UBVH: Unified Bounding Volume and Scene Geometry Representation for Ray Tracing
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) are currently the most common data structure used to accelerate ray tracing. The existing BVH methods distinguish between the bounding volume representation associated with the interior BVH nodes and the scene geometry representation associated with leaf nodes.

Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We investigate the evaluation of points and derivatives of Bézier curves and surfaces on modern architectures, focusing on performance and guided by numerical error bounds. While the de Casteljau algorithm remains the reference for numerical robustness, its linear working‐set size imposes substantial register pressure on GPUs.

Comparisons of antifeedancy and spatialrepellency of three natural product repellents against horn flies, \u3ci\u3eHaematobia irritans\u3c/i\u3e (\u3ci\u3eDiptera:Muscidae\u3c/i\u3e) [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Horn flies are among the most important biting fly pests of cattle in the United States. Horn fly management is largely dependent upon pesticides, which ultimately leads to the rapid development of insecticide resistance.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Researchers combined aerial and ground surveys to map baobab distribution and assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobabs across Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. Researchers found that aerial surveys were an effective tool for mapping baobabs and that baobabs were more likely to occur closer to permanent water, at lower elevations, and in areas ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Targeted Selective Treatment (TST) can reduce the rate of resistance development in livestock gastrointestinal nematodes but can also reduce the effects of anthelmintics on non‐target organisms. Most studies of non‐target anthelmintic effects focus on beneficial species.

Epidermoid cyst as differential diagnosis for spherical keratoma: What do we know?
Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.Summary This article briefly presents the case of a space‐occupying coronary band mass that raised the question of how one can differentiate between two uncommonly seen but now commonly paired differential diagnoses and prompted a review of the relevant literature.

Melusine, Emblem of the Self: The Female Traveler and the Contours of Acceptable Difference
The German Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Though the foreign roots of Volksbücher such as Thüring von Ringoltingen's Melusine (1457) have long been recognized, these early modern German prose novels are still characterized as insular and folksy. Taking Melusine as an example, this article uses the framework of mobility to offer a new interpretation that posits the Volksbuch as an ...

Life‐stage variation in Sable Shearwater (Ardenna carneipes) physiology assessed using proteomics
Ibis, EarlyView.Life‐stage transitions in seabirds involve substantial shifts in physiological demands, yet the molecular mechanisms underpinning these changes remain poorly resolved. Here we applied untargeted data‐independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA‐MS) to characterize and compare the plasma proteomes of fledgling and adult Sable Shearwaters Ardenna ...
