11 p, 13.5 MB Nilut : conditional neural implicit 3d lookup tables for image enhancement / Conde, Marcos V. (University of Wurzburg. Computer Vision Lab) ; Vázquez i Corral, Javier (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Ciències de la Computació) ; Brown, Michael S. (York University) ; Timofte, Radu (University of Wurzburg. Computer Vision Lab)
3D lookup tables (3D LUTs) are a key component for image enhancement. Modern image signal processors (ISPs) have dedicated support for these as part of the camera rendering pipeline. Cameras typically provide multiple options for picture styles, where each style is usually obtained by applying a unique handcrafted 3D LUT. [...]

The global biodiversity loss resulting from anthropogenic land-use activities is a pressing concern, requiring precise assessments of impacts at large spatial extents. Existing models primarily focus on quantifying impacts on species richness and abundance, often overlooking the ecological relevance of species traits and their contributions to ecosystem functioning.

22 p, 682.3 KB Still standing for elections? Political externalities and the determinants of party entry decisions / Guinjoan, Marc (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Ciència Política i de Dret Públic)
According to the Duvergerian theories, only political parties expecting to achieve representation are predicted to stand for elections alone in the long run. However, the empirical evidence shows that throughout the world parties continue presenting candidacies when they are non-viable, thus calling into question Duverger. [...]

Phosphorus (P) is a vital macronutrient crucial for crop productivity. Plants absorb P salts, mainly orthophosphate, from soil, yet the primary P source resides in organic materials. Soil phosphomonoesterases (APases) play a vital role in releasing P from organics via hydrolysis. [...]
