Skeletal‐Driven Animation of Anatomical Humans via Neural Deformation Gradients
Abstract Most real‐time animation techniques for digital humans are limited to deforming the outer skin surface. Geometric skinning methods are highly efficient but struggle with artifacts such as collapsing joints or self‐intersections when animating inner anatomy along with the outer skin.

Abstract We introduce mixed super‐circles, a position‐curvature formulation of the original dynamic 2D super‐helix model. Compared to the latter, purely curvature‐based model – the so‐called chained formulation –, the mixed formulation that we propose here drastically reduces the algorithmic complexity of the solving scheme – from quadratic to quasi ...

Parallel Vectors Extraction using Bézier Clipping
Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel local feature extraction algorithm for the parallel vectors (PV) operator. Our method is based on Bézier clipping, which is a bracketing‐based root finding method that is commonly‐used in computer‐aided geometric design.

We introduce the physically based neural BRDF, a novel continuous representation for material appearance based on neural fields. Our model accurately performs real‐world material reconstruction, generation and editing, while uniquely enhancing the physical accuracy of neural BRDFs via three key aspects: energy conservation, Helmholtz reciprocity and ...

Success and failure in England's patent system: New evidence from patent applications, 1783–1834
Abstract Our understanding of the relationship between the English patent system and technical change during the industrial revolution is based entirely on the study of successful patents. We address this feature by providing the first study of unsuccessful patent applications in England during the first industrial revolution.

Abstract Colored fiber posts facilitate clinical retrieval but could impact esthetics and bonding. This study evaluated the color stability and dentin bond strength of a novel colored fiber post designed to facilitate post‐removal. Sixty premolars had root canal therapy and post space preparation.

This study investigates the modularity of encapsulin—a protein nanoparticle—by simultaneously inserting up to four distinct Salmonella epitopes within the encapsulin subunit. The encapsulin variants were transiently expressed in plants where they assembled into nanoparticles; however, their accumulation and stability varied depending on the ...

Formula for Interpolated Newton Expansion (FINE):
This paper introduces the Formula for Interpolated Newton Expansion (FINE),an explicit closed-form representation for computing the n-th term of higher-orderarithmetic sequences, understood as sequences generated by polynomials. The FINEformula is obtained through an algebraic reorganization of the classical Newton–Gregory interpolation formula and is ...

The variable fractional-delay (FD) filter structure by Tassart and Depalle performs Lagrange interpolation in an efficient way. We point out that this structure directly corresponds to Newton's interpolation (backward difference) formula, hence we prefer to refer to it as the Newton FD filter.
