Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.Abstract The BookSampo Linked Data portal was deployed in 2011 by the Finnish Public Libraries and has today nearly 2 million annual users. Its Linked Data covers virtually all Finnish fiction literature but the data has not been used for data analyses in Digital Humanities. This paper discusses how the Knowledge Graph can be used for literary research

Autogenous self‐healing of concrete: Experimental design and test methodsA review
Engineering Reports, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Concrete exhibits an intrinsic ability to heal cracks, defined as “autogenous self‐healing.” However, despite code restrictions, autogenous self‐healing of concrete shows limited effectiveness in practice. This indicates the need for further research to provide engineers with reliable design rules.

A Data-driven Investigation of Euphemistic Language: Comparing the usage of "slave" and "servant" in 19th century US newspapers [PDF]
arXivThis study investigates the usage of "slave" and "servant" in the 19th century US newspapers using computational methods. While both terms were used to refer to enslaved African Americans, they were used in distinct ways. In the Chronicling America corpus, we included possible OCR errors by using FastText embedding and excluded text reprints to ...

A Quantile Approach to the Relationship between Body Mass, Wealth, and Inequality [PDF]
Little research exists on the historical relationship between BMI variation, wealth, and inequality. This study finds that 19th century US black and white BMIs were distributed symmetrically; neither wasting nor obesity was common. Nineteenth century BMI

The Matilda Effect and Women's Representation in Biology
The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.Abstract The undervaluing of minorities and their researcher contributions reduces when a threshold level of minority representation (between 15 and 30%) is reached in a group or community. Botany is celebrated as a discipline in which women have been able to make important contributions, especially in the past.

Urban vegetation change after a hundred years in a tropical city (San José de Costa Rica) [PDF]
Rev. Biol. Trop. (Int. J. Trop. Biol. ISSN-0034-7744) Vol. 58 (4):
1367-1386, December 2010, 2015 Urban vegetation is of key importance because a large proportion of the human population lives in cities. Nevertheless, urban vegetation is understudied outside central Europe and particularly, little is known about the flora of tropical Asian, African and Latin American cities.

Sediment supply control on morphodynamic processes in gravel‐bed river widenings
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 47, Issue 15, Page 3415-3434, December 2022., 2022 Mobile‐bed laboratory experiments combined with two‐dimensional hydrodynamic numerical simulations showed that sediment supply is a key driver of morphodynamic activity in reach‐scale dynamic river widenings. Sediment supply roughly balanced with the channel's transport capacity led to active channel widening and continued patchy sediment relocation ...
