LeafFit: Plant Assets Creation from 3D Gaussian Splatting

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose LeafFit, a pipeline that converts 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) of individual plants into editable, instanced mesh assets. While 3DGS faithfully captures complex foliage, its high memory footprint and lack of mesh topology make it incompatible with traditional game production workflows. We address this by leveraging the repetition of

Catch Me If You Can: The Dynamic Nature of Bias in Machine Learning Applications

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bias in machine learning (ML) applications represents systematic differences between expected and actual values of the predicted outputs, such that certain individuals or groups are systematically and disproportionately (dis)advantaged. This paper investigates the dynamic nature of bias in ML applications.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Do the biological characteristics of trout (Salmo trutta) smolts influence their spring migration timing and maiden marine sojourn duration?

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anadromous salmonids migrate seaward to exploit feeding and growth opportunities in marine habitats, yet how smolt biological characteristics influence their marine migratory behavior remains poorly understood. This study used 9 years of trout (Salmo trutta) population monitoring data from 15,595 tagged age‐0+ parr, 1033 smolts detected ...

Historical case study of a transfer experiment that demonstrated the importance of the estuarine ecosystem for the survival of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) at the Campbell River estuary, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Estuary dependence to the survival of Chinook salmon was investigated at the Campbell River estuary, British Columbia, Canada. Replicate batches of marked smolts were transferred from a hatchery and released in 1983, 1984 and 1985 at four ecosystems, two that ensured estuarine experience (river, estuary) and two seawards of the estuary ...

Impact of the invasive diatom species Cymbella janischii on riverine microbial biofilm communities and a potential role of bacterially produced zeatin

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The diatom Cymbella janischii is an invasive species in Japan, causing nuisance blooms by forming thick mats in rivers. To date, there are no documented studies on the microbiome associations in C. janischii mats or the processes that drive bloom formation.

Obesity and the Politics of Taddeo di Bartolo's Inferno

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines Taddeo di Bartolo's depiction of Hell in the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta, the mother church of San Gimignano. In a striking departure from similar scenes of the period, the fresco, painted in the early fifteenth century, emphasizes the obesity of the sinners—suggesting a deliberate visual critique.

Subaltern Strategies and Agency: How South Asian American Youth Rework the Model Minority Stereotype

Anthropology &Education Quarterly, Volume 57, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how South Asian American youth, as epistemically marginalized or “subaltern” actors, navigate racialized school experiences. It focuses on how South Asian American boys employ the model minority stereotype through finessing, a strategy of agency that counters exclusionary labels like perpetual foreigner and nerd while ...

Study on Preferred Memory Color Based on Printed Images

Color Research &Application, Volume 51, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
This graphical image illustrates the relationship between color‐shift directions in the a*b*$$ {a}^{\ast }{b}^{\ast } $$ plane and CMYK ink adjustments. Through a systematic comparison of different ink adjustment methods and preference evaluation experiments conducted using eight representative memory colors images, this study proposed a practical ink ...

Proximity to bait and social interactions influence individual wild pig (Sus scrofa) visitation at bait sites

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Individual wild pig bait site visitation and time to initial detection is primarily influenced by space use (i.e., proximity to bait) and whether wild pigs from other social groups visited before. Specifically, females are less likely to visit a bait site if an adult male visits a site before them.
