Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)
Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.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.

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2009 In this paper, response of hybrid woven fabric (E-Glass, Kevlar)/polyester composite laminates subjected to high velocity impact loading is discussed. E-Glass plain weaves with on layer of 3-end satin Kevlar were used to manufacture the laminate using ...

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.Abstract This article analyses to what degree Benjamin Robins's discoveries in his book New Principles of Gunnery, 1742, affected the British mathematical, military, and educational world of the mid‐eighteenth century. While it drew praise and critique from Europe, especially from the notable mathematician Leonhard Euler, his mathematical theories were

Perforating characters of Zr-based bulk metallic glass fragment against thin steel target
AIP AdvancesTo investigate the perforating characteristics of Zr-based bulk metallic glass fragments against thin steel target, ballistic experiments were carried out to measure ballistic the limit velocities of fragments perforating against different thicknesses of

The Unintended Consequences of German Deterrence
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Germany's evolving deterrence posture boils down to continued participation in NATO nuclear sharing and an ambitious conventional rearmament program. Due to its non‐nuclear status and a result of decades of underinvestment, Germany prioritizes modern conventional weapons.

Random walk with barycentric self-interaction [PDF]
, 2011 We study the asymptotic behaviour of a $d$-dimensional self-interacting random walk $X_n$ ($n = 1,2,...$) which is repelled or attracted by the centre of mass $G_n = n^{-1} \sum_{i=1}^n X_i$ of its previous trajectory. The walk's trajectory $(X_1,...,X_n)

Moderate is the New Black: Shifts and Intersections in Saudi Arabia's Domestic and Foreign Policy
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is undergoing a period of intense changes. Its current stage of transformation has been led by Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) since 2015, seeking to turn the Kingdom into a story of successful governance and one of the leading powers in the Middle East. In hardly understood yet very consequential ways, KSA's

On the Ballistic Transport for limit-periodic Jacobi Matrices
Motivated by Open Problem 17 in Damanik-Fillman's manuscript , we study the decay rate of limit-periodic approximation such that ballistic transport persists in the limit-periodic setting. We show an exponential decay rate, roughly $\|\mathscr{J}-\mathscr{J}_{q_n}\|\sim e^{-ηq_n}$, is sufficient.

Wave Tracing: Generalizing The Path Integral To Wave Optics
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Modeling the wave nature of light and the propagation and diffraction of electromagnetic fields is crucial for the accurate simulation of many phenomena, yet wave simulations are significantly more computationally complex than classical ray‐based models.
