Abstract Although soft tissue simulants are widely used in ballistic research, glycerine soap is the only material that offers a clear view of the temporary cavity of a wound channel without the use of optical apparatus. However, the latter still shows some inconvenience mostly on its weight and its dehydration process when cut, making it challenging ...

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

Adaptive Optical Layers: Efficient Tall Cell Grids for Liquid Simulation
Abstract Tall cell grids have been proposed as an efficient approach to accelerate large‐scale liquid simulation. In this framework, regions near the liquid surface are discretized with regular grids, while regions farther away are represented by elongated rectangular cells.

Computational Modeling of Decision Making Enhances the Adversity Researcher's Toolbox
Abstract Over the past decades, there has been major progress in our understanding of how adversity influences cognitive abilities and strategies. However, most of this research is based on raw performance, such as response times and accuracy. These measures are informative about decision‐making outcomes but tell us little about cognitive processes. In

Perforation of welded aluminum extrusions
A purely numerical procedure for predicting the perforation resistance of welded extruded AA6082-T6 aluminum profiles is presented in this study. The numerical work was conducted completely independent of the experimental tests that were only used for ...

Finite element simulation of ballistic impact on composite plates
In this study, effect of reinforcement type and different numerical composite damage material models were investigated in high velocity impact applications. Aramid and carbon-aramid hybrid fibers were used as a reinforcement material and epoxy was used as matrix in the composite plate.

Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...
