Effect of Different Surface Treatments on Resistance to Abrasive Wear of AISI 4140 Steel
steel research international, EarlyView.This study investigates how different surface treatments affect resistance to abrasive wear of AISI 4140 Steel. The wear rate was significantly higher in samples subjected to conventional treatments than in samples coated using the HVOF process, demonstrating the superior efficiency of coatings applied by thermal spraying in mitigating abrasive wear ...

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article argues that the current debate over defence spending in the United Kingdom is fundamentally flawed. Too much emphasis is being placed on preparing for a form of warfare with Russia that is unlikely to occur. As this article points out, the Russians actually want to avoid a traditional battlefield confrontation with NATO.

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)
Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

The Unintended Consequences of German Deterrence
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Germany's evolving deterrence posture boils down to continued participation in NATO nuclear sharing and an ambitious conventional rearmament program. Due to its non‐nuclear status and a result of decades of underinvestment, Germany prioritizes modern conventional weapons.

The Stability‐Instability Paradox and the Evolving Balance of Terror in the Middle East
Middle East Policy, Volume 33, Issue 4, Winter 2026.Abstract In launching its war on Iran, Washington has committed a grave mistake by allowing a weakened Islamic Republic to reconstitute a regional balance of terror. This article shows how the Cold War‐era stability‐instability paradox has been restored in a new form, creating an equilibrium that discourages open warfare while reducing the advantages ...
