Does Political Decoupling Through Fair Market Privatization Improve Managerial and Political Outcomes? Insights From Water Utility Sales

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many U.S. municipalities face environmental service delivery challenges, including aging infrastructure and rising debt. In response, several states have adopted Fair Market Value (FMV) legislation, which aims to incentivize private firms to acquire and invest in municipal utilities—particularly in the water sector. However, the impacts of FMV

Improving Cooperation in Government Purchasing Through Formal‐Relational Contracting

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A central challenge in government contracting is fostering cooperation between buyers and sellers where contract terms are incomplete. This article introduces a framework for formal‐relational contracting (FRC) in public sector contexts, where rigid regulations, competing values, and market imperfections make cooperation both difficult and ...

The role of fenestration in acute canine thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion: Part 2—The biological and biomechanical effects of fenestration

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Prophylactic fenestration is widely performed to prevent recurrence of canine acute thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE); however, there is a paucity of specific data regarding the biological and biomechanical effect of this procedure on the intervertebral disc and vertebral column.

Reduced cardiovascular mortality at moderate altitude: a putative role of physical activity and body mass

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Benefits of performing physical exercise at moderate altitude. At moderate altitude, increased resting metabolic rate and physical exertion promote physical fitness and exercise tolerance, whereas hypoxia suppresses appetite and elicits adaptations that increase tissue O2 delivery while augmenting O2‐independent ATP production ...

Chromatic Ramsey Numbers and Two‐Color Turán Densities

Journal of Graph Theory, Volume 113, Issue 4, Page 663-676, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Given a graph G, its 2‐color Turán number ex ( 2 ) ( n , G ) is the maximum number of edges in an n‐vertex graph, such that the edges can be colored with two colors avoiding a monochromatic copy of G. Let π ( 2 ) ( G ) = lim n → ∞ ex ( 2 ) ( n , G ) / n 2 be the 2‐color Turán density of G.

Feeling Survivance: Indigenous Women, Qualia, and Clothing in Highland Guatemala

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The article uses qualia—sensuous terms—to analyze talk about Indigenous women's clothing change in highland Guatemala, allowing scholars to access Indigenous ontologies and stories of survivance. People in Kaqchikel communities talk about young women's disuse of Indigenous clothing as a response to being “too hot” or having bellies that are ...

Weak Degeneracy of Planar Graphs

Journal of Graph Theory, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 399-410, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The weak degeneracy of a graph G is a numerical parameter that was recently introduced by the first two authors with the aim of understanding the power of greedy algorithms for graph coloring. Every d‐degenerate graph is weakly d‐degenerate, but the converse is not true in general (e.g., all connected d‐regular graphs except cycles and cliques

Continuous Sewing Machine‐Like Suture Provides Higher Failure and Yield Load Compared to Traditional Techniques for Meniscal Root Repair in a Biomechanical Porcine Model

Arthroscopy, Volume 42, Issue 10, Page 2211-2219, October 2026.
Purpose To evaluate the biomechanical performance of the sewing machine‐like suture (SMS) technique against three established techniques (two cinch‐loop (TCL), modified Mason‐Allen (MMA), and double Mason‐Allen (DMA)) for transtibial pull‐out repair of posterior medial meniscal root tear (PMMRT) in a porcine model.

Body Composition Differences Across Ranks and Sexes of Competitive Swimmers: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Body composition (BC) plays a key role in assessing athletes' health. However, many factors, including sex and performance rank, may influence BC and should be considered when assessing it. Moreover, BC is estimated indirectly, and body volume (BV) represents a key component of densitometric assessment.

On the Ramsey number of 4-cycle versus wheel

Indonesian Journal of Combinatorics, 2016
For any fixed graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that for every graph $F$ on $n$ vertices must contain $G$ or the complement of $F$ contains $H$.
