How many shots are enough? Optimizing precision measurements when testing lead‐free ammunition
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Growing concern about lead exposure in scavenging wildlife and the consumers of game meat has increased interest in evaluating the performance of lead‐free rifle ammunition. Testing both accuracy and precision helps ensure reliable shot placement while reducing the risk of non‐fatal woundings.

Evaluation of head response to ballistic helmet impacts using the finite element method
, 2007 Injuries to the head caused by ballistic impacts are not well understood. Ballistic helmets provide good protection, but still, injuries to both the skull and brain occur.

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Sharp force trauma has been the leading cause of homicide in England and Wales for more than a decade. Experimental research on sharp force trauma frequently relies on animal bone as a substitute for human remains, yet their ethical acceptability and comparability to human bone remain contested.

Adaptive Optical Layers: Efficient Tall Cell Grids for Liquid Simulation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.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.

Experimental verification of numerical simulation of projectile impact on ballistic shields
Archive of Mechanical Engineering, 2013 Abstract In this work, the author presents experimental verification of numerical simulation of projectile impact on constructional shields. The experimental tests were performed at a unified test stand to investigate ballistic resistance of materials in field conditions.

Computational Modeling of Decision Making Enhances the Adversity Researcher's Toolbox
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.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

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.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 ...
