The advent of next-generation sequencing technology has allowed the collection of vast amounts of genetic variation data. A recurring discovery from studying larger and larger samples of individuals had been the extreme, previously unexpected, excess of very rare genetic variants, which has been shown to be mostly due to the recent explosive growth of human populations. Here, we review recent l...

The paper covers questions relating to the existence, explosion, and prevention of explosion, of solutions of stochastic functional differential equations (SFDEs) of Itô type. It is well-known that solutions of a deterministic ordinary differential equation x(t) = f(x(t)) can explode in finite time if the function f does not obey a global linear bound; however, uniqueness up to the explosion ti...

Abstract In order to study the influence of buffer layer on explosive drive reactive fragment, for fragment warhead same structure, static explosion test and break-through target method were used integrity with several different thickness silicone rubber layers. The initial velocity was measured, its variation law analyzed. results show that increase layer, fragments increases. When is 2 mm, ra...

Fingerprints have been used in forensic investigations for the identification of individuals since the late 19th century. However, it is now clear that fingerprints can provide significantly more information about an individual. Here, we highlight the considerable advances in fingerprinting technology that can simultaneously provide chemical information regarding the drugs ingested and the expl...

The atmospheric dispersal of iron fragments ejected from detonated ordnance released within the Nam Souy sub-basin during secret bombing campaign Laos 1965 ~ 1973 was simulated through python integration with ArcGIS. data for study obtained US National Archives and shows that a total 7,667,619 weapons delivered in (4.5 million tons), 19,005 (5,900 tons) were dropped site. simulation adapted Gau...

-An experimental investigation is conducted using dynamic photoelasticity and high speed photography to study the wave propagation due to blast loading in porous media as a function of fluid saturation. The porous media have been modeled as a continuous solid containing particular arrays of holes or voids. The study has focused mainly on the effect of the porous structure on transient pulse pro...

Background Intermittent explosive disorder is defined as a recurrent, problematic, and impulsive aggression that affects 3% to 4% of the US population. While behavioral genetic studies report a substantial degree of genetic influence on aggression and impulsivity, epigenetic mechanisms underlying aggression and intermittent explosive disorder are not well known. Methods The sample included 44...

This study sought to assign a rough order of magnitude for the amount of explosive residue likely to be available in real-world searches for clandestine explosives. A variety of explosives (TNT, TATP, HMX, AN, RDX, PETN) in various forms (powder, flake, detonating cord, plastic) were carefully weighed or cut into containers, and the amount of residue inadvertently remaining on the work area, ha...

We propose a new type of concrete for the attenuation of elastic waves induced by dynamic excitation. In this metamaterial, which we call metaconcrete, the stone, sand, and gravel aggregates of standard concrete are replaced with spherical inclusions consisting of a heavy metal core coated with a soft outer layer. These engineered aggregates can be tuned so that particular frequencies of a prop...
