FaceIt: Real‐Time On‐Device Identity‐Preserving Portrait Animation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
A real‐time, on‐device algorithm for animating a single portrait image using detailed facial expressions and motions from a driving video achieving visual quality that can outperform even techniques with significantly higher computational overhead. Abstract Recently, significant progress has been made in generating expressive and temporally coherent ...

Strength‐Based Parenting and Relationship Quality in Latine Families Facing Justice System Risk

Family Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine whether parenting practices that are shaped by culturally embedded value systems (responsiveness, autonomy granting, and affective warmth) and familism are associated with parent–adolescent relationship quality among Latine youth, and whether these associations differ by youth justice involvement and gender.

Bioimage management and analysis in Galaxy: Tools, workflows, training, and community practices

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Image analysis in the life sciences is constrained by fragmented software ecosystems, heterogeneous data formats, and limited reproducibility. These barriers hinder the reuse of image analysis methods and the sustainability of tools. In this article, we describe how the Galaxy platform enables FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and ...

Feedback and Contagion through Distressed Competition

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms tend to compete more aggressively when facing financial distress. This intensified competition reduces profit margins, pushing them further into distress and adversely affecting their industry peers. To study such feedback and contagion effects, we incorporate strategic competition in a dynamic model with long‐term defaultable debt ...

Disney's Auteur Problem: Framing Corporate Creativity in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

The Journal of Popular Culture, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT At its core, Star Wars is a franchise George Lucas has led via his auteur vision. Since Lucas handed over the franchise reins to Disney, the company has courted several other auteurs to direct new entries in the series—each of those endeavors ended problematically.

Constraining ΛLTB models with galaxy cluster counts from next-generation surveys

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The Universe’s assumed homogeneity and isotropy is known as the cosmological principle. It is one of the assumptions that led to the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric and is a cornerstone of modern cosmology, because the metric plays a crucial role in the determination of the cosmological observables.

Nature's Complexity Alive: Farewell to Several Unificatory Cosmological Arguments for Monism

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Throughout history, numerous thinkers have claimed that monism—in the form of priority monism, existence monism, monotheistic monism, or versions that posit an extra‐cosmic ultimate being—theoretically surpasses pluralism, above all by positing a unified universe.

A C‐repeat binding factor–salicylic acid (CBF–SA) module links wound‐induced evaporative cooling to tissue repair in plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
A model of the C‐repeat binding factor–salicylic acid (CBF–SA) module in plant wound healing. Summary Repairing damaged tissues is essential for the survival of all organisms. In plants, tissue injury rapidly triggers defense and repair programs. However, the molecular mechanisms linking early injury cues to the later stage of wound repair remain ...

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists. Simulation Arguments argue that our world might be (or, in stronger versions, that it probably is) a mere computer simulation ...

How Many Worlds Could There Be? David Lewis and Advanced Modalizing

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advanced modalizing, namely, possibilities and necessities concerning modal space itself, is problematic for a Lewis‐style analysis of modality. A popular solution, proposed by Divers, postulates explicit semantic clauses for a collapse of advanced modalizing, to the conclusion that all such matters are, if true in the first place, both ...
