In the past decades, snow avalanches on Shar mountain have occurred continuously, which in certain places have led to undesirable consequences. The assessment and zoning of the areas with a level of risk in the case of Shar Mountain was carried out by applying MDA-AHP and Fuzzy Logic methods, while the analysis of the accuracy of the final obtained...

The knowledge of Pliensbachian (Early Jurassic, ∼192.9-184.2 Ma) plesiosaurs is notoriously insufficient. Although there have been specimens described from different parts of the world, only three of them have been established as diagnosable taxa. Here, we describe two previously unreported lower Pliensbachian plesiosaur occurrences that originate...

The Coskinolinidae comprises a family of Middle Jurassic-Paleogene, typically orbitoliniform larger benthic foraminifera, displaying a pseudokeriothecal wall structure. The type genus Coskinolina Stache, 1875 lacks an exoskeleton (i.e., beams, rafters) giving rise to an undivided marginal chamber zone. However, other taxa included in the family suc...

Beyond the “comfort zone” and beyond the “fear zone” lies a “zone of learning”. In a world increasingly wracked by crises, Ukraine’s fight for survival has yielded invaluable lessons on human endurance, adaptability and community-driven action. Through a blend of courage, self-organization, and a refusal to give up their identity, Ukrainians have b...

A novel approach is proposed to predict alternating stall in a centrifugal pump impeller with even blades by introducing a low-pressure ratio, which is defined as the ratio of the deviation of the low-pressure zones of adjacent impeller passages. The threshold of 2/3 is shown to be a good quantity with which to accurately and quantitatively predict...

The new species of the Mississippian conodonts Lochriea monocarinata n. sp. extends the diversity of the ornamented representatives of the genus Lochriea Scott, 1942. Lochriea monocarinata n. sp. differs from its close relatives by the presence of a nodose ridge only on the inner (caudal) part of the asymmetrical basal cup. The range of the new spe...

Scatterplots of biological datasets often have no‐data zones, which suggest constraint or promotion of dependent variables. Although methods exist to estimate boundary lines—that is, to fit lines to the edges of scatters of data points—there are, to our knowledge, none available to assess the significance of the areal extents of no‐data zones. Acco...

A unique specimen of Beakfish, Oplegnathus insignis (Kner, 1867), was captured off the coast of Chañaral as a bycatch in a fishing net in northern Chile, extending its known range in Chilean territory by 370 km to the south. This study discusses the significance of this geographical extension for the establish‑ ment of local populations of the spec...

Accurate estimation of greenhouse gas (GHG) is essential to meet carbon neutrality targets, particularly through the calculation of direct CO2 emissions from electricity generation.

Cylindrical inclusions in mobile brushes experience apparent attraction, which arises from a tendency to minimize the depletion zone around the inclusions, thereby maximizing the overall entropy. We find that correlation blobs act as the basic units of the attraction. In tall brushes, however, the depletion zone formed above the inclusions can gene...

The crustal structure of Mercury's large impact basins provides valuable insights into the planet's geological history. For a warm crust, a post‐impact basin structure will viscously relax with inward flow of crustal materials toward the basin center. This effect drastically diminishes the crustal thickness contrasts and associated Bouguer gravity...

In this paper, a new class of composite structures of variable stiffness is considered. In composite parts with stress concentrators, localized regions are created in which the angle of unidirectional reinforcement changes, causing a decrease in the stress concentration coefficient at the discontinuity and an increase in ultimate stresses. Unlike r...

Background: What should be taught, they say, is as significant as how it should be taught. Both are strong factors in determining the quality of a teacher. Failure to acquire the desired change in behaviour of Arabic and Islamic Studies learners calls for an urgent need to carry out an evaluation of methods of teaching Arabic and Islamic Studies in...

This paper presents the guidance schemes devised for the Service Module based aborts in the ascent phase of human rated launch vehicle. The guidance strat...

Whispering gallery resonators offer a versatile platform for manipulating the photonic transmission. Here, we study such a system, including periodically distributed pointlike impurities along the resonator with ring geometry. Based on an exact expression for the transmission probability we obtain here, we demonstrate that the bound states in the c...

The saddle point (Van Hove singularity) exhibits a divergent density of states in two-dimensional systems, leading to fascinating phenomena such as strong correlations and unconventional superconductivity, yet it is seldom observed in three-dimensional (3D) systems. In this work we find two types of 3D higher-order saddle points (HOSPs) in emerging...
