The uncomfortable science in the womb: How biological experience disrupts surrogacy narratives
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract The discourse surrounding surrogacy portrays pregnancy as a temporary process, depicting surrogates as neutral “carriers” whose involvement concludes at birth. This narrative minimizes gestation's biological significance despite evidence of its lasting effects on both women and children.

Top-down cracking in Italian motorway pavements: A case study
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2020 Top-down cracking (TDC) is a distress affecting asphalt pavements and consists of longitudinal cracks that initiate on the pavement surface and propagate downwards. In general, TDC is more critical in the case of thick pavements with open-graded friction
