Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this study, the fracture response of polypropylene (PP) was assessed using J‐integral evaluation, J‐R curve construction, and fractography examination. J‐R and load–displacement curves were analyzed to determine critical loads and estimate J‐integral values based on standards established for polymer fracture testing, which led to the ...

The Many Shades of Clouds: How Law Fails (Us) in Seeing Power in the Digital Economy
Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cloud infrastructures form the backbone of our contemporary (digital) production environment. Despite their centrality, legal and scholarly practice have not been treating cloud infrastructures as single objects of/for study. In other words, we have laws for regulating services and products that flow from (within) cloud infrastructures, but we

Electrochemical Science Advances, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Flow capacitive deionisation is an advanced electrochemical technology for water purification and energy‐related applications. It represents a viable alternative to conventional desalination methods due to its low operating voltage, continuous electrode regeneration, and stable performance under moderate‐to‐high salinity conditions. The use of

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.Cementum attachment protein‐derived peptides adsorb to specific crystallographic faces of brushite and calcium oxalate, blocking calcium deposition. This phosphorylation‐enhanced modulation alters crystal growth under conditions in vitro, leading to the formation of irregular brushite crystals and rosette‐like calcium oxalate morphologies.
