Hidden in the Glaze: Cobalt Blue Decorations of Catalan Tin‐Glazed Ceramics From the 16th to 18th Centuries

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates technological evolution in 16th–18th century Catalan tin glazes and cobalt blue decorations. Analysis reveals three glaze strategies, highlighting shifts in tin oxide use and cobalt pigment composition. In the 16th century, tin oxide acted as an opacifier and cobalt pigments exhibit low arsenic content with CoO/NiO and ...

Real‐Time Conformal Maps and Parameterizations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a simple algorithm to conformally map between two simple and bounded planar domains based on the concept of harmonic measure, which is a conformal invariant. With suitable preprocessing, the algorithm is fast enough to compute all possible conformal maps (having three real degrees of freedom) between the two domains in real time in

Incorporation of Carob Into a High‐Fat Meal Influences Subjective Satiety, Ghrelin and PYY Regulation

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dietary components that influence appetite‐related hormones and subjective satiety may help regulate food intake. Aqueous carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) preparations may have a role in postprandial appetite regulation. Aims To investigate the effects of an aqueous carob preparation incorporated into a high‐fat meal on postprandial ...

Understanding Online Meaning‐Making: Normativity, Polycentricity, and Memetic Communication Through a Chronotopic‐Scalar Lens

Journal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates memetic interaction as an illustrative example of complex polycentric online communication. Using a chronotopic‐scalar framework, it offers a theorized account of how online (inter)action works, how it is guided by (perceptions of) normativities, and how it is in dialogue with the “offline.” Specifically, I focus on ...

Evaluating the In Vitro Digestibility of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Larvae as Potential Feed Ingredient in Dairy Cattle Silage‐Based Diets: A Focus on Proteins

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dietary protein has a substantial economic impact on cattle feed, and it is also a critical component for animal growth and productivity. Several environmental issues related to soybeans have led to an increased interest in novel protein sources, such as insects.
