Coherence‐Gated Wrapped‐Phase InSAR With Matrix‐Based Uncertainty Diagnostics for Burial‐Mound Hotspot Ranking (Sicily, Italy)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Burial mounds are key elements of Mediterranean funerary landscapes, but in intensively cultivated coastal plains their low‐relief expression is easily obscured by ploughing, levelling and rapidly changing surface conditions, making single‐date observations unreliable.

Cooperative learning strategies to raise attainment in mathematics with pupils aged 11–16 years: A systematic literature review

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Cooperative learning is a widely adopted teaching method to improve academic achievement. This review synthesises existing research on the use of cooperative learning within a school setting for pupils aged 11–16 years. Such a review has not been undertaken to date and will present an evidence base for educators considering implementation ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Stakeholder Engagement as a Design Principle: Orchestrating a Digital Platform for the Safety and Sustainability of the Nanomaterials Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The governance of chemicals and nanomaterials presents a critical challenge, as significant uncertainties regarding safety and sustainability match their innovation potential. This creates a “knowledge‐to‐action” gap, hindering the practical implementation of safety and sustainability by design (SSbD) principles.

Generation of Numerical Models of Anisotropic Columnar Jointed Rock Mass Using Modified Centroidal Voronoi Diagrams

, 2018
A columnar joint network is a natural fracture pattern with high symmetry, which leads to the anisotropy mechanical property of columnar basalt. For a better understanding the mechanical behavior, a novel modeling method for columnar jointed rock mass ...
