Games and gamification projects in the Australian public sector
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract This article surveys the arrival of gameful government into Australian public sector practice. Gameful government is a shorthand, descriptive term denoting the interpenetration of (video)games, and design elements and thinking from them, into public sector work.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Economic anthropologists now carry out fieldwork in settings for which the ethnographic method was never designed, amongst powerful financial actors who are notoriously difficult to access, and in contexts which transcend geographical boundaries. This has engendered a re‐orientation of anthropology, to consider not only the economic lives of people but

The First World War at Sea: Death, Commemoration and Cultural Remembrance
History, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the ever‐increasing body of work devoted to war memorials, national days of remembrance and the commemoration of the First World War in Britain, academic focus remains firmly on the commemoration of the First World War on land. Yet, while the number of people who died at sea paled in comparison to their counterparts on the battlefield ...

Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT On‐orbit rendezvous and docking constitute one of the most technically challenging activities in the history of space activities. As space endeavours mature to crewed missions, space rendezous and docking technologies (RDT) emerge as an area of technological innovation critical to advances in future crewed space exploration.

Hierarchical Optimization of the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Energy
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract The As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy [SA07] has become a versatile ingredient in various geometry processing and machine learning methods. The classic method for its minimization is a block coordinate descent, alternating between local rotation estimation and a global linear solve, which converges slowly for large problem instances.

Closing Trajectories: Equation‐Free Cyclic Animation via Koopman Surrogates
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Cyclic animation is widely used in computer graphics and interactive content. It supports seamless playback in games, VR, and interactive simulation, where short clips must repeat smoothly over long durations. Converting an observed non‐cyclic trajectory into a seamless loop is challenging because the endpoint states of the observed sequence ...

The Equus Datum and the Early Radiation of Equus in China
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 To approach a comprehensive understanding of the Equus Datum, we summarize the history of the study of Chinese fossil equids, from the “dragon bones” stage to scientific investigation, by Chinese, European and American people, and then review the ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.In lignin peroxidase and versatile peroxidase, low FRET from buried Trp to heme promotes long‐range electron transfer (LRET) from substrate to heme. This efficient electron flow is facilitated by reduced FRET competition. This mechanism likely evolved to enable the effective degradation of bulky, high‐redox‐potential lignin that cannot reach the enzyme'
