Potentially‐Preventable Deaths Following Colorectal Surgery: A National Retrospective Cohort Study of Surgical Mortality

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Many deaths after colorectal resection may be preventable, but administrative datasets provide limited insights into the clinical processes leading to mortality. We used the Australian and New Zealand Audit of Surgical Mortality (ANZASM) to quantify potentially preventable deaths after colorectal surgery and describe modifiable ...

From barriers to benefits: A personalized sleep intervention enhances sleep duration and emotional health in chronic short sleepers

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This pilot study evaluated a personalized sleep intervention incorporating motivational interviewing techniques to address sleep barriers, along with tailored sleep hygiene and extension for chronic short sleepers. Eleven university students completed a 14‐day sequential intervention (baseline, sleep hygiene and a combined phase adding 90‐min ...

Encoding Occupancy in Memory Location for Efficient and Compact High‐Resolution Voxel Structures

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We encode information about geometric structure into the pointers of a sparse voxel directed acyclic graph (SVDAG). Each pointer carries information about the structure of the node it points to. Our encoding improves ray tracing performance and reduces model size in memory.

Variable‐Rate Texture Compression: Real‐Time Rendering with JPEG

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Although variable‐rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real‐time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable‐rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the ...

Mesh Processing Non‐Meshes via Neural Displacement Fields

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Mesh processing pipelines are mature, but adapting them to newer non‐mesh surface representations—which enable fast rendering with compact file size—requires costly meshing or transmitting bulky meshes, negating their core benefits for streaming applications.

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.

Uncertainty‐Aware Visual Analysis of Force Networks in 2D Granular Materials

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Uncertainty in experimental measurements makes it challenging to determine which features are intrinsic to the phenomenon and which are most stable and reliable. Granular materials, such as sand, form a complex system in which the forces between individual particles influence the material's macroscopic behavior.
