The Dynamics of European Economic Systems Amid the Russia–Ukraine Conflict: A Cybernetics Approach
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the dynamics of European economic systems in the context of the Russia–Ukraine conflict, employing a cybernetics approach and advanced econometric models. Based on the premise that national economies operate as complex adaptive systems, the study investigates the impact of geopolitical shocks on macroeconomic equilibrium ...

Left to Live and Die: Resource Security and the Biopolitics of Land Stockpiling in China
Abstract Beginning in 2007, the Chinese state used liberalising policy and funding to encourage the expansion of large‐scale grain farming. Despite this support, many of the new farms have struggled financially and folded. Drawing on Foucauldian biopolitics and resource security literature, I argue that, with modernised agriculture, the state primarily

Abstract This study examines the continuity and change in harvesting practices between the Late Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) and the Early Pottery Neolithic at Qminas, north‐western Levant, through a traceological analysis of flint sickles. By combining qualitative traceological analysis with quantitative functional approaches, we demonstrate that ...

Polymer degradation rate control of hybrid rocket combustion [PDF]
Polymer degradation to small fragments is treated as a rate controlling step in hybrid rocket combustion. Both numerical and approximate analytical solutions of the complete energy and polymer chain bond conservation equations for the condensed phase are

Prediction of the aerodynamic performance of re-usable single stage to orbit vehicles [PDF]
Re-usable single stage to orbit launch vehicles promise to reduce the cost of access to space, but their success will be particularly reliant on accurate modelling of their aero-thermodynamic characteristics.

Simulations of secondary Farley-Buneman instability driven by a kilometer-scale primary wave: anomalous transport and formation of flat-topped electric fields [PDF]
Since the 1950s, high frequency and very high frequency radars near the magnetic equator have frequently detected strong echoes caused ultimately by the Farley‐Buneman instability (FBI) and the gradient drift instability (GDI).

Anticipating Knowledge Applicability in Open Science Through Recycling, Mimicking, and Shortcutting
ABSTRACT Open science literature scrutinizes how organizations provide access to knowledge. Yet, much less is known about how organizations pursuing open science for societal impact anticipate knowledge applicability—that shared knowledge is reusable for other organizations and individuals, and enables open social innovation.
