MORE TESTING OF MESOAMERICAN LUNATE ARTIFACTS AS POSSIBLE LOOM WEIGHTS, THAT ALSO FUNCTIONED AS TWINING TOOLS

More Testing of Mesoamerican Lunate Artifacts as Possible Loom Weights, that also Functioned as Twining Tools

In previous replication studies and experiments, a lunate jade artifact from the Pre-Classic/Formative period (1500 BC-AD 250) of Mesoamerica was analysed, researched, and tested for its similarities to the crescent weight, a specialized type of loom Game Console weight found in ancient Central and Southern Europe.These analyses successfully establ

An agent-based modelling framework for the simulation of large-scale consumer participation in electricity market ecosystems

Abstract The role of consumers as price-sensitive participants in electricity RTF markets is considered essential to ensure efficient and secure operations of electricity systems.Yet the uncertain or unknown consequences of active market participation remain a large barrier for active consumer-side market participation.Simulations are a powerful to

Analysis of internal ballistic load environment and simulation verification methodology for fuzes of high-angle artillery ammunition

The fuze is the critical actuating component that enables high-angle artillery ammunition to achieve its terminal effects.Its performance directly impacts the coordination between the artillery ammunition and the firing system, thereby determining the probability of destruction Game Console of aerial targets by the high-angle artillery ammunition,

Historical dynamics and current environmental effects explain the spatial distribution of species richness patterns of New World monkeys

Background Why biodiversity is not uniformly distributed on the Earth is a major research question of biogeography.One of the most striking patterns of disparity in species distribution are Knives the biodiversity hotspots, which generally do not fit with the distribution of relevant components of the Neotropical biota.In this study, we assess the
