Image‐Based Spatio‐Temporal Interpolation for Split Rendering

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Low‐powered devices – such as small form factor head‐mounted displays (HMDs) – struggle to deliver a smooth and high‐quality viewing experience, due to their limited power and rendering capabilities. Cloud rendering attempts to solve the quality issue, but leads to prohibitive latency and bandwidth requirements, hindering use with HMDs over ...

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

Innate Immune Activation Is a Strong Suppressor of CCL22 and Impedes Regulatory T Cell–Dendritic Cell Interaction

Immunology, EarlyView.
During homeostasis, CCL22 is secreted by dendritic cells (DC), which mediate contacts between regulatory T cells (Treg) and DC to maintain immune balance. Activation of innate immunity via microbes or pattern recognition receptor (PRR) agonists induces the secretion of several soluble factors (e.g., type I and II interferons, IL‐10), which mediate ...

Disc Mower Modifications to Reduce Suction Effects Do Not Decrease Insect Losses During Grassland Mowing

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among other anthropogenic factors, intensive agriculture, including frequent mowing, has largely contributed to the decline of the grassland fauna in Central Europe. Disc mowers, the predominant mowing technology, have long been suspected to cause high arthropod mortality mainly through suction generated by slanted blades.

Lost in translation? Injunctions and patent enforcement in a transatlantic perspective

The Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.
Abstract As the European Directive on the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRED) marked the twentieth anniversary of its adoption, renewed calls have emerged for its revision, aimed at fostering a more effective application of the principle of proportionality in patent enforcement.

The Role of torS and torT Transcription in Driving a Bet‐Hedging Strategy for Trimethylamine N‐Oxide Reductase Expression in Escherichia coli

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Low basal activity of divergent promoters driving transcription of the trimethylamine N‐oxide (TMAO) sensor TorT and kinase TorS is integral to an O2‐regulated bet‐hedging strategy for continued E. coli growth upon the onset of anaerobiosis. This, along with repression by IscR, promotes noise in the TorS to TorT ratio, which is critical for adaptation ...
