Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Shooting‐distance estimation from gunshot‐residue (GSR) patterns on textiles is affected by substrate properties, residue distribution, and region‐of‐interest (ROI) definition. This study evaluated how ROI geometry influences muzzle‐to‐target distance regression from flash‐pulse infrared thermography of GSR‐related thermal patterns.

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since the mid‐2010s, Thai public discourse has villainised upland maize cultivation in northern Thailand for deforestation and environmental degradation through the popular imagery of bald mountains. The attention has prompted a new wave of land‐use interventions urging upland smallholders to replace maize with trees and perennials.

A Splitting Architecture for Exact Reduced Coulomb Friction
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Existing approaches to frictional contact dynamics typically either modify the Coulomb law to improve numerical robustness or solve the exact law in a fully coupled monolithic form. However, in its reduced form, exact Coulomb friction can be written as a cone complementarity problem with an augmented velocity, which reveals a natural split ...

Electoral impact of the rental market: evidence from Israel
Economica, EarlyView.Abstract This paper studies housing tenure and voting patterns during the period from July 2013 to July 2023 in Israel, where the rental share of housing units increased from 24% to 29%, and six national elections for parliament took place. Using detailed neighbourhood panel data on rental units share and electoral outcomes, I find that switching a ...

Ultrasonic Inspection of Graphite-Epoxy Solid Rocket Motor Canisters [PDF]
, 1990 Thick filament-wound composite materials are particularly attractive for use in solid rocket motor structures. However, these materials are difficult to inspect because of the scattering losses associated with multiple fiber layers.

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...
