Progressively Projected Newton's Method
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Newton's Method is widely used to find the solution of complex non‐linear simulation problems. To guarantee a descent direction, it is common practice to clamp the negative eigenvalues of each element Hessian prior to assembly—a strategy known as Projected Newton (PN)—but this perturbation often hinders convergence.

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.

Exit dynamics from organic certification in Quebec
Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.Abstract In Quebec, organic‐certification exits remained persistently high at 5% –7% annually over 2021–2025, while entries fell sharply from 10.8% to 3.4%. By 2025, exits exceeded entries for the first time, contracting the certified stock and reversing a decade of expansion.

Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A long‐standing topic of concern in the literature on governmental auditing is whether the aims of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) or other central audit institutions should include detecting fraudulent use of public money. The balance of opinion has been against this proposition, largely for reasons of infeasibility.

Boss Quality and Employee Work Intensity: Evidence from Europe and the United States
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How does boss quality relate to the work intensity of subordinates? Bridging research on the antecedents of work intensity and the consequences of boss quality, we analyze this relationship using data from the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey and longitudinal data from the 2015/2018 American Working Conditions Survey. In cross‐sectional,
