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.

A more‐than‐human political ecology of Indonesian songbird trade
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Since its inception, conservation science has considered wildlife trade a problem. In focusing on conservation outcomes, conservationists almost completely ignore the welfare of traded animals and plants and the harms they endure. We developed a political ecology approach that incorporates the interconnectedness of people with animals and ...

An Exploration of the Inter‐Sectional Identity of Black Female Leaders in the UK: A Shotterian Study
Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the experience of Black female leaders in UK business and the narratives of their lived experience of marginalization. Drawing principally on the rather small UK‐focused literature on this topic as context, as well as some of the much larger international literature, methodologically we use the approach to qualitative ...

Ibis, EarlyView.Artificial breeding structures, such as nestboxes, can potentially influence the population size and conservation status of bird species relying on heavily human‐modified environments such as agroecosystems and urban areas. However, the effectiveness of these interventions may vary, as artificial structures could attract individuals to suboptimal ...

Italian Journal of Animal ScienceIn poultry, ovulation is governed by steroid hormones: follicular granulosa cells (GCs) secrete progesterone (P4), while theca cells (TCs) produce oestradiol (E2) and testosterone (T), which interact and transform, with characteristic surges pre ...

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over the last decades, the population of pet rabbits in Europe has increased significantly, but to date studies into feeding management of these species have been mainly conducted in production animals. This study aimed to evaluate the feeding practices of both pet rabbit owners and hobby breeders in Germany and how these may affect animal ...
