Uncovering the Past: DNA Analysis of Skeletal Remains from the Medieval Bosnian City of Bobovac

Numerous archaeological sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina represent a historical heritage and testify to the rich cultural, social, and political life of medieval Bosnia. Bobovac, the capital of the Bosnian Kingdom after King Tvrtko I's coron...

Morphological features of the Eneolithic — Early Bronze population as a result of adaptation to the geographical and bioclimatic conditions of the Altai highlands

This paper is aimed at scrutinizing the dependence between the morphological features of the Eneolithic — Early Bronze population and the geographical and bioclimatic conditions in the Altai valleys and intermountain basins. Across the terr...

Archaeology and Assemblage

Assemblage is a concept common to a number of academic disciplines, most notably archaeology and art, but also geology and palaeontology. Archaeology can claim a special link to the term assemblage, though novel approaches to the concept of...

Demography in Archaeology

Demography in Archaeology, first published in 2006, is a review of current theory and method in the reconstruction of populations from archaeological data. Starting with a summary of demographic concepts and methods, the book examines histo...

Demographic Archaeology

Grand challenges for archaeology

Archaeology is a source of essential data regarding the fundamental nature of human societies. Researchers across the behavioral and social sciences use archeological data in framing foundational arguments. Archaeological evidence frequentl...

A Companion to archaeology

Bintliff, John, ed., A Companion to Archaeology. Oxford: Blackwell Publishing, 2004. word archaeology conjures up images of people in pith helmets digging into the sandy earth of the desert or monumental buildings rising above jungle foliag...

Archaeology and the Postcolonial Critique

In recent years, postcolonial theories have emerged as one of the significant paradigms of contemporary academia, affecting disciplines throughout the humanities and social sciences. These theories address the complex processes if coloniali...

Measurement of the Y(1S) pair production cross section and search for resonances decaying to Y(1S)μ+μ− in proton-proton collisions at s=13TeV

The fiducial cross section for Y(1S) pair production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in the region where both Y(1S) mesons have an absolute rapidity below 2.0 is measured to be 79±11(stat)±6(syst)±3(B)pb ass...

Testing the Physical Parameter Constraining Power of HCN and HNC with Neural Networks

We quantify the utility of HCN and HNC to characterize gas conditions in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. We use measurements from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program ALCHEMI: the ALMA Comprehensive Hig...

Tera-Hertz Counterparts to Fast Radio Bursts from Coherent Cherenkov Radiation by Tilted Bunches

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration extragalactic transients characterized by ultrahigh brightness temperatures, suggesting coherent emission mechanisms in extreme astrophysical processes. In this paper, we extend the bunched ...

A Gaussian Process Framework for Testing General Relativity with Gravitational Waves

Gravitational-wave astronomy provides a promising avenue for the discovery of new physics beyond general relativity as it probes extreme curvature and ultrarelativistic dynamics. However, in the absence of a compelling alternative to genera...

The Be star o Cas is indeed the primary of a triple system

Analysis of radial velocities of two narrow absorption components in the Mg II 4481 Å line demonstrated that the secondary of the Be star o Cas is indeed a close binary system composed of two B7 stars orbiting each other with a period of ...

Investigating the timelike Compton scattering in photon–proton interactions at the EIC

Abstract Information about the three-dimensional description of the quark and gluon content of hadrons, described by the generalized parton distributions (GPDs), can be probed by exclusive processes in electron–proton (ep) collisions. In th...

Integrability from point symmetries in a family of cosmological Horndeski Lagrangians

Abstract For a family of Horndeski theories, formulated in terms of a generalized Galileon model, we study the integrability of the field equations in a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker space-time. We are interested in point transformati...

Effects of Background Solar Wind and Drag Force on the Propagation of Coronal-mass-ejection-driven Shocks

The propagation of interplanetary shocks, particularly those driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), is still an outstanding question in heliophysics and space weather forecasting. Here, we address the effects of the ambient solar wind on ...

Cusp of Non-Gaussian Density of Particles for a Diffusing Diffusivity Model

We study a two state “jumping diffusivity” model for a Brownian process alternating between two different diffusion constants, D+>D−, with random waiting times in both states whose distribution is rather general. In the limit of long measur...

Numerical Methods in Astrophysics

Numerical Methods in Astrophysics: An Introduction outlines various fundamental numerical methods that can solve gravitational dynamics, hydrodynamics, and radiation transport equations. This resource indicates which methods are most suitab...

Eclipsing Millisecond Pulsars with He Star Companions

Eclipsing millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are a type of pulsar binaries with close orbits (≲1.0 day). They are important objects for studying the accretion history of neutron stars (NSs), pulsar winds, and the origin of isolated MSPs, etc. Recen...
