Phong‐Rodrigues Extrinsic Vector‐Field Processing

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce a new extrinsic discretization of tangent vector fields on triangle meshes that is continuous, with bounded derivatives that are continuous almost everywhere, supporting pointwise evaluation and integration of differential operators.

SharpEdge: Edge Feature Surface Reconstruction From Space Curves

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
SharpEdge reconstructs surfaces with sharp features from sparse 3D curve networks. By estimating dual normals along curves, our method preserves ridges and corners while producing high‐quality meshes. Abstract Reconstructing high‐quality surfaces from sparse 3D space curves remains challenging, particularly when sharp feature edges are involved ...

Morphology‐based phylogeny of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) aligns with phylogenomics and informs higher‐level systematics

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a morphology‐based backbone phylogeny of Cerambycidae beetles inferred by parsimony analyses using 77 adult characters scored for 101 species. This phylogeny is largely consistent with recent phylogenomic studies regarding key placements (e.g., Parandrini stat. rev. within Prioninae, Necydalini stat. rev.

Comparison of computed tomographic, radiographic and anatomical dorsal hoof wall measurements

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background No comparison of radiographic and computed tomographic (CT) dorsal hoof wall (DHW) thickness and DHW to the palmar length of the distal phalanx (DHWDP) ratio has been published. Radiographic measurements obtained with and without radiodense markers on the DHW have not been compared.

Continued population recovery and high annual survival rates of White‐rumped Vultures in Nepal

Ibis, EarlyView.
Populations of Gyps vultures in South Asia underwent catastrophic declines caused by unintentional poisoning by the veterinary drug diclofenac. Since the drug was banned in 2006–2010, declines have halted across the region, including in Nepal. The present study updates population trends of G.

A description of dental microanatomy and implantation geometry in Chamaeleonidae

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A reassessment of the dental histology in adult chamaeleons reveals the presence of periodontal ligament. Alongside alveolar bone and cementum, these tissues together constitute a compacted and remodelled tripartite periodontium. Our findings include the novel observation of plicidentine‐like protuberances of dentine within underlying bone.

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Proof of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem for Chords Using Symmetry and Rotational Invariance

This paper presents an original, fully rigorous proof of the classical theorem stating that the line segment from the center of a circle to the midpoint of any chord is perpendicular to that chord. Developed by the author at age 11, this approach utilizes reflective symmetry and rotational invariance to provide a purely visual-geometric alternative to ...

Impact of monomer contamination of isopropanol during post‐rinsing on the accuracy of dental models fabricated by vat photopolymerization

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of an increasing level of monomer contamination of isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol [IPA]) during post‐rinsing on the dimensional stability of test samples produced by vat photopolymerization.
