Hyperbolic String Field Theory by Firat, Atakan Hilmi

“…Our method suggests the existence of a hidden cubic structure within hyperbolic string field theory. We also take the WKB-like limit of our construction and demonstrate that it can be used to characterize Strebel quadratic differentials on Riemann surfaces. …”

Beyond the Bioclimatic Chart: An Automated Simulation-Based Method for Assessing Natural Ventilation and Passive Design Potential by Herb, Svenja

“…This innovation, however, has contributed to a homogenization in architectural designs globally, from the hot climates of Mumbai to the cold environments of Boston, and moderate settings like London. Such uniformity often overlooks local climatic conditions, resulting in increased energy consumption and elevated greenhouse gas emissions. …”

An image processing approach to feature-preserving B-spline surface fairing by Kawasaki, Taro, Jayaraman, Pradeep Kumar, Shida, Kentaro, Zheng, Jianmin, Maekawa, Takashi

“…This is inspired by the success of many recent research works on the use of normal field for reconstructing mesh models, and makes use of the impressive simplicity and effectiveness of bilateral-like filtering for image denoising. In particular, our approach adaptively partitions the B-spline surface into a set of segments such that each segment has approximately uniform parameterization, generates an image from each segment in the parameter space whose pixel values are the normal vectors of the surface, and then applies a bilateral filter in the parameter domain to fair the normal field. …”
