Cross‐Sectional Study on Experience in Musical Instruments and Basic Surgical Skills Acquisition Among Final Year Medical Students

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This cross‐sectional study aims to evaluate the association between experience in musical instruments and surgical skills in medical students. Methods Online questionnaires were distributed to 243 final year students for their baseline demographic data and exposure to musical instrument training.

A quad‐cistronic fluorescent biosensor system for real‐time detection of subcellular Ca2+ signals

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a versatile cellular messenger regulating a variety of biological processes. Compounds modulating subcellular Ca2+ signals hold substantial pharmacological potential. Advances in fluorescent biosensors have revolutionised Ca2+ imaging.

A Cumulative and Strengths‐Based Approach to the Characteristics of Families With Complex and Multiple Problems: A Case File Study

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on families experiencing complex and multiple problems (FECMP) has been dominated by a problem‐centred perspective and a focus on individual (i.e., single) risk factors. This case file study extends previous work by mapping (1) the nature and prevalence of individual problems and protective factors, (2) their accumulation and (3 ...

DiskScissors: Cutting Arbitrary‐Topology Solids for Bijective Mapping

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract An algorithm for cutting solid objects in a topology‐controlled manner is presented. Concretely, given a loop on the object boundary, a disk‐topology cut surface bounded by the loop is constructed in the interior. In contrast to various previous approaches, both disk topology and conformance to the prescribed loop are ensured by construction ...

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.

Single Line Drawing Generation via Semantics‐Driven Optimization

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present a method for automatically generating single‐line drawings in vector format, guided by a text prompt or an input image. Our approach leverages score distillation sampling to optimize the parameters of a uniform rational B‐spline (URBS) curve, ensuring that the drawing consists of a single continuous stroke by design.

Textile and colour defect detection using deep learning methods

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances in deep learning (DL) have significantly enhanced the detection of textile and colour defects. This review focuses specifically on the application of DL‐based methods for defect detection in textile and coloration processes, with an emphasis on object detection and related computer vision (CV) tasks.

CKAP4 Regulates ERS‐Induced Apoptosis in Osteoclasts Through FOXO3 in Periodontitis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
CKAP4 promotes the transcription of PERK via FOXO3 in OCs, thereby facilitating ER stress‐induced apoptosis. In periodontitis, the reduction of CKAP4 in OCs leads to decreased OC apoptosis, which exacerbates alveolar bone resorption. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is a prevalent oral disease characterised by chronic inflammation and irreversible alveolar bone ...
