Is Time Travel Possible? Accidental Signs as Sociolinguistic “Wormholes”

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sociolinguistics primarily focuses on deliberately staged public signs, while relatively less attention has been given to ephemeral and non‐deliberate signs in urban environments. This study investigates “ accidental signs,” which are hidden historical texts suddenly exposed by unpredictable events.

Parametric Study of Phosphogypsum‐Rock Wool‐Phosphogypsum Sandwich Lightweight Partition Wallboards Under Impact Load

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on the validated LS‐DYNA model, this study carried out a series of simulations on Phosphogypsum‐Rock Wool‐Phosphogypsum (P‐RW‐P) sandwich lightweight partition wallboards under impact load. The effects of structural and impact load parameters on their impact performance of P‐RW‐P wallboards were systematically analyzed, providing a basis for the ...
