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.

New Developments of Friction Models in Brake Systems [PDF]

The dynamics of friction in brake systems is correlated with the wear-process in the contact area of brake pad and brake disc. The time-dependence of characteristic patterns of wear on the brake pad was used to introduce a new theory of friction in brake

Effects of 6‐OHDA‐Mediated Chemical Denervation of Sympathetic Axons in Inguinal Subcutaneous White Adipose Tissue

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims White adipose tissue (WAT) innervation by sensory and sympathetic axons contributes to tissue functions, but the consequences of selectively disrupting sympathetic input to WAT remain incompletely defined. Materials and Methods We utilised 6‐hydroxydopamine (6‐OHDA) as a validated approach to achieve bilateral sympathetic denervation of ...

Vibration Characteristics of Elastic Disc Brake Pad Device

, 2011
A new elastic disc brake pad device is designed. A mathematical model on railway vehicle elastic disc brake is established compared with the non-elastic brake pad by uni-wheel set braking simulation. The simulation results show that the elastic brake pad

Structure analysis and optimization of brake pad for disk brake squeal suppression

AIP Advances
The brake squeal during automobile braking seriously affects the comfortableness and quality of automobile products. To analyze the effect factor on brake squeal, disk brake squeal experiments and simulation were carried out with a disk brake test bench ...

Parent child contact problems—Re‐connecting the dots through a somatic lens

Family Court Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Parent child contact problems (PCCP) and parental alienation (PA) occupy much time for family law professionals especially as parents might use the term PA loosely, for the parent allegedly doing PA and the parent experiencing PA. Negotiating safety, connection and distance are fundamental to PCCP.

Motor Vehicle Brake Pad Wear—A Review

Vehicles
The paper offers an overview of the motor vehicle brake pad wear process. Considering the types of wear that occur between the pads and the disc, the study begins by presenting Archard’s fundamental wear law. It explains how the hardness and roughness of

Integrative architecture and structural boundaries of the subdigital adhesive toe pads of Gekko gecko (Linnaeus, 1758) and guidelines for toe pad demarcation in other geckos

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The adhesively competent toe pads of Gekko gecko (and other geckos) are delimited by a combination of external and deep anatomical features and cannot be identified based upon external scale form alone. We encourage future investigators to delimit toe pads in this functionally and anatomically meaningful fashion.

Law and Infrastructure: Reliability, Automation Transition, and Irregularities of “U‐Space”

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union (EU) is making regulatory efforts to allow for the safe integration of drones into civilian airspace through automated means. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/664 concerning unmanned traffic management (a system referred to as “U‐Space”) furthers that commitment. Accordingly, drone operators must avail themselves
