Investigating Crack Resistance Behavior of Polypropylene Using J integral, J‐R Curve and Fractographic Analysis

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 ...

Development of seismic fragility curves for buried sewer pipelines and considerations of their applicability: case study on damage estimation of the sewer pipeline network in Lima, Peru

Urban Lifeline
Seismic damage data for buried sewer pipelines affected by six earthquakes in Japan were analyzed to construct fragility curves considering pipe type, pipe diameter, liquefaction occurrence, and ground conditions.

Acute freshwater CO2 exposure does not impair seawater transfer in three different sizes of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) subjected to different photoperiod manipulations

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a growing interest in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture to extend the time fish are reared in freshwater (FW) recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), producing larger FW salmon that can then be induced to undergo smoltification before transfer into marine net pens for grow‐out and harvest.

Assessment of two minimally invasive methodologies for sex identification in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sex is an important driver of variation in behaviour, ecology and physiology. Sex identification in the Critically Endangered European eel (Anguilla anguilla) currently requires fish sacrifice, or the use of morphological differences such as body length, which can be inaccurate in certain habitats and at intermediate body lengths.

“Me and God, We're Good”: Abortion Morality and Protestant Women Having Abortions in the South

Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how 84 Protestant women in the South understand the morality of their abortion decisions, offering a nuanced perspective on the complex relationship between religion and abortion and revealing that many women navigate abortion decisions with theological depth, moral reasoning, and a profound sense of responsibility.

Mutual Outsourcing in a Vertically Related Market With Strategic Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility

The Manchester School, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study considers mutual outsourcing firms in a vertically related market and examines their strategic adoption of environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) activities. We demonstrate that ECSR adoption reduces mutual outsourcing firms' profits, resulting in a prisoner's dilemma situation, but enhances welfare regardless of ...

“Nowhere else to go”: Slow abandonment and (en)closures of long‐term care in Los Angeles

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residential long‐term care facilities, known in California as “board and care” homes, have been closing rapidly in the last decade. Proponents assert these provide vital forms of housing and care to the poor and must be saved, while critics contend they perpetuate the institutionalization of people with disabilities and should be abolished ...

Rupture Disc Opening Property for Using Pipe Rupture Test in JAERI

Rupture Disc Opening Property for Using Pipe Rupture Test in JAERI
日本原子力研究所構造強度研究室では想定破断に基づく軽水型原子炉1次系配管の瞬時破断試験を行っている。破断方法はラプチャーディスクをマーク放電により破裂させ模擬している。ラプチャーディスクの開口時問特性は配管の過渡的なスラスト力に影響を与えるために、その特性を実験的に求めておく必要がある。しかし高温・高圧水条件下での破裂特性は破裂と共にフラシュングが起るために容易でない。このために、本報では電気的な接点の方法でその特性を測定した結果について記述した。その結果、6インチに径の破断試験についてのラプチャーディスクの開口に致る遅延時間が判明した。また、この電気的な開口接点信号から開口の情報が得られ、これから開口の近似的なモデルが作成できた。

Extracting vitalities: Cuts in Indigenous women's bodies‐territories (Brazil)

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I explore the connections between the medicalization of childbirth and environmental devastation through Guarani‐Mbyá understandings of life and the living. I argue that the cuts made to Guarani‐Mbyá women's vaginas (episiotomies) in Brazilian hospitals are experienced and situated on the same cosmopolitical level as the cuts ...
