Plant Disease and Phytopathogen Research in Central Asia: A Bibliometric Mapping of Research Trends, Collaboration, and Emerging Directions

Plant diseases and phytopathogenic threats pose significant challenges to agricultural productivity and food security in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. This study aimed to characterize research development, scientific productivity, collaboration...

On the exclusion of the excluded middle law and quantum mechanics

We argue that limitations arise when using non-constructive mathematics (NCM) as a foundation for quantum mechanics, since the Boolean logical substrate of NCM fits a distributive propositional structure, but fits less naturally into the non-distributive lattice of quantum propos...

GeoProtoNet: texture-aware few-shot lithology classification from rock imagery using frozen DINOv2 features

Abstract Rapid lithology identification on open-pit bench faces is typically performed manually by geologists, yet it is subjective, inconsistent under variable field conditions, and cannot be scaled to the large image volumes required by conventional supervised deep learning. We...

Laser Doppler Velocimetry Measurements of Acoustic–Turbulent Flow Interaction over Liner

The interaction between a grazing turbulent boundary layer at Mach 0.3 and tonal acoustic waves with an amplitude equal to 145 dB over a single-degree-of-freedom acoustic liner is investigated experimentally using laser Doppler velocimetry. Streamwise and wall-normal velocity pro...

Direct time-domain eduction of acoustic liner impedance in turbulent grazing flows

Acoustic liners are passive sound-absorbing materials widely used in engineering applications and are commonly characterised by their acoustic impedance. In the presence of high sound pressure levels or grazing flows, the impedance is modified by local nonlinear effects. Conventi...

Thermo‐Mechanical Topology Optimization: An Immersed FEM Level‐Set‐Based Approach

ABSTRACT This paper proposes a multi‐physics framework for topology optimization using an immersed level set‐finite element model. The work extends the capabilities of a recently developed immersed level‐set method to thermo‐mechanical problems, including coupling and material‐de...
