Scientific theory and possibility by Baron, S, Le Bihan, J, Read, J

“…We argue that it is the models of effective theories that we should believe correspond, at least in part, to possibilities. It is thus effective theories that should guide modal reasoning in science. …”

'The darker angels of our nature': a butchered Early Bronze Age human bone assemblage from Charterhouse Warren, Somerset, UK by Schulting, R, Fernández-Crespo, T, Ordoño, J, Brock, F, Kellow, A, Snoeck, C, Cartwright, IR, Walker, D, Loe, L, Audsley, T

“…An Early Bronze Age assemblage of human remains from Charterhouse Warren, southwest England, exhibits evidence of extreme violence. At least 37 men, women and children were killed and butchered and their disarticulated remains were thrown down a 15m deep natural shaft in what is most plausibly interpreted as a single event. …”

Design of digital filters by optimization techniques by Zhang, Dongye

“…To design better complex coefficient FIR filters, a weighed least-squares (WLS) constraint in magnitude is imposed and combined with minimax constraints in magnitude. …”

Performance of microwave formed angle ply composites by Bhudolia Somen Kumar.

“…The traditional method of Autoclave curing (Thermal curing), although being expensive, is still the most accepted because it gives least standard deviation during all mechanical tests as compared to other available methods like the use of Ultraviolet and gamma rays heating. …”

Book review : Facts, values and the policy world by Phil Ryan by Ginsburg, Norman

“…The distinction between facts and values is a methodological conundrum which faces all social scientists, not least critical social policy analysts. It concerns the need for evidence and rational argument to support a critical perspective on a social issue. …”

Interferometric scattering microscopy by Young, G, Kukura, P

“…Interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) is an extremely sensitive imaging method based on the efficient detection of light scattered by nanoscopic objects. The ability to, at least in principle, maintain high imaging contrast independent of the exposure time or the scattering cross section of the object allows for unique applications in single-particle tracking, label-free imaging of nanoscopic (dis)assembly, and quantitative single-molecule characterization. …”

Low energy levels of harmonic spheres into analytic manifolds by Rupflin, M

“…While a well known conjecture asserts that ΞE(N) is discrete whenever N is analytic, for most analytic targets it is only known that any potential accumulation point of the energy spectrum must be given by the sum of the energies of at least two harmonic spheres. The lowest energy level that could hence potentially be an accumulation point of ΞE is thus 2Emin. …”

A counterexample to the coarse Menger conjecture by Nguyen, T, Scott, A, Seymour, P

“…Recently, Georgakopoulos and Papasoglu and, independently, Albrechtsen, Huynh, Jacobs, Knappe and Wollan conjectured a coarse analogue of Menger’s theorem, when the k paths are required to be pairwise at some distance at least d. The result is known for k ≤ 2, but we will show that it is false for all k ≥ 3, even if G is constrained to have maximum degree at most three. …”

Building a Scalable Electrification Infrastructure in Logistics by Alam, Muhammad Ashhad

“…A major driver of this environmental footprint remains a heavy reliance on trucking—the least fuel-efficient mode of transportation. A key pathway toward freight decarbonization, therefore, involves shifting from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric powertrains in truck fleets. …”
