Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.

Affinification: A Fine Approximation of Deformations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We introduce affinification, a novel method for accelerating physics‐based animation of elastic solids. During a time‐dependent simulation, our method automatically partitions the space into affine and elastic regions depending on the deformation.

Unique skin microbiome: insights to understanding bacterial symbionts in octopuses
Frontiers in Marine ScienceMicrobial communities play a crucial role in the physiology of animal hosts; however, little is known about bacterial symbionts with the group cephalopods, specifically octopuses, and the function of these symbionts.

Strictly Conservative Neural Distance Fields
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We propose a first method to generate neural unsigned or signed distance fields (SDFs) that are guaranteed to be conservative with respect to a given 3D shape. This means the true distance is never overestimated and the zero‐level set is a bounding volume for the shape. The method makes use of neural network architectures that ensure Lipschitz

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract A long‐standing challenge in phylogenomics has been the resolution of relationships originated from ancient radiations. In these cases, phenomena such as incomplete lineage sorting can increase the support for conflicting resolutions. Most of the diversity in the Class Bivalvia originated during an Ordovician radiation; indeed, several deep ...

Nonhuman Pedagogical Relations: Towards Conceptual Limits
Educational Theory, EarlyView.Abstract This article considers the pedagogical relation as a relation to a nonhuman educator, wherein the educatee is a member of the Homo sapiens species. My aim is to clarify the extent to which a nonhuman‐human relation can be understood as pedagogical.

Animal Teachers: Nonhuman Pedagogy and the Question of Deceit
Educational Theory, EarlyView.Abstract Animals as “teachers” of human children and adults is a recurring theme in children's literature, in anthropological accounts of “feral children,” as well as in contemporary practices of animal‐assisted pedagogy, philosophical research, wildlife documentaries, and popular culture.

Design of a Stereo-RUV for Remote Study of Octopod Behavior and Ecology [PDF]
, 2018 Remote underwater video recording techniques play an important role in the study of marine animals, certain natural behaviors of which may only be observed by remote instruments.

European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract Contested business practices are often difficult to evaluate because they send multiple, often conflicting signals about their appropriateness. Some cues may suggest that a practice is useful, legal, or widely accepted, whereas others may suggest that it is risky, harmful, or socially opposed.
