Strain hardening behavior of HDPE geomembranes [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The strain hardening behavior is a good measure for the stress cracking resistance of HDPE geomembranes. Influences of the testing parameters temperature and cross head speed on the strain hardening modulus in material testing of PE were quantified.

Human Population Density is a Poor Predictor of Debris in the Environment
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 There have been a variety of attempts to model and quantify the amount of land-based waste entering the world’s oceans, most of which rely heavily on global estimates of population density as the key driving factor.

Single-sided NMR for the measurement of the degree of cross-linking and curing [PDF]
Journal of Sensors and Sensor Systems, 2018 The degree of cross-linking and curing is one of the most important values concerning the quality of cross-linked polyethylene (PE-X) and the functionality of adhesives and resin-based components. Up to now, the measurement of this property has mostly

Sensory plasticity in a socially plastic bee [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2022 AbstractThe social Hymenoptera have contributed much to our understanding of the evolution of sensory systems. Attention has focussed chiefly on how sociality and sensory systems have evolved together. In the Hymenoptera, the antennal sensilla are important for optimizing the perception of olfactory social information.

Plasticity, plasticity, plasticity…and the rigid problem of sex [PDF]
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2013 Why is popular understanding of female-male differences still based on rigid models of development, even though contemporary developmental sciences emphasize plasticity? Is it because the science of sex differences still works from the same rigid models?

Developmental Cell, 2013 Pancreas homeostasis is based on replication of differentiated cells in order to maintain proper organ size and function under changing physiological demand. Recent studies suggest that acinar cells, the most abundant cell type in the pancreas, are facultative progenitors capable of reverting to embryonic-like multipotent progenitor cells under injury ...
