Credibility–Constraint Decoupling and South Korea's Nuclear Option: Explaining Salience and Policy Conversion

Pacific Focus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT South Korea presents a puzzle for threat‐centered accounts of allied nuclear politics. Why did South Korea advance into covert state‐directed exploration of a nuclear weapons option before North Korea possessed nuclear weapons, yet refrain from renewed state‐directed pursuit after North Korea built a substantial nuclear arsenal and posed a ...

Ballistic performance of hybrid composite structures

, 2021
The aim of this study is to numerically investigate the ballistic behavior of composites with different thicknesses and different reinforcements. The guns were shot at four different velocities on composite models using armor-piercing 7.62 M61 AP projectiles.

Computational Modeling of Decision Making Enhances the Adversity Researcher's Toolbox

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past decades, there has been major progress in our understanding of how adversity influences cognitive abilities and strategies. However, most of this research is based on raw performance, such as response times and accuracy. These measures are informative about decision‐making outcomes but tell us little about cognitive processes. In

Generalization of Motor Learning in Psychological Space

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The capacity to generate adaptive movements largely depends on how we generalize what we have previously learned to novel situations. The generalization of adapted movements has typically been framed as a consequence of neural tuning functions that overlap for similar movement kinematics—what might be considered bottom‐up generalization ...

Pre‐season friendly match‐play as a double‐edged sword: Performance gains and inflammatory cost in semi‐professional soccer players (a natural experiment)

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pre‐season training prepares soccer players for competition, but the longitudinal effects of friendly match exposure remain unclear. We investigated whether cumulative late pre‐season match‐play is associated with physiological adaptation in semi‐professional players.

Estimating Sub‐Pixel Temperatures During Volcanic Eruptions Using Dual‐Band Thermal Imaging Technique: Case Studies From Whakaari/White Island (New Zealand) and Tofua (Tonga)

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
This study presents the first application of a dual‐band satellite thermal monitoring technique in New Zealand and Tonga, using the 2019 eruption of Whakaari/White Island and the persistently active Lofia crater on Tofua volcano as case studies. At Whakaari/White Island, near‐synchronous Landsat‐8 and Sentinel‐2A data (16 min interval) were analysed ...
