A Thoracic Mechanism of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Due to Blast Pressure Waves [PDF]
, 2008 The mechanisms by which blast pressure waves cause mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are an open question. Possibilities include acceleration of the head, direct passage of the blast wave via the cranium, and propagation of the blast wave to

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

A comparison of the behind armour blunt trauma effects between ceramic faced and soft body armours caused by ballistic impact [PDF]
, 2002 Recently published research has characterised the behind armour blunt trauma (BABT) effects associated with high velocity ballistic impact on textile-based armour faced with a ceramic plate. Subsequently dynamic displacements, accelerations and pressures

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.

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

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.

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.
