Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Hierarchical Differentiable Fluid Simulation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce a two‐step algorithm that significantly reduces memory usage for solving control problems using differentiable fluid simulation techniques: our method first optimizes for bulk forces at reduced resolution, then refines local details over sub‐domains while maintaining differentiability. In trading runtime for memory, it enables optimization

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.

The Effects of Nutrient Additions on Kokanee in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigated the effects of whole reservoir nitrogen (N) addition on kokanee growth in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho. We hypothesized that N addition would improve the growth of kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) at a given level of abundance by increasing the availability of Daphnia, an important food source.

Simulating the Impacts of Deep Geothermal Development on Shallow Hydrothermal Resources in a Rocky Mountain Rift Valley

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Numerical modeling has been widely used to assess the feasibility of geothermal energy development at sites across the world, but modeling applications simulating the potential impacts on shallow hydrothermal resources and surface water are relatively scarce. In this study, we apply the MODFLOW 6 groundwater energy (GWE) code to simulate fully

When in Doubt, Tax More Progressively? Uncertainty and Progressive Income Taxation

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.

Artificial Intelligence for Language Learning: A Systematic Review of its Design, Theoretical Foundations, Implementation, and Impact

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the use of AI technologies (e.g., chatbots and automated writing evaluations (AWE)) has gained considerable attention in language learning fields in recent years, how AI technologies have been designed and implemented in language learning education, as well as their effectiveness, is understudied.

Inter‐disciplinary perspectives on sustainability in machinery manufacturing

International Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Perspectives on economic, social and environmental sustainability in machinery manufacturing are changing. These are predominantly driven by increased consumer, firm and public knowledge on the importance of sustainability and the role that machinery manufacturers can play to achieve sustainability outcomes.

An Attachment and Multi‐Target Perspective on Organisational Commitment of Early Career Starters

International Journal of Training and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing strong organisational commitment among early career starters such as apprentices, trainees, and dual‐study students is of central interest to companies' HR strategies for developing and retaining skilled workforces. To explain how commitment emerges, attachment theory offers a useful conceptual lens, as it provides an established ...

Specification Tests for Jump‐Diffusion Models Based on the Characteristic Function

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Goodness‐of‐fit tests are suggested for several popular jump‐diffusion processes. The suggested test statistics utilise the marginal characteristic function of the model and its L2‐type discrepancy from an empirical counterpart. Model parameters are estimated either by minimising the aforementioned L2‐type discrepancy or by maximum likelihood ...
