Five Common Misconceptions about Bias in Light Transport Simulation

Monte Carlo integration has been a common approach for light transport simulation over many years. This widespread usage, however, seems to come with certain misconceptions regarding the behavior of error in Monte Carlo algorithms. In particular, unbiased Monte Carlo integration has been blindly (and often implicitly) considered as a holy grail of accurate light transport simulation by some peo...

Common Errors in Student

Quotes When you write a paper related to literature, history, current events, and many other fields, direct quotes are essential to fully discuss the subject. In science, there is very rarely any call for a direct quote. On student papers, there is no reason at all to include direct quotes, except in the case when the student doesn't understand the concept and uses the quote to avoid having to ...

No matter what you call them, cumulative trauma disorders, repetitive motion injuries or musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), softtissue injuries continue to be a major cause of loss in today’s workplace. In 1713, Ramazzini (trans. 1964) made one of the first published mentions of these types of injuries as “diseases of those who do fine work.” In 1917, Hamilton (1943) described a disorder called ...

There are approximately 1,300 formally described species in 160 genera [1], but this certainly represents a tiny fraction of the real diversity because most potential host lineages have been poorly surveyed. Nearly all microsporidia are known to infect animals, and some are responsible for a number of human diseas...
