Democracy From Within: A Democratic Cultural Schema in the US Public

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Are members of the public still committed to democracy? Existing studies often ask whether members of the public sanction political actors who break institutional or procedural norms. In contrast, we study a shared cultural horizon, which grounds democracy as a way of living.

Mortars From Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto: Materials, Formulations, and Technology

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an archaeometric investigation of 18 hydraulic rendering and bedding mortars from Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto (NW Sicily). The research aimed to characterize raw materials, reconstruct manufacturing sequences, and evaluate technological proficiency through mineralogical and petrochemical analyses.

A bifacial paradise—The site of Ochtmissen, Germany, and its lithic assemblage in the context of the last glacial (early MIS 4) in the north‐central European Lowland

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Palaeolithic site of Ochtmissen (Lower Saxony, Germany) was excavated in fluvial terrace deposits during the winter of 1993/1994. The current study presents, for the first time, a thorough analysis of the lithic assemblage, encompassing its primary technological and typological characteristics, as well as the type and age of the fluvial deposits ...

The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Chaotic dynamics and synchronization of fractional order PMSM ‎system

, 2015
‎In this paper, we investigate the chaotic behaviors of the fractional-order permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) system. The necessary condition for the existence of chaos in the fractional-order PMSM system is deduced and an active controller is ...

Fluid Control with Localized Spacetime Windows

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a physics‐based fluid control method utilizing localized spacetime windows, extending force‐based fluid control to substantially larger simulation scales. In many practical editing scenarios, user‐specified objectives affect only a small region of an otherwise satisfactory simulation, resulting in optimal control force distributions

Banks and the economy: Evidence from the Irish bank strike of 1966

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper studies the macroeconomic impact of the Irish bank strike of 1966, which led to the closure of the major commercial banks for 3 months. We collect a variety of new evidence, such as high‐frequency macro data, economic forecasts, micro data and narrative sources.

Neglected Conflicts Induce Negative Consequences on Displaced Persons and Host Families

International Social Science Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conflict studies disproportionately focus on internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees, largely side‐lining host community and family dynamics in neglected conflict contexts. We use the sustainable livelihoods capital portfolios to compare changes among IDPs and host families (HFs) of the neglected Anglophone conflict in Cameroon ...

Bridging the implementation gap in MCABC inventory management: from a taxonomy to practical archetypes

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite increasing demands for resilient and sustainable supply chains, inventory management often relies on outdated single‐criterion analyses. While multi‐criteria ABC (MCABC) analyses provide a theoretically mature assessment of resilience‐sustainability‐benefit trade‐offs in inventory, their adoption remains limited due to fragmented ...
