Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Freeze–thaw processes are important drivers of land degradation in cold regions, and soil freezing temperature and unfrozen water content are key parameters for characterizing soil hydrothermal conditions and water phase transitions during freezing.

Linear Mechatronic Modeling of Rectangular Tank Sloshing Dynamics
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sloshing dynamics in partially filled tanks can strongly influence system‐level behavior when fluid motion couples with rigid‐body dynamics. This paper presents a linear and acausal two‐dimensional sloshing model for rectangular tanks, based on the reformulation of established sloshing theory within a modular, multi‐domain modeling framework ...

Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review
Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The frequency of tobacco use during the postmedieval period is widely underexplored; this has repercussions for our understanding of the intoxicant's health impacts during this time. Our study assesses the frequency rates of tobacco consumption in different social groups in England and the Netherlands, two countries in which tobacco use became

Transitioning to Higher Education: A Case Study of an Individual With Autism
Psychology in the Schools, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Necessary arrangements should be made to enable university students with autism (the term “autism” is used to refer to the entire autism spectrum in this study) to improve their transition to university. The need for support may be higher in countries like Türkiye, where the number of university students with autism is relatively low, as ...

Deformation, Creep, and Dynamics in Glassy Ionomers
Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.Ionic architecture tunes the inelastic deformation of glassy ionomers. Simulations show that ionic associations leave the small‐strain elastic baseline nearly unchanged, but strongly reinforce yielding, strain hardening, and creep resistance. Polyampholyte architectures suppress nonaffine mobility and stress‐induced fluidization most effectively by ...

Modeled Subsidence of Permafrost Terrain 2025–2050: North‐Central Alaska
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A large fraction of the Alaska terrain is underlain by regolith that contains excess ice (ice that in volume exceeds the natural pore space). Possible loss of excess ice would lead to ground subsidence, which in turn would disturb and destabilize the ground surface.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Permafrost in northern peatlands occurs within individual palsas or extensive peat plateaus and controls local carbon storage. These permafrost landforms are complex, and their internal structure remains poorly understood. We used quasi‐3D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements, supported by UAV‐LiDAR topography, frost probing ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Freeze–thaw processes cause periglacial creep (otherwise known as solifluction) which forms solifluction lobes. These are lobate features characterized by a steep riser (front) and a smooth tread (body). Despite the widespread occurrence of these lobes, the controls on their morphometry remain poorly understood. Research into solifluction lobe
