The Best of Times at the Worst of Times: How Adults Respond to a Brief Intervention (RETURN) to Increase Planned Dental Visiting

open access: yesCommunity Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although acute health crises can disrupt routines and open a window for behaviour change, these teachable moments are rarely harnessed by intervention designs. The RETURN intervention (comprising a dental nurse‐led conversation, short peer videos and booklets supporting knowledge, skills and action‐planning) aimed to change planned dental ...

Evaluation of the Safety and Therapeutic Range of Nanosecond Laser Treatment in Rabbits

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Subthreshold, nanosecond laser therapy has potential as a treatment for age‐related macular degeneration; however, the therapeutic range and safety profile have not been fully documented. In this study, rabbits were used for a preclinical assessment of nanosecond laser treatment.

Adaptive Sampling for BRDF Acquisition

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We propose a data‐driven adaptive sampling strategy that predicts the optimal sampling pattern and count for BRDF acquisition from a single image, reducing capture time while preserving quality. Abstract The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) describes the ratio of incoming radiance to outgoing radiance for all possible pairs of ...

Real‐time by‐example texture synthesis and filtering using local statistics exchange

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Real‐time by‐example texture synthesis is used in interactive virtual worlds to generate the appearance of an unbounded surface from an exemplar texture with as few repetitions as possible. Currently, leading real‐time methods rely on a tiling and blending scheme which is known to synthesize well texture patterns with little spatial ...
