Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rise of independent oversight of the accounting profession has attracted considerable research attention. Much of this research has studied how professional accounting bodies and the Big 4 firms have shaped the mandate and capabilities of independent oversight bodies.

Rational acquisition of laboratory equipment: an accurate mathematical model to estimate the trade-offs in shared and nonshared equipment. [PDF]
Acta Crystallogr D Struct BiolWe present a quantitative framework combining cost modelling and queueing theory to estimate hourly access costs, waiting times and congestion levels for shared high‐end scientific equipment. The approach is general, illustrated with cryo‐electron microscopy examples, and implemented in an open‐access online calculator to support evidence‐based ...

Out There No One Has a Right to Die
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...

NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.

Statistical Analysis of a Telephone Call Center: A Queueing-Science Perspective [PDF]
A call center is a service network in which agents provide telephone-based services. Customers that seek these services are delayed in tele-queues. This paper summarizes an analysis of a unique record of call center operations.

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Graph drawing aesthetics have traditionally been optimized for human readers, leading to well‐established principles such as reducing edge crossings, enhancing symmetry, and minimizing bends. These criteria shape layout algorithms and define what “readability” means in network visualization.

Geometry‐Aware Alignment and Comparison of Hierarchical Morse Complexes with Applications
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Scalar fields derived from 3D X‐ray CT scans of samples undergoing ex situ processes, such as thermal aging, chemical etching, or mechanical stress, pose unique challenges for characterizing similarities and differences across acquisitions. Typically, a sample A (source) is imaged, removed, and subjected to experimental conditions that alter ...

A tight bound on the throughput of queueing networks with blocking [PDF]
In this paper, we present a bounding methodology that allows to compute a tight lower bound on the cycle time of fork--join queueing networks with blocking and with general service time distributions. The methodology relies on two ideas.
