Pteropods as early‐warning indicators of ocean acidification

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Aragonite undersaturation (Ωar$$ {\Omega}_{\mathrm{ar}} $$ <$$ < $$ 1) events are projected to rapidly increase in frequency and duration in the Antarctic Weddell Sea by 2050. Thecosome pteropods (pelagic snails) are bioindicators of ocean acidification (OA) because their aragonite shell dissolves easily at low Ωar$$ {\Omega}_{\mathrm{ar ...

Biodegradable Polymers for Plant Nutrient Delivery and Recovery

Macromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
This review article discusses the use of biodegradable polymers to address several grand challenges in agriculture: to improve the delivery of nitrogen and phosphorous to crops, to optimize plant uptake, and to enhance the recovery of these nutrients from wastewater, to recycle them and reduce water pollution. Abstract The current use of fertilizers is

Return Fantasies: Martial Masculinity, Misogyny and Homosocial Bonding in the Aftermath of Second World War

Gender &History, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This article explores male popular culture in Australia in the mid‐1940s, particularly men's magazines of the period, to illuminate aspects of the psycho‐sexual dimensions of Australian veterans returning to civil society. The sexual landscape of Australian society had undergone considerable transformation, especially through an increasing ...

Microbially Influenced Corrosion in Epoxy‐Ceramic Coated Carbon‐Steel Cooler

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
A significant localization of corrosion attacks up to 1 mm deep were found in coated carbon‐steel cooler. Corrosion products and biofilm were enriched in mixed bacterial community including the genera Sulfuritalea and Methylotenera. Analysis of metabolic markers confirmed their coexistence with sulfate‐reducing bacteria.

‘Had it not been for her’: Gender, Care Labour and Disability in the British Caribbean, 1788–1834

Gender &History, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This article explores the intersections between gender, disability and care labour in the slaveholding societies of the British Caribbean from 1788 to 1834. Considered economic burdens by slaveholders, aged and disabled bondswomen were made productive through caring for their enslaved peers, many of whom were themselves temporarily ...

Results of a Round Robin Test for the Determination of Polarization Resistances on Differently Weathered Zinc Samples Using Gel Electrolytes

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Whether a top layer of corrosion products on zinc or galvanized steel protects the metal from further corrosion can be determined by measuring the electrochemical corrosion product layer resistance using an agar gel as the test electrolyte. The test standard DIN 50023:2024‐07 has recently been published.

Kevlar/Basalt and Kevlar/Glass Intra‐Ply Reinforced Hybrid Composites: Influence of Basket Weave Fabric Structure on Thermal Properties, Flammability, and Impact Performance

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This research explores the effect of basket weave fabric structure and fiber combinations in hybrid composites, focusing on impact resistance, thermal stability, and flammability. The findings demonstrate that Kevlar‐glass laminates offer superior thermal stability and impact strength compared to Kevlar‐basalt laminates.

Characterization of a shielded beam current transformer for ultra‐high dose rate (FLASH) electron beam monitoring and dose reporting

Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Real‐time beam monitoring and accurate dose reporting is challenging in ultra‐high dose rate (UHDR) electron beams. Although beam current transformers (BCTs) can effectively track parameters such as pulse width (PW) and repetition frequency for UHDR electron beams, recent work has highlighted their sensitivity to electric fields ...
