Optimising hypoxia PET imaging and its applications in guiding targeted radiation therapy for non‐small cell lung cancer: a scoping review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 106-118, March 2025.
This review article reports that quantification of hypoxic volumes using PET in the pre‐radiation therapy setting is of prognostic value and indicative of treatment response in non‐small cell lung cancer. Abstract Introduction Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer‐related death. Definitive treatment includes chemotherapy and

Robust Position Control of an Electro‐Hydraulic Actuator via Metaheuristic Optimization of a Fractional‐Order PID Controller

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, a robust position control strategy is presented for a two‐stage electro‐hydraulic actuator system using a fractional‐order proportional–integral–derivative (FOPID) controller tuned by Kirchhoff's law algorithm (KLA). Electro‐hydraulic systems exhibit strong nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances ...

A Coupled Extended Finite Element–Cohesive Zone Model for Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Under Poroelastic Effects Across Different Propagation Regimes

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...

A Coupled Chemohydraulic Model of a Hydration Experiment

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents a model for the hydration of periclase into brucite during water infiltration into a dry, pure periclase core. The hydration process proceeds in two stages. In Phase I, an infiltration front advances through the core while simultaneously triggering the hydration reaction.

Semi‐Analytical Solution of Time‐Harmonic Soil–Pile Interaction Using Love Numbers in Transversely Isotropic and Layered Half‐Spaces

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An efficient semi‐analytical approach based on the Fourier–Bessel series (FBS) system of vector functions and the stiffness matrix method is proposed to study the dynamic response of axially loaded piles embedded in transversely isotropic (TI) layered soil.

Affinification: A Fine Approximation of Deformations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce affinification, a novel method for accelerating physics‐based animation of elastic solids. During a time‐dependent simulation, our method automatically partitions the space into affine and elastic regions depending on the deformation.

Fast Nodal Hessian Computation for Peridynamic Fracture Simulation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
A fast, exact nodal Hessian computation for Non‐Ordinary State‐Based Peridynamics is introduced through analytical simplification and a warp‐centric GPU strategy. The method accelerates preconditioned solvers and Vertex Block Descent, enabling interactive fracture simulation with physical accuracy.

‘This Is Not Europe’: Investigating the Commission's Anti‐Populist Articulation of ‘European Values’

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Whilst ‘populism’ is often considered antithetical to ‘European values’, how this contrast shapes the very meaning of such ‘values’ remains underexplored. This article investigates the European Commission's anti‐populist articulation of ‘European values’, which constructs ‘populism’ as their constitutive outside.

Infrastructure expansion, tourism and electoral outcomes

Economica, Volume 93, Issue 371, Page 757-776, July 2026.
Abstract This paper examines the electoral impact of economic growth through increased foreign tourism using data from Croatia. To identify causal effects, the paper applies an instrumental variable strategy, which uses variation in the ruggedness of the local terrain to estimate the network of least‐cost paths.
