Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...

Progressive Convex Hull Simplification
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Convex hulls are useful as tight bounding proxies for a variety of tasks including collision detection, ray intersection, and distance computation. Unfortunately, the complexity of polyhedral convex hulls grows linearly with their input. We consider the problem of conservatively simplifying a convex hull to a specified number of half‐spaces ...

A practical algorithm for weighted k‐hulls
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract The convex hull is a central concept in computational geometry, geometry processing, and generally for summarizing sampled data. Its descriptive power suffers significantly in the presence of noise. The k‐hull, also known as the k‐depth contour in statistics, is the intersection of all half‐spaces that contain all but k data points, i.e. it is

CuRast: Cuda‐Based Software Rasterization for Billions of Triangles
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a CUDA‐based software rasterizer capable of rendering up to a billion unique triangles, or up to 4 billion instanced triangles, in real time at 60 fps on an RTX 5090. By specifically targeting dense, opaque meshes, our approach is able to outperform the native GPU rasterization pipeline in these scenarios.

Cognitive and institutional barriers to effective natural resource management under global change
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Many of the most challenging decisions facing natural resource managers today can be understood as time dependent. The concept of time‐dependent decisions is useful when considering natural resource management decisions that are characterized by nonstationarity in the underlying ecological system, uncertainty surrounding key ecological ...

Decision Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Using detailed timestamp data for patient visits and laboratory test orders from the emergency department (ED) of a large, urban, teaching hospital in the United States, we examine the operational effectiveness of the full capacity protocol (FCP), a set of temporary hospital‐wide guidelines that seek to alleviate crowding at the ED.

Banks and the economy: Evidence from the Irish bank strike of 1966
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This paper studies the macroeconomic impact of the Irish bank strike of 1966, which led to the closure of the major commercial banks for 3 months. We collect a variety of new evidence, such as high‐frequency macro data, economic forecasts, micro data and narrative sources.

In Defence of Oblique Intention
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Recent work on lying has revived an old action‐theoretic category: oblique, or indirect, intention. I argue that some liars intend deception obliquely. Sneddon objects that this category is drastic and unjustified: it counts all foreseen side‐effects as intended. My response is that oblique intention is not mere foresight.

Ethology, EarlyView.To examine how their behaviour and hormones change over different life phases, male guinea pigs experienced two different social environments from juvenility to adulthood. Only one environment contained social stimulation by unfamiliar conspecifics. Although no differences in testosterone and cortisol concentrations were found, it was interesting that ...
