Chasing the perfida Albione: Anglo‐Italian productivity gap in the late 1930s

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1579-1607, November 2026.
Abstract This paper presents new estimates of Anglo‐Italian labour productivity levels in manufacturing in the late 1930s, derived using the standard single‐deflation approach. The findings confirm a substantial productivity gap between Italy and the United Kingdom at the aggregate level, alongside pronounced intersectoral heterogeneity.

Effects of curl type on hair fracture patterns in non‐chemically treated hair

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue S1, Page S63-S69, November 2026.
The problem of high breakage in textured hair was investigated by analysing the fracture patterns on hairs broken during fatigue testing. Data suggest that repeated stretching and untwisting of very curly, Type 4 hair in fatigue experiments often create longitudinal cracks that then progress to form long tear fractures.

Use of single fibre fatiguing experiments to understand breakage in textured hair Part I

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue S1, Page S33-S47, November 2026.
Single fibre fatigue testing shows three contributing factors to high breakage in textured hair. This hair type breaks far more readily under these test conditions; there is a high tendency for premature failure; and breakage is also sizably exacerbated by higher fatiguing forces associated with this hair type.

Comparing Digital and Fluorescent Imaging for Detecting White Spot Lesions in Orthodontic Patients

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 875-882, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background To perform orthodontic movements, brackets and ligatures must be placed on the teeth that facilitate plaque accumulation, which can lead to the formation of demineralization lesions. Aim The purpose of this comparative study was to detect and measure WSLs using digital and fluorescence‐based methods in patients with malocclusions ...

Porous Poly(ε‐Caprolactone)/Keratin Composite Scaffolds: Structural Features, Degradation Behavior and Cell‐Material Interactions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 40, October 20, 2026.
ABSTRACT Porous scaffolds based on pure poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) and on biocomposite made of PCL and feather‐extracted β‐keratin (FK) were fabricated by salt‐leaching method. FK was incorporated into PCL to address the limited bioactivity and hydrophobic nature of PCL, with the aim of improving cell–material interactions for bone tissue engineering ...
