Cement Sheath Integrity in Oil and Gas Wells
The cement sheath is a crucial component of the wellbore system, responsible for maintaining structural integrity, and preventing leakage. Over the life cycle of oil and gas wells, load changes can lead to various cement failure modes, such as disking, radial cracks, and debonding fractures.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), increasingly utilized in cement‐bound materials, offer improved material properties and enhanced sustainability due to their bio‐based origin. Nanosilica (NS), known for its high reactivity and refinement of cement microstructure, also significantly impacts cement performance.

Constructing Difference: Maternal Boundary‐Work in Science‐Based and Natural Mom Groups on Facebook
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Boundary‐work describes the activities of social groups as they seek to differentiate themselves from others to establish credibility, authority, or to protect their interests. While a growing body of literature explores occupational boundary‐work in health care, limited research has focused on how lay actors practice boundary‐work online.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Games and gamification projects in the Australian public sector
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract This article surveys the arrival of gameful government into Australian public sector practice. Gameful government is a shorthand, descriptive term denoting the interpenetration of (video)games, and design elements and thinking from them, into public sector work.

Managing Capabilities for Achieving Net Zero via a Circular Economy: A Multilevel Framework
British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract Corporate management faces increasing pressure to achieve both net‐zero and circular economy (CE) goals. As organizations rarely manage this alone, they must develop novel capabilities within themselves and across their value chains and ecosystems. To explore capability development for achieveing net zero via circularity, we adopt a multilevel
