Effects of Carbon Nanoparticles on Triboelectro‐Induced Surface Defects
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Carbon nanoparticles added to grease modify the electrocontact behavior. The synergy of particle concentration and electric current dominates the surface damage of metals in contact. Electrical surface damage caused by current leakage is a critical challenge in high‐performance applications such as electric vehicle (EV) drivetrains and wind turbine ...

A Simple Explanation for Taxon Abundance Patterns [PDF]
, 1999 For taxonomic levels higher than species, the abundance distributions of number of subtaxa per taxon tend to approximate power laws, but often show strong deviationns from such a law. Previously, these deviations were attributed to finite-time effects in

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a workflow to accelerate predictions of microstructure‐sensitive fatigue life. Results from frameworks with varying levels of simplification are benchmarked against published reference results. The analysis reveals a trade‐off between accuracy and model complexity, offering researchers a practical guide for selecting the optimal ...

Animals as Something More Than Mere Property: Interweaving Green Criminology and Law
Social Sciences, 2020 Our article argues that non-human animals deserve to be treated as something more than property to be abused, exploited, or expended. Such an examination lies at the heart of green criminology and law—an intersection of which we consider more thoroughly.
