Basis Networks: Learning basis functions for free‐form triangulations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a framework for learning compactly supported basis functions that define tangent continuous surfaces based on coarse irregular triangle meshes. The basis functions are represented as MLPs. Smoothness of the basis functions is achieved by using the values of Loop basis functions as the parameterization of the surface.

Normal caloric intake with high-fat diet induces metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and dyslipidemia without obesity in rats

Scientific Reports
Excessive caloric intake and obesity due to high-fat (HFD) and high-disaccharide (HDD) diets have been recognized as major contributing factors to dyslipidemia and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Survey on differential estimators for 3d point clouds

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advancements in 3D scanning technologies, including LiDAR and photogrammetry, have enabled the precise digital replication of real‐world objects. These methods are widely used in fields such as GIS, robotics, and cultural heritage. However, the point clouds generated by such scans are often noisy and unstructured, posing challenges for ...

Tangent Blow‐Ups for Processing Non‐Manifold Geometry

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Many geometry processing pipelines implicitly assume their input data is a manifold, or is sampled from one, with a unique tangent plane at every point. Geometric data, however, routinely contains sharp features like edges, corners, self‐intersections, branching junctions, and other singularities, rendering standard methods ill‐defined at ...

Efficient Sequential Data Migration Scheme Considering Dying Data for HDD/SSD Hybrid Storage Systems

IEEE Access, 2017
Because the solid-state drive (SSD) shows high access performance, it is usually integrated into existing hard disk drive (HDD)-based storage hierarchy to form HDD/SSD hybrid storage systems.

An approach to minimize inventory risk due to weather using buyback contract with weather rebate

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper addresses the inventory risk owing to weather fluctuations faced by retail companies and designs a new class of contract incorporating financial risk hedging. The designed contract not only coordinates the supply chain as the buyback contract does but also improves the supply chain profit by considering the inventory risk due to ...
