Ballistic Resistance of Fiber-Reinforced Cement Composite: A Critical Review

Fibers
This review examines the ballistic resistance of fiber-reinforced cement composites (FRCs) and related cementitious systems for protective structures, with emphasis on projectile–target interaction, penetration and scabbing mechanisms, and the governing ...

Reconstructing the major skull myology of the giant stem‐amphibian Mastodonsaurus: A case study for early tetrapods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We reconstruct the major cranial musculature of the giant stem amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus, revealing a differentiated jaw‐adductor system, a probable sesamoid pulley, and previously unrecognised muscles. This EPB‐based case study establishes an anatomical framework for modelling feeding in early tetrapods and supports interpretations of ...

Contextual Learning of New Meanings for Familiar Words: Perturbation of Original Meanings Occurs Without Deliberate Study

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract The present study investigated learning new meanings of known words from reading, following Hulme et al.’s (2018) study. English speakers read four short stories containing 16 critical words (i.e., familiar word forms assigned invented secondary meanings).

Being Biased and Knowing How to Reason

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay explains how reasoning is action and not reflex. It then uses that theory to explain one form of knowing how to reason. Reasoning is thinking biased by knowledge. Drawing on Louise Antony's emphasis on bias as critical for dealing with underdetermination in induction, I show that underdetermination confronts all forms of reasoning ...

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

Generalization of Motor Learning in Psychological Space

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The capacity to generate adaptive movements largely depends on how we generalize what we have previously learned to novel situations. The generalization of adapted movements has typically been framed as a consequence of neural tuning functions that overlap for similar movement kinematics—what might be considered bottom‐up generalization ...

Common inputs to motor units are modulated by force profile and muscle length

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groups of motor units receive common synaptic inputs from specialized networks of premotor neurons to produce movement. Here, we test whether common inputs received by motor units in the first dorsal interosseous are fixed or task‐dependent during submaximal isometric contractions.

Comparison of Amplitude‐ and Amplitude‐Frequency‐Modulated Pulses for Outer Volume Suppression in Cardiac MRI: Application to Myocardial T2 Mapping

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 2240-2252, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate single‐ and dual‐band pulse modules for suppressing extra‐cardiac signal in cardiac MRI, and test their applicability for time‐efficient imaging with reduced FOV in myocardial T2 mapping at 3 T. Methods Outer Volume Suppression (OVS) was implemented using two regional saturation slabs, along the phase‐encoding direction ...

High‐Speed Active Imaging Based Target Deviation Measurement and Optical Calibration for Laser Screen Velocimetry Systems

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
A high‐speed active imaging methodology resolves photoelectric response inconsistencies in laser screen velocimetry. By converting unobservable triggering deviations into quantifiable pixel displacements, this approach enables direct in situ spatial calibration of virtual detection screens.

Simulation and Analysis of Stiffened Auxetic Honeycombs Having Enhanced High Impact Velocity Response

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
The ballistic resistance of auxetic re‐entrant honeycomb structures can be significantly improved through geometric tailoring and structural reinforcement. Vertical and horizontal stiffening ribs enhanced the ballistic performance, increasing the energy absorption efficiency by 119.45% and the projectile velocity reduction by 281.36%, ultimately ...
