First evidence of a mandibular crest in Brasileodactylus Kellner, 1984 (Pterosauria, Pteranodontoidea, Anhangueridae), with comments on pterosaur headcrests

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brasileodactylus araripensis Kellner, 1984, is a toothed pterosaur from the Lower Cretaceous Romualdo Formation of the Araripe Basin, Brazil. Traditionally regarded as crestless, the species has been central to debates on anhanguerid taxonomy, as most members of the clade possess well‐developed sagittal cranial or dentary crests.

Attention Based Optimization for 3D Shape Registration

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Transformers are sequence‐to‐sequence architectures originally designed to handle structurally rigid and order‐sensitive data, such as text and images. At their core, they exploit the attention mechanism, which is permutation‐equivariant and relies on computing token‐to‐token relationships.
