Advancing Global Oral Health Research Through Community and Academic Partnerships: An Overview of the CORE Programme

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The increasing burden of oral diseases in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) and limited access to and affordability of oral care disproportionately impact disadvantaged groups. Oral health research has been dominated by professional academic perspectives with limited contribution from the communities involved. The aim of this

A Survey of Methods for Constructing 3D Urban Models From Point Clouds

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
The survey outlines a general process for constructing 3D models from point clouds and categorizes the methods based on their use of templates, basic surface primitives, hybrid approaches, or linear primitives. Additionally, the survey reviews the datasets and benchmarks that are essential for testing and training the developed methods.

Robo‐Saber: Generating and Simulating Virtual Reality Players

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present the first motion generation system for playtesting virtual reality (VR) games. Our player model generates VR headset and handheld controller movements from in‐game object arrangements, guided by style reference gameplay examples. We train on the large BOXRR‐23 dataset and apply our framework on the popular VR game Beat Saber.

Rethinking areas of endemism and barriers: perspectives for a causal historical biogeography and a critique of Schultz and Cracraft (2024)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Historical biogeography faces a persistent conceptual and methodological dilemma concerning the nature of its central analytical units. Using the recent proposal by Schultz and Cracraft (Cladistics 40, 653) as a catalyst, this article critiques the argument that causal inference necessitates the replacement of areas of endemism with barriers ...

SEMI-MARKOV DECISION PROCESSES WITH COUNTABLE STATE SPACE AND COMPACT ACTION SPACE

, 1978
We shall be concerned with the optimization problem of semi-Markov decision processes with countable state space and compact action space. Defined is the generalized reward function associated with the semi-Markov decision processes which include the ...

An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

Temporal Evolution of Contaminant Mass Discharge: Effect of Source Remediation at Contaminated Sites

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Contaminant mass discharge (CMD) is a key metric for evaluating remediation performance at contaminated sites posing a risk to groundwater. This study assesses temporal CMD trends and associated uncertainties using a geostatistical approach at a chlorinated solvent contaminated site following source zone remediation, supported by two decades ...
