Engineering which summarizes important parts of that study,2) and particularly on an important historical survey by Professors Melvin Kranzberg and Cyril Stanley Smith in that journal.'...

Materials Science of Synthetic Membranes

Material science aspects of synthetic polymeric membranes are presented in this survey. The objective is to place each of the subsequent chapters of this volume into proper perspective. Therefore, frequent reference is made to the accompany...

Big data and machine learning for materials science

Herein, we review aspects of leading-edge research and innovation in materials science that exploit big data and machine learning (ML), two computer science concepts that combine to yield computational intelligence. ML can accelerate the so...

Abstract To develop economically viable and environmentally benign methodologies for organic reactions and reveal the practical utility of transitional natural compounds and their derivatives. In addition, a new research method to conduct d...

About the Double-Axe (Labrys) / Butterfly Symbols in an Offering Pit in Tisna

In this study, double-axe/butterfly depictions in an offering pit discovered during the 2018 archaeological survey at Kocakale Tepe (Tisna) are introduced. The doubleaxe/ butterfly motifs with a total of 10 scraping lines in different sizes...

Archaeological Survey

Time and Archaeology

The concept of time is salient to all human affairs and can be understood in a variety of different ways. This pioneering collection is the first comprehensive survey of time and archaeology. It includes chapters from a broad, international...

African Archaeology

Research in Africa is now accepted as an integral part of global archaeological studies. As well as providing archaeologists with the oldest material, Africa is also widely recognised as the birthplace of modern man and his characteristic c...

The Oxford companion to archaeology

When we think of archaeology, most of us think first of its many spectacular finds: the legendary city of Troy, Tutankhamun's golden tomb, the three-million-year-old footprints at Laetoli, the mile-high city at Machu Picchu, the cave painti...

The Neolithic Settlement Landscape of the Southeastern Swabian Alb

This paper presents goals, methods, and preliminary results of a collaborative project investigating Neolithic settlement and land use of the southeastern Swabian Alb limestone plateau region in southwestern Germany. The project combines sy...

A Generic Formula and Some Special Cases for the Kullback–Leibler Divergence between Central Multivariate Cauchy Distributions

This paper introduces a closed-form expression for the Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) between two central multivariate Cauchy distributions (MCDs) which have been recently used in different signal and image processing applications where ...

Making Preliminary GRBs Real-Time Astronomical Reports

We present a standalone software tool which makes reports for analysis and evaluation of GRBs. Recently, analysis and evaluation of GRBs were done without help of semiautomated tools or routines; so the time elapsed from the detection until...

HIP 65426 is a High-frequency Delta Scuti Pulsator in Plausible Spin–Orbit Alignment with its Directly Imaged Exoplanet

HIP 65426 hosts a young giant planet that has become the first exoplanet directly imaged with JWST. Using time-series photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we classify HIP 65426 as a high-frequency δ Scuti pulsat...

Investigating the Impact of Supernova Feedback on Satellites in Elliptical Galaxies

We investigate the influence of supernova (SN) feedback on the satellites of elliptical host galaxies using hydrodynamic simulations. Utilizing a modified version of the GADGET-3 code, we perform cosmological zoom-in simulations of 11 ellip...
