The Layout and Size of an Early Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B Small Settlement Revealed by Geophysical Prospection at Harbetsuvan Tepesi in Southeastern Anatolia

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Upper Mesopotamia, the transition from the Pre‐Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) to Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) period, ca. 10 800–10 600 cal. BP, is marked by a series of changes in chipped stone industries, architectural forms, symbolic objects, regional distribution of settlements and long‐distance exchange networks among others.

Ten Minutes of Passive Hip and Knee Joint Movement Reduces Stiffness Due to Osgood‐Schlatter Disease in the Rectus Femoris Muscle

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To investigate the acute effects of passive movement on rectus femoris (RF) stiffness, flexibility, and subjective knee joint pain in patients with Osgood‐Schlatter disease (OSD). Methods Patients with bilateral OSD at the orthopedic clinic between July 2023 and June 2025 were prospectively enrolled.

An Indicator‐Based Decision Framework for Circular Bioeconomy Transition in the Steel Industry: Integrating Multiphase Learning and Cooperative Game Modelling

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing attention to the circular bioeconomy (CBE), the steel industry currently lacks a standardised, sectoral measurement framework to facilitate a low‐carbon transition. In this study, a decision‐support framework for evaluating CBE performance in the steel industry is proposed.

Joint power control and user grouping mechanism for efficient uplink non‐orthogonal multiple access‐based 5G communication: Utilising the Lèvy‐flight firefly algorithm

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2023
We utilise a metaheuristic optimisation method, inspired by nature, called the Lévy‐flight firefly algorithm (LFA), to tackle the power regulation and user grouping in the NOMA systems. Abstract The non‐orthogonal multiple access strategies have shown promise to boost fifth generation and sixth generation wireless networks' spectral efficiency and ...

Rank‐based estimation of propensity score weights via subclassification

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Propensity score (PS) weighting estimators are widely used for causal effect estimation and enjoy desirable theoretical properties, such as consistency and potential efficiency under correct model specification. However, their performance can degrade in practice due to sensitivity to PS model misspecification.

Novel inequalities involving exponentially (α, m)-convex function and fractional integrals

Applied Mathematics in Science and Engineering
In this paper, an identity involving Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals is newly produced. Some new extensions of integral inequalities are proved with the help of Hölder, power-mean integral inequalities and newly established identity.

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.

Temperature‐dependent shear behavior and constitutive model of the rock–concrete interface

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Shear tests were conducted to investigate the temperature‐dependent shear behavior of the rock–concrete interface, highlighting the interaction between the surrounding rock and the lining during tunnel fires. Under experimental conditions, concrete exhibited greater temperature sensitivity than rock, with the shear fracture surface transitioning from ...
