Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation
Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.

Variational Reasoning for Question Answering with Knowledge Graph
Knowledge graph (KG) is known to be helpful for the task of question answering (QA), since it provides well-structured relational information between entities, and allows one to further infer indirect facts. However, it is challenging to build QA systems

Layer3D: A 3D Layered Representation for Multiview Vector Graphics
Abstract We present Layer3D, a novel 3D neural representation that models objects as collections of decomposable neural implicit primitives. These primitives enable the generation of layered images with consistent correspondences across viewpoints, establishing a flexible framework for multiview vector graphics decomposition.

Edge‐preserving noise for diffusion models
Abstract Classical diffusion models typically rely on isotropic Gaussian noise, treating all regions uniformly and overlooking structural information important for high‐quality generation. We introduce an edge‐preserving diffusion process that generalizes isotropic models via a hybrid noise scheme with an edge‐aware scheduler that smoothly transitions ...

CANRIG: Cross‐Attention Neural Face Rigging with Variable Local Control
Abstract Facial animation is one of the most labor‐intensive aspects of animation and VFX, as traditional rigging consumes weeks of expert time and forces animators to spend countless hours manipulating hundreds of controls to achieve varied expressions.

‘We Teach Kids About It So They Don't Get Addicted’: Gender, Porn and Sex Education in New Zealand
ABSTRACT This research sought to explore young people's and teachers' understandings of porn. Drawing on a qualitative content analysis of small focus group interview data with 106 young people aged 12–16 years old and semi‐structured interviews with six teachers in Aotearoa, New Zealand, I examine their perceptions of porn and the place of porn in sex

The Last Course Revisited: Reflections on Policy, Praxis, and Protest
ABSTRACT This article is a personal reflection on how SAFN addressed my academic identity crisis in the late 70s. The development of the anthropology of food and nutrition provided opportunities to refashion disciplinary praxis and to link the little and the large in interesting ways.

What are particularistic pejoratives?
Particularistic pejoratives (PPs) mock individuals based on their personal attributes yet lack a precise definition. This paper seeks to refine our understanding of PPs by examining their derogatory profiles across three dimensions: descriptiveness, intensity, and slurring potential.

Our study showed that, in healthy controls, acute administration of linaclotide increased the total number of long‐distance propagating and the pre‐prandial pancolonic pressurizations. Further studies need to address whether the observed effects are directly or indirectly mediated by the mechanism of action of this useful medication to treat chronic ...
