Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 441-452, March 2025.Three poly(caprolactone) (PCL)‐based additives of differing molecular weights were used as a secondary plasticizer to prevent gas checks in PVC films produced through calendering. Results showed that chemical and physicochemical properties influence the prevention or reduction of gas checks, unlike rheological properties including complex viscosity and

A 3D PUSHOVER ANALYSIS PROCEDURE FOR ESTIMATING THE SEISMIC CAPACITY OF YOGYAKARTA PANTI RAPIH HOSPITAL [PDF]
, 2004 This paper extends the pushover analysis to take the three dimensional effect into account and assuming the floors act as rigid diaphragms. Based columns pushover hinges are studied in this case. In this analysis, Etabs nonlinear version 7.20 is used for

Riding out the storm: Behavioural responses of a large herbivore to high‐Arctic winds
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Using 11 years of GPS data from 61 muskoxen in Northeast Greenland, we show how increasing wind speed and Arctic storms reshape movement modes and habitat selection. Muskoxen respond by bedding in dense vegetation, prioritizing energy conservation over foraging, revealing a simple behavioural strategy with potential fitness consequences under ...

Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article argues that marriage was central to historical change in the Yoruba‐speaking region of West Africa during the eighteenth century. It draws on ìtàn, a distinct oral source, to show that conjugality shaped Yoruba processes of urbanisation and political centralisation, gendered divisions of labour and social innovation and creativity.

Methodological Challenges in Studying Wealthy Families
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Studying the wealthy is not easy. This piece provides suggestions for recruitment, interview strategies, and design to gain high‐quality data on wealthy people. It is based on an interview study of 81 US racially‐diverse families with a median net worth of $25 million. First, to gain access to the wealthy, it is key for the researcher to use a
