Islamic headscarves and female circumcision: Unveiling the threat posed by Islam to human rights [PDF]
This paper is, in part, a response to the NZPGLeJ Editor-in-Chief Herman Salton’s article,“‘Veiled Threats?’ Islam, Headscarves and Freedom of Religion in France and the United States”, which was published in the first issue of this journal.

ABSTRACT Purpose Ferritin's iron core exhibits complex magnetic properties, as suggested by magnetometry and Mössbauer spectroscopy, which remain incompletely understood. In particular, the antiferromagnetic inner core could influence the accuracy of iron quantification using MRI and raise concerns about postmortem validation studies involving degraded

Finding the nearest positive-real system
The notion of positive realness for linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems, equivalent to passivity, is one of the oldest in system and control theory.

ABSTRACT Purpose Metabolite concentrations can be determined from proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS) data using water as an internal reference. This calculation requires tissue‐specific water T1 and T2 relaxation constants and proton density (PD).

Abstract This in vitro study evaluated the effect of hydroalcoholic propolis extract (HPE) as a collagen cross‐linking agent for preserving the dentin–adhesive interface. Dentin beams from human third molars were demineralized with 10% phosphoric acid and assigned to five treatments: distilled water (control), 6.5% grape seed extract (GSE), and HPE at ...

Solar Activity Dependence of the Dayside Lunar Surface Potential in the Terrestrial Magnetotail
Abstract On the dayside of the Moon, the surface potential is primarily determined by (a) photoelectron emission by solar radiation and (b) the ambient plasma environment. Both of these drivers have large variability, but the resulting variability of the lunar surface potential has not been fully characterized yet.

Bivariate copulas defined from matrices [PDF]
We propose a semiparametric family of copulas based on a set of orthonormal functions and a matrix. This new copula permits to reach values of Spearman's Rho arbitrarily close to one without introducing a singular component.

Comparative Analysis of the Primary Drivers of Plasma Sheet Electron Precipitation
Abstract Plasma sheet electron precipitation into Earth's atmosphere plays a key role in magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling at auroral latitudes. Such precipitation can be driven by four primary mechanisms that scatter equatorial electrons into the loss cone: resonant interactions with whistler‐mode waves, electron cyclotron harmonics (ECH), broadband ...
