Merchantable Biomass and Carbon Estimation of Bottomland Hardwood Oaks in the Arkansas Delta Using Allometric and Random Forest Models

Abstract Bottomland hardwood forests in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (LMAV) play a critical role in regional carbon dynamics and ecosystem service provision; however, studies to develop biomass estimation models for oak species in this unique ecosystem remain limited. Th...

Electromagnetic Illusion: Photonic Emission as Orthogonal Acoustic Shockwaves in a Compressible Superfluid Plenum

The standard model of electromagnetism describes photonic emission as the release of discrete, massless particles traversing a dimensionless vacuum ($\mathbb{R}^3$) \cite{Jackson1999}. This Letter presents a purely fluid-dynamic derivation of electromagnetic emission by redefinin...

Identifying Optimal Locations for Primary Wood Processing Mills and their Potential Support in New Job Creation in Arkansas

Abstract Arkansas has experienced a decline in the number of primary wood processing mills (PWPMs) despite maintaining relatively stable roundwood production, raising concerns about efficient utilization of surplus forest resources and long-term forest management. This study iden...

The Michelson-Morley Fallacy: Re-evaluating the Null Result via Boundary Layer Entrainment in a Dynamic Kinetic Medium

The 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment is foundational to modern astrophysics, widely cited as the definitive empirical disproof of the luminiferous aether and the primary historical justification for a fundamental spatial vacuum. However, a rigorous re-evaluation of the original 1...
