The microstructure and texture effects on fatigue behavior of AZ31B magnesium induced by pre-strain along radial direction

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
In this study, compressional pre-strain was conducted on fatigue samples extracted from the AZ31B rod along the radial direction (RD), leading to the alteration of microstructure and texture, of which the impact on ratcheting behavior and fatigue life ...

Corporate Power in a Multistakeholder World: Venue Hopping and the Multilevel Politics of Ultra‐Processed Food

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The regulation of business is increasingly characterized by “soft” governance regimes that blur the boundaries of public and private authority, as signaled by the rapid proliferation of multistakeholder initiatives in global governance. This article explores how the spread of multistakeholderism creates opportunities for new forms of strategic

Powers and Practices in Labor Standards Enforcement

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wage theft remains a pervasive problem internationally and within the United States. In response, worker advocates have sought stronger laws to deter violations and promote compliance. Yet formal authority alone may be insufficient; labor departments often fail to use the full extent of their legal authority to conduct vigorous enforcement ...

Study on Cyclic Tensile Shakedown Behaviour of Flexible Risers Considering Winding Process

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Flexible risers are subjected to significant tensile loads during manufacturing, installation, and in-service phases, and they experience multiple cyclic tensile loads throughout their entire service life.

Vortex core deformation and stepper motor behavior in a superconducting ratchet

, 2011
We investigated experimentally the frequency dependence of a superconducting vortex ratchet effect by means of electrical transport measurements and modeled it theoretically using the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau formalism. We demonstrate that the high frequency vortex behavior can be described as a discrete motion of a particle in a periodic ...

A Complexity‐Based Approach to Migration Policy Change: The Case of the German Residence Act

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper adapts and applies existing indicators to measure the complexity of German migration policy over time. Building on recent scholarship that conceptualizes migration policy as multidimensional, I adapt a measurement strategy from the EUPLEX Project to capture three key components of regulatory complexity: structural, linguistic, and ...

Plastic behavior and shakedown limit of defected pressurized pipe under cyclic bending moment

Journal of Engineering and Applied Science
Pipelines subjected to thermal or mechanical loads may fail due to plastic strain accumulation which leads to ratcheting. In this research, cyclic plastic behavior and shakedown limit are investigated experimentally and numerically for a defected ...

A “Conveyor Belt” From International Standards to Domestic Regulation? Evidence From the International Political Economy of Net Zero Governance

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When and how do international standards influence domestic policies? The literature identifies a range of ways international standards may relate to domestic regulations—including by exporting, substituting, supplanting, or bolstering national rules—creating theoretical ambiguity.

The Environmental Race to the Bottom, Revisited

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study revisits the environmental race to the bottom thesis in the United States, which argues that states compete for mobile capital by relaxing environmental regulations. Examining state‐level enforcement of federal surface mining and air pollution control regulation over a 35‐year period, we find robust evidence of strategic interaction

‘I'm Dead!’: Action, Homicide and Denied Catharsis in Early Modern Spanish Drama

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In early modern Spanish drama, the expression ‘¡Muerto soy!’ (‘I'm dead!’) is commonly used to indicate a literal death or to figuratively express a character's extreme fear or passion. Recent studies, even one collection published under the title of ‘¡Muerto soy!’, have paid scant attention to the phrase in context, a serious omission when ...
