A Territorial Approach to Transitioning Oil and Gas Producing Regions: Comparative Practices and Prospects for Canada

open access: yesCanadian Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Oil and gas transitions are relatively new and especially difficult because the sector is large, economically central, and deeply embedded in national energy systems. Territorial approaches—grounded in regional political economies, institutions, and community impacts—offer a politically feasible way to begin meaningful oil and gas transitions ...

A Texture‐Free Multi‐Scale Model for Surface‐Based Rendering of Knitted Fabrics

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Knitted fabrics present unique challenges for realistic rendering due to their complicated structure and scale‐dependent appearance. Existing methods typically rely on explicit yarn geometry, which is computationally complex, or texture‐based representations that require heavy storage and precomputed maps. In this paper, we introduce the first

Authoring Terrestrial Planets with Diffusion Models

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract To support the design and subsequent generation of terrestrial planets for use in the creative media, we propose a solution that employs a generative model trained on satellite data from planetary bodies with a defined solid surface, such as the Earth and Mars.

Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres

open access: yesColoration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Wool fibres are complex matrices of proteins and fatty acids/lipids found both internally and externally. 18‐methyleicosanoic acid (18‐MEA) is covalently bound to the surface of the fibre via a thio‐ester link, and is considered one of the most important lipids as it is responsible for the hydrophobic properties of wool fibres.
