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.

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...
