Artificial Neural Networks for Defining the Operational Parameters of Sand Filters for Irrigation
Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The difficulty in defining the working configuration during the operation of sand filters arises from the complexity of the relationships among the variables in the filtration and backwashing processes. The objective was to use artificial neural networks to model the pressure loss and removal efficiency of filtration in a commercial sand ...

Peasants into Muslims: Poverty and conversions to Islam in Ottoman Bosnia
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Whilst economic historians have invested substantial effort into understanding the economic consequences of religion, they have invested less effort into understanding the determinants of religious affiliation. The lack of knowledge about determinants of religious affiliation seems particularly striking in the case of Southeastern Europe ...

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...

Entropy Export and Chemical Reactions in Plasmas
Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.In a non‐equilibrium plasma, energy is transferred to molecules by electron‐impact (1), collisions among excited molecules (2), and Joule heating (3). The entropy balance for this open system relates the energy available per molecule to changes in entropy, which determines plasma‐based gas conversion. ABSTRACT Is plasma truly a “fourth state of matter”?

A precision trial case study for heterogeneous treatment effects in obstructive sleep apnea
Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract Precision medicine tailors treatments to individual patient characteristics, which is especially valuable for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where treatment responses vary widely. Traditional trials often overlook subgroup differences, leading to suboptimal recommendations.
