By in situ reaction blending, DOPO‐HQ and THEIC were added to PLA with MDI to construct a phosphorus containing polyurethane network, which significantly improved the flame retardant and anti‐dripping properties of polylactic acid composites. ABSTRACT Polylactic acid (PLA) is highly flammable and prone to severe melt dripping during combustion, which ...

Partitioned Desires: Female Agency and Interfaith Relationships Around the Partition of India
ABSTRACT Through an examination of the phenomenon of abduction, I suggest that the preoccupation with women's violation during the 1947 Partition of India has obfuscated a history of female desire. Considering accusations of kidnapping made by women's families against men belonging to a different religion in instances of interfaith desire, I ...

Abstract One of the most contentious issues in the study of the Atlantic slave trade is the profitability of the trade. In this paper, we contribute by pooling all available data on transatlantic slave ship voyage accounts into a joint dataset. This dataset includes data from a period of 100 years (1730–1830) and from five nations (Denmark, France ...

Cataclysmic variables: structure and evolution [PDF]
AbstractI discuss the structure and evolution of cataclysmic variables, with a particular emphasis on the influence of the physics used in calculating the internal structure of the secondary. The available observational data is very rich, and can, in principle, be used to constrain the stellar physics.

Abstract The Russian aggression in Ukraine, launched on 24 February 2022, marked the return of conventional war in the European continent. While Western leaders have framed the ongoing conflict through a common narrative when speaking internationally, which varies in its national nuances, much less is known about the images and lenses that the European

Introduction: Charting the Evolution of English and Anglophone Writing in Asia
ABSTRACT This introductory article explores the history of the English language and literatures in the Asian ‘Outer Circle’ countries, or English in its ‘second diaspora’, focusing primarily on literature from its beginnings to the present. Due to space limitations, the scope is further narrowed to poetry and the novel – the two genres that, arguably ...

Cataclysmic variables from a ROSAT/2MASS selection. I, Four new intermediate polars [PDF]
We report the first results from a new search for cataclysmic variables (CVs) using a combined X-ray (ROSAT)/infrared (2MASS) target selection that discriminates against background active galactic nuclei. Identification spectra were obtained at the Isaac

BLOB PARAMETERS OF ACCRETION STREAMS IN MAGNETIC CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES
Results of investigations of the autocorrelation functions for two magnetic cataclysmic variables BY Cam and QQ Vul are presented. Significant variations of this characteristic are detected. They are interpreted as caused by variations of the blob length

Spectroscopically Identified Cataclysmic Variables from the LAMOST Survey. II. Period Estimates
We examine a sample of 340 cataclysmic variables (CVs) from the latest data release of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) survey, along with 18 objects that are newly classified as CVs.

Gravitational Radiation From Binary Systems With Time Varying Masses
We extend the standard approach pioneered in the works by Peters and Mathews to include the mass loss processes of the binary components, by obtaining the variations due to gravitational radiation of the main physical parameters. As an application of our results we consider gravitational radiation emission in binary magnetar systems.
