International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Much of the current popular and academic literature on the provision of green spaces is dominated by the assumption that ‘nature’ is an unalloyed positive, and that socioeconomic and racial exclusion from access to green spaces is a problem of unequal spatial distribution rather than of the form and content of particular urban designs.

The Mysterious Stranger and Modern Enchantment
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sociological accounts of modernity have long emphasized rationalization, alienation, and the attenuation of affective intensity. While these diagnoses capture crucial dynamics of modern social order, they leave underexplored a persistent and generative dimension of social life: enchantment.

Journal of Analytical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract This paper explores what is happening, for a trainee, when an ethical boundary violation occurs by the analyst with a fellow peer in training. I am approaching this through the Jungian concept of the alchemical vas as I attempt to make meaning of a catastrophic collapse of the analytic work.

Cyclemaster Matrices and Primality Testing
, 2023 We define the $N \times N$ single variable cyclemaster matrix, and use its determinant to construct a necessary and sufficient test for $N$ to be prime.

When Enzymes Mislead: Assessing the Value of MRCP in Suspected Choledocholithiasis
ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The diagnosis of choledocholithiasis (CDL) requires balancing timely intervention against the risks of unnecessary invasive procedures. Although liver function tests (LFTs) are widely used for risk stratification, their static values and short‐term trends remain poorly defined in predicting persistent common bile duct stones.

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.

Dickson Pseudoprimes and Primality Testing [PDF]
, 2007 The paper gives a general definition for the concept of strong Dickson pseudoprimes which contains as special cases the Carmichael numbers and the strong Fibonacci pseudoprimes. Furthermore, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for two important classes of strong Dickson pseudoprimes and deduce some properties for their elements. A suggestion of

Volume Quantization with Flexible Singularities for Hexahedral Meshing
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a novel algorithm for quantization and subsequent hexahedral mesh generation from seamless volumetric maps. Quantization is the process of choosing integers that represent the numbers of hexahedral elements to be placed in each region of the volume, and transforming the seamless map into an integer‐grid map matching that choice ...

, 2006 Since the discovery of the utility of the numbers, the human being tried to differentiate them. We decide between them according to whether they are even or odd. Or, according to the fact that they are prime or composite. A natural number n >1 is called a prime number if it has no positive divisors other than 1 and n.

Contouring Signed Distance Fields by Approximating Gradients
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Signed distance fields are often represented by discrete samples (e.g., on a grid). Recovering the contour implicitly represented by the distance samples requires an approximation algorithm. Several recent approaches have shown that exploiting the information carried in each distance sample by explicitly constructing a surface point gives ...
