Foreign Aid at a Crossroads: How Funding Cuts Reshape Global Development Cooperation
ABSTRACT Recent aid budget reductions among major donor countries have reignited debates over the future of international development cooperation, with several commentators warning of an impending collapse of the aid sector. Engaging with historical and critical development literature on aid cycles, donor motives, and the evolution of Official ...

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.

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 ...

Transient Propagation and Scattering of Quasi-Rayleigh Waves in Plates: Quantitative comparison between Pulsed TV-Holography Measurements and FC(Gram) elastodynamic simulations [PDF]
We study the scattering of transient, high-frequency, narrow-band quasi-Rayleigh elastic waves by through-thickness holes in aluminum plates, in the framework of ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT) based on full-field optical detection.

Conversational Democracy: Facilitating Children's ‘Unprompted Talk’ in Social Work Dialogues
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.

Ross Ice Shelf Displacement and Elastic Plate Waves Induced by Whillans Ice Stream Slip Events
Ice shelves are assumed to flow steadily from their grounding lines to the ice front. We report the detection of ice‐propagating extensional Lamb (plate) waves accompanied by pulses of permanent ice shelf displacement observed by co‐located Global ...

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics
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 ...
