+ generates heterogeneous and partially folded ensembles, while Mn2+ and Zn2+ cause only modest changes.
