Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

UrbanClipAtlas: A Visual Analytics Framework for Event and Scene Retrieval in Urban Videos

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Extracting actionable insights from long‐duration urban videos is often labor‐intensive: analysts must manually sift through raw footage to pinpoint target events or uncover broader behavioral trends. In this work, we present UrbanClipAtlas, a visual analytics system for exploring long urban videos recorded at street intersections ...

Comparative evaluation of reactive dye structures on colour strength enhancement in caustic‐treated regenerated bamboo fabrics

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Regenerated bamboo fibres offer a sustainable alternative to conventional cellulosic materials; however, achieving high and reproducible colour strength with reactive dyes may depend on both fibre accessibility and dye molecular architecture.

Influence of scour depth and flow velocity field on large-diameter pier group pile foundations

Frontiers in Marine Science
Sea-crossing bridges face critical challenges due to scour, which can destabilize foundations. This study investigates the scour characteristics of the large-diameter main pier of the Haiwen Bridge, with a pile diameter of 4.3 meters. Seabed changes were

Short‐term welfare assessment of a single ultrasound‐guided adipose tissue aspiration in standing sedated horses

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Adipose tissue‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT‐MSCs) are entering the market of orthobiologics suitable for managing musculoskeletal disorders in horses, due to their accessibility and reparative capacity. Ethical considerations in developing allogeneic products require a low‐morbidity approach to tissue harvest.

A Modified Gear Removal Index (GRI) Method to Support the Management of Abandoned Fishing Gear on Coralligenous Reefs

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Abandoned, Lost or otherwise Discarded Fishing Gears (ALDFG) have significant negative effects on marine ecosystems. In the Mediterranean Sea, the impact of ALDFG is particularly relevant on coralligenous reefs. The management of ALDFG focuses primarily on their removal, however this type of intervention may potentially damage the habitat, so ...

Experimental investigation of pier scour depth and its scour hole pattern for different shapes

Journal of Infrastructure Policy and Development
Local scour, a complex phenomenon in river flows around piers with movable beds, can damage bridge piers during high floods. Predicting scour depth accurately is vital for safety and economic reasons, especially for large bridges. This study using hydraulic flume laboratory experiments compared diamond, square, and elliptical pier models of different ...

Behavioural Determinants of Post‐Brushing Dental Plaque Levels: A Video‐Based Analysis

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Toothbrushing remains the most widely practiced method for dental plaque removal. However, evidence‐based guidance on optimal brushing method, duration, toothbrush bristle wear, and dentifrice quantity is still insufficient. This study aimed to identify behavioural factors associated with post‐brushing dental plaque levels using ...

Prevention and Management of Tooth Discolouration of Endodontic Origin (DEO): A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Tooth discolouration of endodontic origin (DEO) refers to an undesirable change in tooth colour arising from the pulp space as a result of reactive physiological processes, pathological processes or endodontic procedures and materials. As DEO frequently affects teeth in the aesthetic zone, it may substantially impair self‐esteem and
