The rain feels different under the same umbrella: Experiences with poverty across LGBTQ subgroups

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Population‐based survey data have demonstrated that LGBTQ communities report varying rates of economic insecurity, yet very little research directly assesses how pathways into and experiences with poverty look different among subgroups at the intersections of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).

Energy absorption by polymer crazing [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
During the past thirty years, a tremendous amount of research was done on the development of crazing in polymers. The phenomenon of crazing was recognized as an unusual deformation behavior associated with a process of molecular orientation in a solid to

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development

Ozone Crazing of Biaxially Stressed GR-S Vulcanizates

open access: yes, 1955
Typical crazing of stressed GR-S vulcanizates can be produced by exposure of biaxially stressed specimens to ozone in the absence of light.

The Fast, the Steady and the Tenacious: Funding Pathways for Circular Start‐Ups

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular start‐ups (CSUs) are critical for unlocking the circular economy, yet they face persistent barriers in accessing finance. Despite growing interest from policymakers and financing institutions, little empirical evidence explains how these ventures pursue and secure funding.

Shape recovery in a thermoset shape memory polymer and its fabric-reinforced composites

open access: yeseXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2011
A shape memory polymer (SMP) can be deformed from a permanent to a temporary shape above their transformation temperature. Upon reheating, the SMP spontaneously returns to the permanent shape.

Evaluation of structural change and local strain distribution in polymers comparatively imaged by FFSA and OCT techniques

open access: yeseXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2012
Mechanical material testing combined with optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows for the first time the immediate detection of inner structural changes along with a qualitative observation of the local strain distribution in surface near bulk regions ...

Market and Nonmarket Strategies in Focus: How Entrepreneurs Tackling the Grand Challenge of Waste Management Navigate Institutional and Market Adversity in Ghana

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Waste management remains a critical grand challenge in African countries. While entrepreneurship has been a viable strategy for addressing this challenge, it is fraught with constraints. This study investigates the strategies orchestrated by entrepreneurs to navigate adversity in Waste management and ensure the social and economic viability of

Finite element analyses of shear yielding and crazing in glassy polymers under cyclic mode I loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
A simple and yet physically motivated continuum-micromechanical model for crazing is developed, focussing on cyclic loading. The model features fibril drawing and fibril creep deformation, loose hanging fibrils upon unloading and the morphology change ...
