Medial Axis Aware Learning of Signed Distance Functions
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We propose a novel variational method to compute a highly accurate global signed distance function (SDF) to a given point cloud. To this end, the jump set of the gradient of the SDF, which coincides with the medial axis of the surface, is explicitly taken into account through a higher‐order variational formulation that enforces linear growth ...

On Bending in the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Deformation Energy
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract The well‐established As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy has various forms. For surface deformation, commonly used energies contain an implicit bending penalty. We present a natural, continuous generalization that incorporates multiple ARAP versions with an implicit, user‐controllable bending penalty.

Home Production and Gender Gap in Structural Change
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The gender gap in non‐agricultural employment in developing countries is concentrated among rural married workers. Within‐family specialization is central: Married women spend more time on home production, work fewer market hours, and are less likely to incur fixed costs of entering non‐agriculture.

Linking the Comparison and Graphical Approaches to Bipartite Matching
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Bipartite record linkage has the goal of identifying observations referring to the same individual, called coreferent observations, across two distinct non‐duplicated datasets. The two main approaches to solve this task are the Fellegi–Sunter model, which relies on pairwise comparisons of observations, and the graphical record linkage model ...

Separating the Costs and Benefits of Employee Turnover: A Theory‐Driven Method and Applications
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Employee turnover is costly, but it may also benefit performance through improving job‐worker match quality. Existing studies estimate only the net turnover‐performance relationship, ignoring benefits and biasing cost estimates. We develop a theory‐driven method that separately identifies operational costs and match‐quality benefits of ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Nutrient enrichment can alter the nutritional quality of the epilithic algal matrix (EAM) and modify the feeding environment of herbivorous and detritivorous reef fishes. However, wastewater inputs can also elevate ammonia concentrations, which may disrupt fish physiological processes, yet the effects of ammonia exposure on grazing activity ...

Precautionary Saving against Correlation under Risk and Ambiguitya
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract This paper considers precautionary saving against the correlation between two risky attributes (wealth and health) and investigates how the correlation affects optimal savings under multivariate preferences. The signs of higher‐order cross‐derivatives play a key role in determining the direction of precautionary saving against such correlation.
