Microscopic time‐dependent mechanical behavior of shale derived from nanoindentation
This study conducted grid nanoindentation creep tests to systematically analyze the microscopic creep behaviors of shale. Based on the analysis of creep strain rate sensitivity, the primary mechanism of microscopic creep in shale was found to be the extension and closure of microcracks.

A consensus model in legislative decision‐making: The council of the European Union
Abstract The culture of consensus influences legislative decision‐making within the Council of the European Union, often leading to broad coalitions in which even the preferences of isolated member states are considered. Nevertheless, despite its significance, this culture has been insufficiently studied through formal models predicting EU legislative ...
