Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Morphological and morphometric analysis of archaeological animal hairs offers a nondestructive method to explore past clothing. We examined hair from two 18th‐century burial areas (SP03 and SP04) in Mazamet, France. SP03 specimens exhibited a continuous medulla, a low medullary index (0.2 ± 0.03) and cuticular features suggesting goat or ...

Adhesive joint evaluation by ultrasonic interface and lamb waves [PDF]
Some results on the application of interface and Lamb waves for the study of curing of thin adhesive layers were summarized. In the case of thick substrates (thickness much more than the wave length) the interface waves can be used.

Conversational Democracy: Facilitating Children's ‘Unprompted Talk’ in Social Work Dialogues
Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In child and family social work dialogues, social workers address topics that are relevant to children's well‐being and safety. In doing so, they inevitably prioritize one conversational direction over another. This means that while one topic is being addressed, other possible topics are put on hold or are simply never developed.

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...

Gas lasers with wave-chaotic resonators
, 2010 Semiclassical multimode laser theory is extended to gas lasers with open two-dimensional resonators of arbitrary shape. The Doppler frequency shift of the linear-gain coefficient leads to an additional linear coupling between the modes, which, however ...
