The Relational Character of Canadian Nation‐Building Infrastructure in the 21st Century
Abstract Infrastructure development is central to Canada's nation‐building process. This article argues that the federal government has recalibrated its nation‐building mandate from unilateral state command to relational orchestration. Through thematic analysis of thirty‐eight policy documents related to three federal infrastructure plans (2007–2016 ...

LeafFit: Plant Assets Creation from 3D Gaussian Splatting
Abstract We propose LeafFit, a pipeline that converts 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) of individual plants into editable, instanced mesh assets. While 3DGS faithfully captures complex foliage, its high memory footprint and lack of mesh topology make it incompatible with traditional game production workflows. We address this by leveraging the repetition of

FlowGS: Controlling Information Flow for Graph‐Based Interaction in 3D Gaussian Splatting
Abstract 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently enabled real‐time, high‐quality novel view synthesis. However, its formulation treats each Gaussian independently, lacking explicit information exchange between neighboring elements and limiting its ability to capture local structure.

Advances in 4D Representation: Geometry, Motion, and Interaction
We survey 4D representation through three key pillars — geometry, motion, and interaction — offering a selective, representation‐centric perspective to guide researchers in choosing and customizing the right 4D representation for their tasks. Abstract We present a survey on 4D generation and reconstruction, a fast‐evolving subfield of computer graphics

The obsolescence of protected area categories in a polycrisis world
Abstract Current global conservation models face significant limitations in addressing the global polycrisis, and the constraints of the International Union for Conservation of Nature protected area (PA) classification system are part of the issue. The principles of the new conservation paradigm—governance, equity, and interculturality—are not viable ...
