Multi-objective optimization of B-spline parameterized film holes: Cooling effectiveness, thermal stress and flow resistance

Film cooling is widely used in turbine blades and combustors, serving as an indispensable key technology for gas turbines and aero-engines. Previous research on film cooling optimization has predominantly adopted single-objective approaches centered exclusively on cooling effecti...

Multi-level malware subfamily attribution from RGB executable images using attention-augmented deep learning

Malware analysis in modern cybersecurity increasingly requires decisions at multiple levels of granularity, including maliciousness detection, malware family identification, and fine-grained subfamily attribution. While image-based malware classification has demonstrated promisin...

Genocide as a Joint Criminal Enterprise: Interrelationship between Collective Intent and Individual Intent

이 논문은 제노사이드와 공동범죄집단(Joint Criminal Enterprise, JCE) 이론 사이에 존재하는 개념적 유사성을 검토하고, 제노사이드 개념 그 자체 안에 JCE의 법리가 내재되어 있음을 논증한다. 제노사이드와 JCE는 각각 집단적 ‘제노사이드의 고의’와 ‘공동의 목적/계획’이라는 객관적 구성요건, 그...

Transoral robotic versus laser surgery for cT1-T3 supraglottic laryngeal cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative and non-comparative studies

Background To compare literature findings about functional, oncological and surgical outcomes of transoral robotic (TORS) versus transoral laser microsurgery (TOLM) for supraglottic cT1-T3 laryngeal cancers. Methods Three independent investigators conducted a PubMed, Scopus, and...

Effect of gypsum on tobermoritization in a monticellite-OPC-alkali model system

Monticellite (CaMgSiO 4 ), a common mineral phase in high-magnesium metallurgical solid waste, exhibits extremely low hydration reactivity, which restricts its resource utilization in the field of building materials. Sulfates can promote the cleavage of Si-O bonds and provide cry...

Linear blue-light optical inspection for fatigue crack detection in steel bridges

Fatigue cracking is a critical concern for the structural integrity of steel bridges, particularly in enclosed steel box girders characterized by dim illumination, reflective metallic surfaces, and complex background interference. Under such conditions, low crack-to-background co...

Non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) and their role in reconstructing the paleoclimate of the Seki-Eceler Höyük during the Holocene in southwestern Türkiye

This study investigates non-pollen palynomorph (NPP) assemblages from the 4.7 m long JARK014-4 sediment core to reconstruct Holocene palaeoenvironmental changes at Seki-Eceler Höyük in southwestern Türkiye. During the early Holocene, the abundance of NPPs related to freshwater, i...

Mechanical behaviour of meta-sandwich structures with spinodal-shell core: Modelling, analysis and experiments

Shell-based spinodal architectures have recently attracted significant attention as mechanical metamaterials due to their highly tuneable effective properties. In this work, the suitability of shell-based spinodal metamaterials as core materials for lightweight sandwich structure...

Distribution, temporal variation, and treatment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in urban stormwater runoff

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging contaminants known for their persistence and potential health risks. Stormwater runoff serves as a major pathway for contaminant transport into aquatic ecosystems, yet data on the occurrence, distribution, and transport of P...

Health Literacy and Other Factors Associated With Recent Dental Care Utilization Among Mexican-American Adults

Introduction and Aims Health literacy (HL) plays a role in determining whether patients can successfully navigate dental care systems and access needed care. This study examines the association between HL on recent dental care utilization among Mexican-American young adults durin...

Experimental study on the axial compression mechanical performance of thin-walled square steel tube-glued laminated timber composite hollow columns

To further enhance the compressive performance of glued laminated timber columns, thin-walled square steel tubes were bonded with glued laminated timber on the outer side to form thin-walled square steel tube-glued laminated timber composite hollow columns. Taking the hollowness...

Spatial transformations, placemaking strategies, and challenges of home-based rural E-commerce in Dinglou Village, China

Despite the transformative potential of digital economies in rural areas, household participation in rural E-commerce in China remains largely invisible and marginalized in development and spatial planning discourse, primarily due to an insufficient understanding of its socio-spa...

Mixed lignocellulosic biomass for continuous bioethanol production: logistics, process integration and biodesign

The increasing demand for renewable energy and the urgent need to mitigate climate change have driven global interest in bioethanol as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. However, reliance on edible feedstocks such as corn, sugarcane or wheat has proven unsustainable due t...

Localized hotspot mitigation using a hybrid microchannel heat sink with alternating-orientation arched-bridge pin-fins

Localized hotspots induced by non-uniform heat generation in AI accelerators and data-center processors necessitate microchannel heat sinks that can enhance local heat removal and improve substrate temperature uniformity. In this context, hybrid microchannel heat sink with altern...
