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.

Using Machine Learning to Detect Vault (Anti-Forensic) Apps
Content hiding, or vault applications (apps), are designed with a secondary, often concealed purpose, such as encrypting and storing files. While these apps may serve legitimate functions, they unequivocally present significant challenges for law ...

The Liquidity Sprint: Short‐Term Cash Needs and Access to Credit
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We identify the causal drivers of the COVID‐19 ‘dash‐for‐cash’ in Europe using a hand‐collected panel of Euro‐area firms (2018‐Q4–2020‐Q3). Exploiting regional infection intensity as an instrument, we find that a one‐unit EBITDA decline raised credit‐line utilization by 15.5 percentage points in 2020‐Q2. Unlike the US ‘fallen‐angel’ narrative,

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers
Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...

Cash for Transactions or Store‐of‐Value? A Comparative Study on Scandinavian Countries and Canada
International Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We estimate the demand for transactional and non‐transactional cash balances (banknotes and coins) in Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Norway over the last decades exploiting the seasonality of cash demand. These countries share many features that are relevant for cash demand, but nevertheless show large differences in terms of aggregate ...

Revealing the elusive molecular biology of the vault RNA
, 2013 Recently several novel and previously reported non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been identified to be upregulated upon Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in human B-lymphocytes. A group of these significantly upregulated ncRNAs are called vault RNAs

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...
