Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)

open access: yesJournal 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 Dual‐Use Conundrum of the Lisbon Treaty Regarding Space Governance: Solutions Through International Legal Interpretation?

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An inherent divide features within the Lisbon Treaty between civilian and military/security competences; something previously more obvious via the ‘pillar system's’ separations. This division follows the Member States (MS) (natural) protection of their military/defence autonomy; their core sovereign powers.

The Unintended Consequences of German Deterrence

open access: yesGlobal 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.

Optimizing Viscoelastic Properties of Rubber Compounds for Ballistic Applications

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Using interlayers of rubber adds a positive effect to the synergy of disruptor–absorber armors. Emerging from its viscoelasticity the material is able to transform mechanical stress into heat.

Between Hedging and Bandwagoning: E3 and Iran's Nuclear Program From the JCPOA to the 2026 “Ramadan War”

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the evolution of the European Troika's narratives on Iran's nuclear program, from the aftermath of the JCPOA to the 2026 “Ramadan War.” Drawing on an analysis of 55 official statements by E3 leaders and diplomats, the study traces how the E3 shifted between a posture of normative hedging and one of bandwagoning.

Israel's Post‐War Healthcare Obligations

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the beginning of the Israel–Hamas war in 2023, the healthcare infrastructure within Gaza has been dismantled. While international humanitarian law mandates distinction between lawful targets (combatants and military objectives) and non‐lawful targets (civilians and civilian objects), and acknowledging the inherent complexities of ...

A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 34, September 10, 2026.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics
