Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Journal of Materials Research and TechnologyIn 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 ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Reliability and Validity of Ankle Muscle Strength Testing Using the ISOTIB Device
Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction One repetition maximum (1RM) testing is recognised as a reliable and valid method for determining maximum muscle strength. However, there are limited reports in the literature for measuring maximum ankle strength using free‐weight methods.

Plastic behavior and shakedown limit of defected pressurized pipe under cyclic bending moment
Journal of Engineering and Applied SciencePipelines 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 ...

Rank expectations, feedback and social hierarchies [PDF]
We develop and test experimentally a theoretical model of the role of self-esteem, generated by private feedback regarding relative performance, on the behavior of agents working on an effort provision task for a flat wage.

Hybrid Data‐Driven and Physics‐Informed Learning of Cyclic Plasticity For Pipe Steel
Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT An efficient and explainable machine learning (ML) approach is presented, replacing conventional material models based on the radial return mapping (RRM) algorithm for the constitutive modeling of cyclic plasticity in 3D. The application of transfer learning, based on an existing model for a separate class of steel, leads to a significant ...

Equilibrium incentives for adopting cleaner technology under emissions pricing [PDF]
Policymakers sometimes presume that adopting a less polluting technology necessarily improves welfare. This view is generally mistaken. Adopting a cleaner technology is costly, and this cost must be weighed against the technology's benefits in reduced ...

Allosteric Regulation of RNA Affinity by Motif V‐VI Coupling in West Nile Virus NS3 Helicase
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 6, Page 1212-1224, June 2026.ABSTRACT The rise of flaviviral diseases, including West Nile virus (WNV), presents a growing threat to global public health and underscores the urgent need for new therapeutic strategies. The non‐structural protein 3 helicase (NS3h) of the Orthoflavivirus genus, including WNV, is essential for viral replication and a promising antiviral target ...

Digital Transformation of Retail Work: The Rise of Chaotic Rationalisation
British Journal of Industrial Relations, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 378-393, June 2026.ABSTRACT We examine how new digital technologies are transforming labour processes in frontline jobs in United States (US) store‐based retail, examining the US as an extreme case of labour market liberalisation. Research on technological change presents three scenarios: job displacement, job enrichment and ‘digital Taylorism’ involving heightened ...
