Random‐key optimization for 2D irregular packing with reusable area evaluation

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The diverse constraints of industrial applications lead to variants of two‐dimensional (2D) irregular packing problems that require tailored solution methods. This paper addresses a real‐world industrial challenge by proposing a new problem definition, the maximum reusable contiguous area problem (MRCAP), and a novel metric, the maximum ...

Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1050-1061, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka).

The Temporal Imperative: Palaeo‐Proxies and Nature‐Based Solutions for Resilient Natural Inland Wetland Conservation and Management in Southeast Asia—A Systematic Review

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural inland wetlands in Southeast Asia provide key biodiversity, hydrological, carbon‐storage and livelihood functions, but are increasingly affected by land‐use change, fire, hydrological modification and climate change and variability.

Late Middle Palaeolithic and Early Upper Palaeolithic in Poland in the light of new numerical dating

Geographia Polonica
Although the first numerical dating of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic sites in Poland was applied at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century, it has only been in the last two decades that a data increase has been recorded, making it possible ...

Were the Larsemann Hills ice-free through the last Glacial Maximum? [PDF]

, 2001
Lake sediments in the Larsemann Hills contain a great diversity of biological and physical markers from which past environments can be inferred. In order to determine the timing of environmental changes it is essential to have accurate dating of ...

Unravelling the Genetic Structure of Local and Mainstream Red‐Pied Cattle Breeds Using Genomics and Extended Pedigree Analysis

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 705-718, September 2026.
ABSTRACT During the last decade, there has been a growing interest for local and endangered breeds as they are often seen as more resilient and healthier than mainstream breeds. They can also provide high added‐value products like meat or dairy products.

Luminescence dating of core sediments from the southern coastal Bohai Sea, China, and its implications for transgression history during the Late Quaternary

Frontiers in Marine Science
Several marine strata have developed along the southern coastal Bohai Sea since the Late Quaternary, preserving abundant records of sedimentary evolution. This region is ideal for studying the sedimentary history of a river–sea interaction area. However,

Single-Grain Quartz OSL Characteristics: Testing for Correlations within and between Sites in Asia, Europe and Africa

Methods and Protocols, 2019
We studied the characteristics of the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signal of single-grain quartz from three sites in China, Italy, and Libya, including the brightness, decay curve and dose response curve (DRC) shapes, recuperation, and ...

OSL Dating of Sea Floor Sediments at the Okinawa Trough [PDF]

, 2014
In estimating the ages of sea floor hydrothermal deposits, the age of the sediments overlying it would give the youngest limit if the sedimentation age is correct. The OSL (optically stimulated luminescence) method was applied to two sediment cores taken by an acrylic corer from the seafloor in the Okinawa Trough.
