Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

Take Me Home, Country Roads: Choosing Autonomous EVs Over Personal Aviation
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the potential long‐run effects of autonomous and electric vehicles, and a carbon tax, on personal domestic aviation demand in Australia. We estimate a discrete choice disutility model with two travel modes—car and air—using Australian National Visitor Survey data and Bayesian priors. We use multiplicative Fréchet errors,

Lost in Aggregation: Quantifying Measurement Error from Geographic Centroids
Economic Record, EarlyView.Due to privacy laws and regulations, microdata typically provide regional identifiers rather than exact coordinates. Researchers therefore often construct spatial variables from these aggregations, but the statistical implications depend on the research setting.

Criminology, EarlyView.Abstract Research on how delinquent peer associations affect individuals’ life courses is limited. This paper addresses this gap by examining delinquent peer network characteristics and their impact on offending trajectories through social network analysis (SNA) and group‐based trajectory modeling (GBTM).

Mapping diversity through geographical, environmental and attribute spaces
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding biodiversity patterns requires integrating information across the interrelated dimensions that organize life. Species occupy specific regions in geographic space, respond to environmental conditions and vary within attribute (or trait) spaces that are shaped by their ecological and evolutionary histories.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Reliable estimates of species distributions are crucial for understanding their conservation needs. Yet for many species, IUCN largely relies on expert‐drawn ranges, which are often inaccurate. Focusing on shieldtail snakes in peninsular India, we combined citizen science, literature, field, and museum records to create improved distribution maps for ...

A tutorial on Bayesian model averaging for exponential random graph models
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The use of exponential random graph models (ERGMs) is becoming prevalent in psychology due to their ability to explain and predict the formation of edges between vertices in a network. Valid inference with ERGMs requires correctly specifying endogenous and exogenous effects as network statistics, guided by theory, to represent the network ...

SDFs from Unoriented Point Clouds using Neural Variational Heat Distances
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We propose a novel variational approach for computing neural Signed Distance Fields (SDF) from unoriented point clouds. We first compute a small time step of heat flow (middle) and then use its gradient directions to solve for a neural SDF (right). Abstract We propose a novel variational approach for computing neural Signed Distance Fields (SDF) from ...

Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Surface‐based pattern simulations have proven valuable for texture design and scientific visualization, but existing methods face several limitations. Most simulations either target a narrow range of pattern types (e.g. spots, branching) or support a broad range of patterns at the cost of time‐consuming parameter tuning.
