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.

Reflections on Traceability for Visualization Research

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Decades of advocacy for reproducibility and replication have advanced open, transparent practices in the sciences. However, traditional notions of reproducibility fit poorly with design‐oriented visualization research, where insights emerge through subjective, situated, and iterative work.

Caregivers' perspectives of support needs for adolescents with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder

Children &Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Research focused on fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is often deficit‐focused, limiting a holistic understanding of individuals' support needs. Families of adolescents with FASD also struggle to access appropriate services. Using semi‐structured interviews, the current study explored the perspectives of seven caregivers of adolescents ...

‘We Are Only Playing’: Reflections on the Pandemic's Effects on Immigrant Preschoolers' Mentalisation and Play During the Sand Play Workshops

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mentalisation and symbolisation are important processes to support children in understanding their lived experience. By expressing what is most salient to them through pretend play, children can normally develop their capacity to mentalise and symbolise, which helps them cope with adversity.

Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...
