In this paper, we concentrate on the problem of finding the viewpoint that best satisfies a set of visual composition properties, often referred to as Virtual Camera or Viewpoint Composition. Previous approaches in the literature, which are based on general optimization solvers, are limited in their practical applicability because of unsuitable computation times and limited experimental analysis. To bring performances much closer to the needs of interactive applications, we introduce novel ways to define visual properties, evaluate their satisfaction, and initialize the search for optimal viewpoints, and test them in several problems under various time budgets, quantifying also, for the first time in the domain, the importance of tuning the parameters that control the behavior of the solving process. While our solver, as others in the literature, is based on Particle Swarm Optimization, our contributions could be applied to any stochastic search process that solves through many viewpoint evaluations, such as the genetic algorithms employed by other papers in the literature. The complete source code of our approach, together with the scenes and problems we have employed, can be downloaded from https://bitbucket.org/rranon/smart-viewpoint-computation-lib.

TiMn based multinary alloys make full use of the high abundance of rare earth resources in attractive applications of hydrogen storage but suffer from mediocre hydrogen ab/desorption kinetics and lack the in-depth mechanism analysis of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation behavior. Herein, on the basis of current research on compositional modulation, we utilize the low-cost powder metallurgy method to prepare TiZrMnCrV (x = -0.05, 0, 0.

Lubricating oil disposal is considered hazardous waste and has adverse effects on the environment and human health. It is crucial to implement tight measures to regulate and minimize these impacts, or explore opportunities for oil regeneration. The paper offers an extensive review of worldwide demand for lubricating oil and its market share, with a specific emphasis on the viewpoint of Bangladesh.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic alcohol-related myopathy (CAM) is a condition that results in muscle weakness and atrophy due to long-term excessive alcohol consumption.
- The mechanisms behind how alcohol causes muscle loss are not fully understood, but this article explores how changes in lipid profiles may play a significant role.
- The authors review existing studies on lipid changes in individuals with CAM and suggest that disrupted lipid regulation could be a key factor in the muscle wasting linked to alcohol use, proposing new directions for research and treatment.

Article Synopsis
- * The study utilizes CNF and polydopamine (PDA) to create self-assembled coatings on carbon fibers, mimicking the "straw and clay" architectural concept, resulting in superior surface characteristics.
- * After applying the self-assembly technique, carbon fibers showed a 13.44% increase in tensile strength and a 31.88% increase in interlaminar shear strength in epoxy resin composites, highlighting the potential for improved composite performance through innovative surface design.
Connecting the liquid fragility to the average weakest metal-oxygen bond of its crystal in oxides.

Glass and crystal are inherently different material states in terms of their structural and physical features; consequently, the direct quantitative connection between crystal and glass is lacking. Herein, we first show that the liquid fragility m, which is featured by the negative departure degree of viscosity with the temperature at the glass transition temperature (Tg), has a direct exponential correlation with the ratio of the average longest metal-oxygen and the average phosphorus, silicon, or boron-oxygen bond lengths of the crystal in various oxides including phosphates, silicates, and borates. Such a result can be rationalized by the fact that the fragility m in these glass-formers is associated with the total network rigidity determined by the weakest bond due to the "bucket effect" and the bond pair inheritance of glass from that of the crystal.
