Experimental and machine learning-driven assessment of IS 2062 steel under double-base propellant combustion conditions by Hari Singh, Dola Sundeep, C. Chandrasekhara Sastry, Eswaramoorthy K Varadharaj

“…Conversely, Test-07 exceeded 355–372 ksc with burn rates surpassing 41 mm/s, exhibiting erosive burning and accelerated steel erosion.Material characterization techniques, including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), revealed significant oxidation, scale formation, and localized surface degradation, in high-temperature regions around 2500 Kelvinat the nozzle throat inducing structural changes. To enhance predictive accuracy, machine learning models Linear Regression, Random Forest Regression, Support Vector Machines (SVM), K-Means Clustering, and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were employed to analyze combustion-induced degradation trends, confirming Test-06 as the optimal balance of stability and high performance. …”

Chalcolithic stamp seals from Tepe Gheshlagh, and a look into their application in ownership and exchange systems by Mahnaz Sharifi, Abbas Motarjem

“…With a descriptive-analytical method, an attempt was made to expound on Gheshlagh’s glyptic assemblage that attest to the existence of an ownership system and commercial exchanges. A structural analysis of the glyptic iconography suggested that each of the linear, circular, or repeating patterns were less mere personal insignias intended to exclude the possibility of alteration or forgery than they were marks belonging to a pre-literate system where each sign/symbol stood for individual commodity types that were transported or exchanged as such. …”
