Valuation of Intangible Expenditures: Revisiting Bublitz and Ettredge (1989)

open access: yesAbacus, EarlyView.
An extensive body of accounting research documents the difficulty of measuring the value of intangibles and the issues surrounding recording them in company financial statements. Early studies examined advertising and research and development (R&D) expenditures when companies began reporting them in their financials in 1972.

Modeling Bloons Tower Defense as a temporal two‐dimensional knapsack problem with irregular shapes and side constraints: integer programming–based approaches

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In Tower Defense (TD) games, the objective is to defend a specific point on the game map from mobile units by constructing towers with offensive capabilities. In this work, we focus on Bloons Tower Defense (Bloons TD), one of the earliest and most prominent TD games.

National plans for aircraft icing and improved aircraft icing forecasts and associated warning services [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Recently, the United States has increased its activities related to aircraft icing in numerous fields: ice phobics, revised characterization of icing conditions, instrument development/evaluation, de-ice/anti-ice devices, simulated supercooled clouds ...

Disentangling atmospheric and soil drought: a new stand‐level manipulation approach for mature forests

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Design of the VPDrought experiment in a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) forest at the Pfynwald research platform. Summary Atmospheric and soil drought are major, yet typically confounded, drivers of tree stress. Rising vapor pressure deficit (VPD) may impair forest function independently of soil moisture decline, yet stand‐scale experimental separation ...

Ice‐Droplet and Damaged Elastomer Interfaces: A Closer Look at Contact and Morphology of Anti‐Icing Coatings Using Cryo‐FIB‐SEM

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 46, December 10, 2026.
Cryo‐FIB‐SEM is used to mill and image the interfaces of ice droplets frozen on PDMS coatings damaged by abrasion and cutting. Both high‐ and low‐real contact areas are revealed for the first time, with interpenetration dependent on the shape of asperities on the damaged surface.

Ruins in the Field: Materiality, Spectres and Pluritemporal Encounters of the Oxford University Arctic Expedition

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 4, December 2026.
Short Abstract This paper contributes to conceptual debates on ruins by generating novel insights into how encounters with the haunted materialities of ruins in the field inform (post)colonial trajectories of exploration. Empirically, it examines how material and spectral traces of past lives in the field, alongside play with categories of absence and ...

Improvement in Pilot Training for Aircraft Icing Conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
One of the most dangerous atmospheric hazards in aviation is aircraft icing. Ice can build on aircraft surfaces, causing decreases in thrust and lift while increasing drag and weight.

Validating antler‐ and movement‐based estimates of caribou reproduction using video camera collars Validation des estimations de la reproduction du caribou basées sur la rétention des bois et  sur le déplacement à l'aide de colliers‐caméras

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 8, November 2026.
We used GPS video camera collar data from barren‐ground caribou in the Porcupine and Western Arctic herds to validate antler‐ and movement‐based methods for estimating annual reproductive metrics. Antler retention was highly accurate for estimating parturition, but the movement methods we tested performed marginally for estimating parturition and ...
