description: As the push for Open Access (OA) gains momentum, libraries play a pivotal role in facilitating equitable access to scholarly research. The University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) Libraries, supports OA through a number of tools and initiatives including transformative agreements, publishing grants, an institutional repository, and advocacy. As a liaison librarian, it is my job to promote OA resources, to the departments I serve. This poster explores the multifaceted approach I’ve developed to do this. Adapting outreach methods to resonate with each specific department is crucial. Educating faculty on the basics of OA, addressing individual misconceptions, and collaborating with the Open Scholarship department are foundational steps. Engaging faculty through tailored seminars and personalized consultations amplifies the impact of OA initiatives. Moreover, customizing tools for specific departments and offering ongoing support through reference services enhance accessibility. Despite time constraints, faculty exhibit genuine interest in OA, emphasizing the significance of tailored engagement strategies. By meeting faculty where they are and fostering discussions within their cohorts, liaison librarians can effectively champion the principles of OA and advance scholarly communication practices.

description: Chrysanthemum × morifolium Ramat 1792 cultivar ‘Hangbaiju’, also known as ‘Hangzhou White Chrysanthemum’, originates from Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, China. It is celebrated as one of Zhejiang’s ‘eight flavors’. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of Chrysanthemum × morifolium cultivar ‘Hangbaiju’. The genome has a circular structure of 151,110 bp containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 82,851 bp, a small copy region (SSC) of 18,351 bp, and two inverted repeats (IR) of 24,936 and 24,972 bp in length. It comprises 128 genes: 85 protein-coding gene, 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 35 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis, based on complete chloroplast genomes, demonstrates that Chrysanthemum × morifolium ‘Hangbaiju’ shares a close genetic cluster with Chrysanthemum × morifolium ‘Fubaiju’ (MT1919691.1). Notably, ‘Fubaiju’ was introduced to Macheng, Hubei Province from Tongxiang in 1968 according to public information. The chloroplast genome data, coupled with morphological and historical records, strongly suggest that they are the same variety known by different names based on their cultivation locations.

description: Hemiboea pterocaulis is a unique species only found in Guilin, Guangxi, China. In this study, we sequenced and assembled the complete chloroplast genome of H. pterocaulis and revealed its phylogenetic relationship with other Hemiboea species. The chloroplast genome sequence of H. pterocaulis is 153,159 bp in length and comprises a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,178 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,087 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions, each with a length of 25,447 bp. It has a total GC content of 37.6% and encodes 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic relationships based on the complete chloroplast genome sequences of Hemiboea taxa indicate that H. pterocaulis is most closely related to H. suiyangensis, indicating that H. pterocaulis is an independent species and is separated from the H. subcapitata complex. These results provide valuable insights into the phylogeny, species divergence, and delimitation of the Hemiboea genus.

Year: 2024

description: El artículo analiza cómo influyen las creencias de género en el riesgo de que las mujeres vivan violencia en sus relaciones de pareja. La investigación se compuso de tres fases, en la primera se construyó un instrumento de entrevista, en la segunda se aplicó la entrevista a los dos estudios de caso, y al final, se analizaron los datos. El tipo de investigación elegido fue de tipo mixta, con alcance descriptivo y correlacional. A partir de los datos obtenidos, se encontró que, a partir de la normalización de la violencia, las participantes no tienen plena conciencia de ella y en muchas ocasiones, ni de sus efectos, que el entorno social no necesariamente determina una diferencia en las mujeres que viven este tipo de violencia y entre las que no, que la vulnerabilidad a la violencia de pareja no necesariamente está relacionada con experiencias vividas en su familia de origen y que las creencias de género aprendidas por las mujeres si juegan un papel importante en la toma de decisiones acerca de su relación de pareja.

De esa manera, esas instituciones públicas incursionan en las luchas de las esferas del poder económico y político, espacios donde a su vez, se intentará moldear o influir en sus estructuras, alterar sus agendas y patrones sociales y culturales y afirmar objetivos e ideologías que coadyuven la validez y cultura del éxito propuesta por los modelos capitalistas de desarrollo existentes, arbitrados por grupos de poder que hegemonizan el proyecto de desarrollo en vigor. la universidad latinoamericana ha sido un bastión de luchas y de prácticas político sociales en torno a la implantación de modelos capitalistas de desarrollo. De sus recintos han salido propuestas de cohesión e igualdad social presentes y futuras en la sociedad. Para ahondar en esa temática, introducimos los estudios teóricos más conocidos en particular aquellos que apuntan a ubicar a la educación superior como panacea de combate a la pobreza y donde la inversión en educación se traduce inadvertidamente en cualquier mejora en la sociedad.

description: Therapeutics Letter 38 discusses the prevention and treatment of influenza A and B. Conclusions: Prevention: Vaccination in cohort studies lowered rates of hospitalization, serious morbidity and mortality in patients over 60. Amantadine is a second-line preventive agent. Treatment: Antiviral treatment at the onset of symptoms shows that amantadine reduces fever by one day and oseltamivir and zanamivir reduce duration of flu symptoms by 0.8 – 0.9 day. RCTs are needed to determine whether any prevention or treatment of influenza reduces complications leading to hospitalization or mortality.

description: Hericium erinaceus (Bull.:Fr.) Pers., 1797, is an edible and medicinal fungus found in China. In this study, specimens of H. erinaceus HE0021 were collected from southeastern China (Yunhe County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, 28°7′12″N, 119°34′12″E). The whole mitochondrial genome of H. erinaceus HE0021 was sequenced using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, which comprised 15 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 27 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNAs, with a total length of 83,518 base pairs (bp). The results of the phylogenetic analysis show that H. erinaceus and H. coralloides were clustered in the same clade. The complete mitogenome sequence provides essential data for the subsequent investigation of Hericium and Russulales.

title: Instructors' Decisions to Continue to Use Blended Learning in their Courses in Higher Education Institutions
title: A Mixed Methods Study in the United Arab Emirates

Creators: name: Mohamed, Dina
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: Blended learning (BL) has been recently adopted within Higher Education

 Institutions (HEIs) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in hopes of
 providing a better learning environment and reaping the benefits of BL.
 However, there is insufficient research which presents the critical
 factors which impact the effectiveness of BL courses within varying
 cultural contexts. There is also little research which presents
 instructors’ BL continuity decisions and portrays which critical factors
 impact those decisions.

 Thus, the aim of this study is to gain an in-depth comprehension of
 instructors’ decisions to continue using BL as a teaching modality in HEIs
 in the UAE and identify the principal critical factors which they perceive
 to impact their continuity decisions. To accomplish such, a mixed method,
 qualitative dominant, sequential research design had been employed to
 collect the needed data. A questionnaire had first been responded by 319
 instructors and a follow-up interview was conducted with 21 instructors.

 The findings of this research study show that a majority of instructors in
 the UAE intend to continue to teach their BL courses, yet, several
 conditions, for example adopting different blend types and changing the
 overall course structure, would need to be addressed by senior managers to
 further improve their willingness to continually teach BL courses in the
 future. The findings also present the most perceived influential critical
 factors which impact instructors’ continuity decisions, such as Instructor
 Control and Service Quality, and a further

 cultural factor, Learner Engagement, was identified, which is rooted from
 the nature of the students who study at HEIs in the UAE.

 This research study provides several academic contributions to BL
 literature

 predominantly surrounding continuous intention to use (CIU) research and
 critical factors of BL. This study’s contributions include identifying
 cultural challenges, focusing on decision making as a whole, uncovering
 the reasons behind instructors’ decisions, identifying continuity critical
 factors and showcasing its relationship on instructors’ CIU decisions,
 discovering a cultural continuity critical factor, and presenting the
 components needed to

 achieve BL continuity within HEIs in the UAE

description: Tools to selectively and reversibly control gene expression are useful to study and model cellular functions. When optimized, these cellular
switches can turn a protein’s function “on” and “off” based on cues designated by the researcher. These cues include small molecules, drugs,
hormones, and even temperature variations. Here we review three distinct areas in gene expression that are commonly targeted when designing
cellular switches. Transcriptional switches target gene expression at the level of mRNA polymerization, with examples including the tetracycline
gene induction system as well as nuclear receptors. Translational switches target the process of turning the mRNA signal into protein, with examples
including riboswitches and RNA interference. Post-translational switches control how proteins interact with one another to attenuate or
relay signals. Examples of post-translational modification include dimerization and intein splicing. In general, the delay times between switch
and effect decreases from transcription to translation to post-translation; furthermore, the fastest switches may offer the most elegant opportunities
to influence and study cell behavior. We discuss the pros and cons of these strategies, which directly influence their usefulness to study and
implement drug targeting at the tissue and cellular level.

description: During September 7--11, 2000, CDC was notified by the Idaho Department of Health, the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, and the GeoSentinel Global Surveillance Network of at least 20 cases of acute febrile illness in three countries; all ill patients had participated in the Eco-Challenge-Sabah 2000 multisport expedition race in Borneo, Malaysia, during August 21--September 3, 2000 (1). Participants included athletes from 29 U.S. states and 26 countries. This report updates the ongoing investigation of this outbreak through December 2, which suggests that Leptospira were the cause of illness and that water from the Segama River was the primary source of infection. Participants in adventure sports and exotic tourism should be aware of potential exposure to unusual and emerging infectious agents.

description: School is an ideal setting for proposing interventions aimed at increasing levels of physical activity. A systematic literature review was performed to underline the relationship between active breaks and physical, cognitive and psychological variables of primary school children. Fifteen works were selected and included in the review. The results show an increase in MVPA physical activity levels in 53% of the studies. There are limited evidences about cardiorespiratory fitness improvement, and BMI management. Some studies show an improvement in cognitive and attention factors. Active breaks represent an important opportunity to increase PAL (physical activity levels). Future researches on a rational application and proposal of active pauses are needed. Interventi di educazione alla salute nella scuola primaria: le pause attive per la promozione dell’attività motoria La scuola costituisce un setting ideale per la proposta di interventi finalizzati all’aumento dei livelli di attività fisica. È stata eseguita una revisione sistematica della letteratura per analizzare la relazione tra pause attive e variabili fisiche, cognitive e psicologiche dei bambini della scuola primaria. Quindici lavori sono stati selezionati, analizzati ed inseriti nella revisione. I risultati evidenziano un aumento dei livelli di attività fisica MVPA (53% degli studi), un miglioramento della capacità cardiorespiratoria e della gestione del BMI. Alcuni studi evidenziano un miglioramento dell’impegno cognitivo e fattori attentivi. Brevi pause di attività motoria rappresentano un’importante opportunità per aumentare i livelli di attività fisica (LAF) in contesto scolastico. La ricerca futura per una razionale proposta ed applicazione delle pause attive sembrerebbe essere giustificata alla luce di queste, seppur limitate, evidenze.

description: The research, oriented by the pedagogical approach of the Student Voice, aims to explore the state of the art of the didactic inclusion of students with specific learning disorder in the universities of Bologna and Modena-Reggio Emilia. Students’ perceptions about the practices useful to promote access and participation in academic life are reported and discussed. With the promulgation of some laws in support of inclusion issue and thanks to the spread of many frameworks for the design of accessible teaching resources – together with the rapid spread of digital technologies – university practices and policies are being redefined in various ways to guarantee, to the more fragile students, a fair participation in the learning environments.

Vengono riportate e discusse le percezioni in merito alle pratiche attuate per promuovere l’accesso e la partecipazione alla vita accademica di tali studenti. Con la promulgazione di molte leggi a sostegno dell’inclusione e grazie alla diffusione di molti framework per la progettazione di risorse didattiche accessibili – unitamente alla diffusione delle tecnologie digitali – si stanno ridefinendo le pratiche e le politiche universitarie per garantire agli studenti un’equa partecipazione agli ambienti di apprendimento. È in questo complesso scenario che si colloca il presente contributo.

The QMSA: how students’ self-assessment can be a resource to learn and redirect teaching practices
Creators: name: Giuliani, Arianna
Publisher: name: Form@re - Open Journal per la formazione in rete
Year: 2020

description: The scientific community has been wondering for some time about the strategies that can be effective in favoring a self-assessment of students that is configured as an assessment for learning and on the importance of enhancing the evidence that emerged from internal and external assessments to qualify educational and teaching practices (Aquario & Grion, 2017; Domenici & Lucisano, 2011; Weeden, Winter, & Broadfoot, 2009). The paper deepens the Questionnaire on Motivation and Learning Strategies (QMSA), adapted to the Italian context by Moretti, Giuliani and Morini in 2018 and of which the Confirmatory Factor Analysis is presented. The QMSA allows to detect information on subjects in learning useful to identify a multidimensional profile of the student and to work on didactic interventions aimed at the specific needs that emerged. The QMSA is an easy-to-use tool in the university environment and the information it detects can be a resource for qualifying students’ self-assessment processes and for redirect teaching practices. Il QMSA: come l’autovalutazione degli studenti può essere una risorsa per apprendere e riorientare le pratiche didattiche La comunità scientifica si interroga da tempo sulle strategie che possono essere efficaci per favorire una autovalutazione degli studenti che si configuri come valutazione per l’apprendimento e sull’importanza di valorizzare le evidenze emerse da valutazioni interne ed esterne per qualificare le pratiche educative e didattiche (Aquario & Grion, 2017; Domenici & Lucisano, 2011; Weeden, Winter, & Broadfoot, 2009). Il contributo approfondisce il Questionario sulla Motivazione e sulle Strategie di Apprendimento (QMSA), adattato al contesto italiano da Moretti, Giuliani e Morini nel 2018 e di cui si presenta l’Analisi Fattoriale Confermativa. Il QMSA consente di rilevare informazioni sui soggetti in apprendimento utili per individuare un profilo multidimensionale dello studente e lavorare su interventi didattici mirati alle esigenze specifiche emerse. Il QMSA è uno strumento di agevole utilizzo in ambito universitario e le informazioni che rileva possono essere una risorsa per qualificare i processi di autovalutazione degli studenti e per riorientare le pratiche didattiche.

description: Semantic artefacts (SA) –a broad term to include ontologies, terminologies, taxonomies, thesauri, vocabularies, metadata schemas and semantic standards– are key for the description of data and for making data FAIR. Plus, describing SAs is fundamental to make them FAIR themselves. The Metadata for Ontology Description and Publication (MOD) ontology was developed since 2017 within the  RDA VSSIG and adopted by FAIR-IMPACT to provide a reference vocabulary to semantically describe Semantic Artefacts https://github.com/FAIR-IMPACT/MOD). It was designed as an extension of the Data Catalogue Vocabulary (DCAT), the W3C Recommendation to describe datasets and resources that can be catalogued.

Within FAIR-IMPACT’s WP4 on ontologies and metadata, T4.2 aims to establish guidelines and community practices with respect to the lifecycle of FAIR semantic artefacts from creation (T4.2.1) to sharing and reuse via catalogues or repositories (T4.2.2). With work on MOD, the task also standardised the mechanisms to describe and serve semantic artefacts (T4.2.3) within EOSC. The task has previously released the milestone M4.3 (Specification of semantic artefact description) that contained the latest specification of the MOD (version 3), updated mappings for MOD properties (https://github.com/FAIR-IMPACT/MOD-mappings) and added automatic profiles to check compliance with MOD.

This deliverable describes the latest changes of MOD, mostly done to encompass the description of Semantic Artefact Catalogues in addition to Semantic Artefacts (and their distributions). Then, the deliverable builds on the MOD vocabulary to provide the specification of an Application Programming Interface (API) for interoperability of Semantic Artefact Catalogues in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) ecosystem and beyond. This API is formalised by means of the OpenAPI specification and an OpenAPI template that shall guide for the implementation of a REST API. The objects returned by an implementation of the API shall all be standard semantic objects either from a W3C Recommendation (RDFS, OWL and SKOS) or MOD.  We are expecting the MOD-API for Semantic Artefact Catalogues (https://github.com/FAIR-IMPACT/MOD-API) to enable interoperability and unified access to their content, enabling seamless querying and use by stakeholders independent of domain. The API will be adopted by FAIR-IMPACT T4.2’s use case SA-catalogues (at least AgroPortal, EcoPortal, EarthPortal, and potentially LOV)  and it is publicly available for other catalogues to implement.  The implementation of this API will also be the topic of an upcoming FAIR-IMPACT Open Call.

In particular, critical thinking and creative thinking seem to be those most in demand and, at the same time, those on which there is frequently an unfulfilled expectation. Is tertiary education ready to meet this challenge and if so, what evaluation devices should it have? How could these devices also be placed within the framework of the Dublin Descriptors and Learning Outcomes, foreseen in the study courses? Starting from an analysis of the literature on the different definitions of critical thinking, the contribution focuses on the connections between critical thinking and creative thinking. The study also questions how this thought can be assessed in the academic field and provides, by way of example, the translation of separate rubrics, recently developed. Finally, the paper examines the Italian framework TECO-D Pedagogy, identifying the terms that already imply a reference to forms of critical or creative thinking and warning against the construction of cross-sectional rubrics, on aspects that at least for certain professionals. Valutare il pensiero critico e creativo in ambito universitario Ai sistemi di istruzione e formazione arrivano da più parti istanze di cambiamento affinché nelle giovani generazioni venga rafforzato l’utilizzo dei processi cognitivi di ordine superiore. In particolare, il pensiero critico e il pensiero creativo sembrano essere quelli maggiormente richiesti e, contestualmente, quelli su cui si rileva frequentemente un’aspettativa disattesa. L’istruzione terziaria è pronta per raccogliere tale sfida e se sì di quali dispositivi valutativi dovrebbe disporre? Come si potrebbero inoltre collocare tali dispositivi all’interno della cornice dei Descrittori di Dublino e dei Learning Outcomes, previsti nei corsi di studio? A partire da un’analisi della letteratura sulle diverse definizioni di pensiero critico, il contributo si concentra sulle connessioni tra pensiero critico e pensiero creativo. Lo studio si interroga inoltre su come tali processi possano essere valutati in ambito accademico e fornisce, a titolo esemplificativo, la traduzione di rubriche distinte, messe a punto recentemente. Infine, il paper esamina il framework italiano TECO-D Pedagogia, individuandone i termini che già sottintendono un richiamo a forme di pensiero critico o creativo, evidenziando i possibili limiti della costruzione di rubriche trasversali.

Designing graphics, dashboards and infographics: more or less ink?
Creators: name: Paoletti, Gisella
Publisher: name: Form@re - Open Journal per la formazione in rete
Year: 2020

description: The purpose of this essay is to examine the comprehensibility and efficacy of graphic visualizations used in educational contexts, such as the recent dashboards used in online and blended educational environments. Two different paradigms are compared according to which the design should: (i) minimize the use of pictorial or redundant features and facilitate the quick reading of the chart, or (ii) increase the distinctiveness, novelty and complexity of the chart, preventing a superficial, automatic processing and leading to a deep processing. The problem is relevant for less experienced learners, especially for those with low literacy and numeracy levels, in view of the increasingly widespread use of graphic displays on which decisions and behavioural changes are based. Progettare grafici, cruscotti e infografiche: usare più o meno inchiostro? Lo scopo di questo saggio è esaminare comprensibilità ed efficacia di visualizzazioni grafiche utilizzate in contesti educativi, come i recenti cruscotti/dashboard usati in contesti virtuali e blended. Vengono confrontati due diversi paradigmi secondo i quali la progettazione dovrebbe (i) ridurre al minimo l’uso di tratti pittorici o ridondanti agevolando la lettura veloce del grafico oppure (ii) dovrebbe aumentare la distintività, novità e sofisticazione del grafico, impedendo una elaborazione superficiale, automatica e portando a una elaborazione profonda. Il problema è rilevante per i destinatari meno esperti, soprattutto per quelli con bassi livelli di literacy e numeracy, dato l’uso sempre più esteso di visualizzazioni grafiche su cui basare decisioni e scelte di modificazione del comportamento.

An Exploration of the Eating Disorder Voice Continuum and its Impact on Recovery
Creators: name: Dale, Phoebe
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Eating Disorder Voice
Multiplicity
Voice Personification
Experience Based Co-Design
Relational
Interpersonal
Eating Disorders
Qualitative
Narrative Analysis

description: Section one presents a systematic literature review exploring the
 effectiveness of interpersonal and relational based interventions in
 eating disorder treatment. Four databases were systematically searched,
 and 22 papers were synthesised using an abridged Synthesis Without
 Meta-analysis. Findings highlighted two effective interventions:
 Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Compassion Focused Therapy. These
 interventions produced comparable treatment outcomes to Cognitive
 Behavioural Therapy and offered a more stable recovery. Similar mechanisms
 underpin these interventions as they directly address underlying
 maintaining factors within the self. Clinical implications and directions
 for future research are discussed.

 Section two details a qualitative exploration of voice personification and
 multiplicity alongside the Eating Disorder Voice in young women
 experiencing an Eating Disorder. A three-layered adapted Experience-Based
 Co-Design approach was implemented. Initial analysis of data gathered in
 layer one and two was presented within layer three to obtain participant’s
 feedback on the interpretation of their stories. Eleven stories of lived
 experience were then analysed using Narrative Analysis. Three chapters
 emerged: (1) A Continuum of the Eating Disorder Voice experiences, (2)
 Conflict between the Self and the Eating Disorder Voice, and (3) The role
 of an Eating Disorder Voice in the maintenance of an Eating Disorder.
 Findings indicate a continuum of the Eating Disorder Voice, including
 experiences of voice personification and multiplicity. Furthermore, the
 results demonstrate how the relationship with an Eating Disorder Voice
 maintains an eating disorder. Clinical implications are discussed,
 including adapting eating disorder treatment to reflect the continuum of
 Eating Disorder Voice experiences.

 Section three contains a critical appraisal, which discusses the
 methodological and ethical decisions and issues that arose while
 conducting the empirical paper. The paper also offers personal reflections
 and insights into the process of collaborative research and the importance
 of listening to an unheard population. For a glossary of key terms within

description: Real estate development from raw land to completed structures is a multi-stage process. Given the current view of development as the exercise of a real option, the question arises whether development should be modeled as a compound option. This paper tests the validity of the compound option characterization by determining whether builders start units for which they have permits and then complete units started in a fashion consistent with the predictions of the real options model. To do so, we first identify a reduced form relationship between permits and starts and then between starts and completions. The parameters of this relationship indicate how well permits proxy for starts and starts for completions. Then, we determine whether controlling for this structural relationship, new information and uncertainty in returns affect permit exercise and completion rates as would be the case if these actions were the exercise of real options. We find that current and previous quarter permits forecast current single family starts, while multi-family starts require more quarterly lags of permits. More than one and two year’s worth of lagged starts numbers are needed to estimate current quarter completions for single and multi-family buildings respectively. The principal result is that once building permits have been obtained, the development process proceeds to completion. While there is no evidence that completion is the exercise of an option embedded in a start, some aspects of starts are consistent with builders treating them as an option for starts. However, even if they do, it takes large changes in market conditions to affect small changes in starts.
Selective COX-2 inhibitors : Are they safer than NSAIDs?

description: Therapeutics Letter 39 adds new evidence to information previously published about NSAIDs in Therapeutics Letters 4 and Letter 17. It also responds to our commitment in Therapeutics Letter 31 to report on celecoxib when published trials became available. Conclusions: Patients on rofecoxib had less complicated and symptomatic ulcers but more myocardial infarctions than patients on naproxen. COX-2 selective NSAIDs were associated with the same incidence of serious adverse events as non-selective NSAIDs. Celecoxib and meloxicam caused fewer withdrawals due to adverse events than non-selective NSAIDs. Head-to-head RCTs comparing NSAIDS with dosing regimens to optimize efficacy and safety would be useful.

description: Geometric Algebra (GA) supports the geometrically intuitive development of an algorithm with its build-in geometric primitives such as points, lines, spheres or planes. But on the negative side GA has a huge computational footprint. In this paper we study how GA can compete with traditional methods from Linear Algebra (LA) in the field of raytracing. We examine the raytracing algorithm for both GA and LA on the basis of primitive operations. Furthermore we introduce a novel framework for rendering point clouds based on spheres and planes as surface elements. We use this model to benchmark implementations of both algebras. Our results show that depending on the microprocessor architecture like CPUs, FPGAs or GPUs Geometric Algebra and Linear Algebra can raytrace with comparable speed.
