Rearrangement Towards Stability: Plastic Shakedown in Granular Materials Under Thermal Cycles

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Granular materials are routinely subjected to thermal cycling due to natural and anthropogenic phenomena. Despite the ubiquity of this occurrence and its relevance for science, engineering, and technology, the long‐term thermo‐mechanical response of granular materials to repeated heating and cooling remains poorly understood.

Effects of adjustable‐volume transfemoral prosthetic sockets on balance and falls: A randomized clinical trial

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adjustable‐volume prosthetic sockets have been developed to allow users to accommodate volume fluctuations throughout the day. Improvement in socket fit is thought to enhance the connection between the user's residual limb and prosthesis and may therefore improve postural control and balance.

Crack growth based life prediction approach under LCF-HCF interaction

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2019
Prediction of cyclic life under low cycle fatigue - high cycle fatigue (LCF-HCF) interaction is of paramount importance in the context of structural integrity of components in the primary side of fast reactors where such damage under LCF-HCF interaction ...

Molecular Active Matter, Kinetic Asymmetry, and Non‐Reciprocal Interactions

Small, EarlyView.
Nanoscale enzymes constitute dissipative active matter that converts scalar energy input into vectorial outputs. Through kinetic and diffusion asymmetry, they break time and space symmetry, resulting in directional motion. This mechanism accounts for both positive and negative chemotaxis, as well as non‐reciprocal interactions between enzymes that ...

Ratcheting and tumbling motion of Vibrots

New Journal of Physics, 2016
Systems of granular rotors (Vibrots), that is, small devices that convert linear vibrational motion into rotation by frictional impact, are of scientific interest since they could reveal various types of collective behavior. Looking at an isolated Vibrot,

The Feasibility of Household Food Waste Reduction in Finland: Insights From Five Consumer Profiles

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We apply a household production framework to analyse how changes in cooking skills, waste‐abatement costs and wage rates influence the food waste behaviour of five consumer profiles in Finland. We find that achieving a given reduction in food waste through skill‐enhancing interventions induces larger behavioural adjustments than equivalent ...

Promoting Precarity or Creating Cushions? Examining Canadians' Experiences With Financialization and Insecurity Across the Life Course

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines experiences and perceptions of economic insecurity across individual social trajectories within the context of pervasive financialization in Canada. Drawing on a comprehensive pan‐Canadian survey (n = 7483) and set of interviews (n = 127) collected as part of the Great Canadian Class Study (GCCS), we use a mixed‐methods ...

How Due Diligence Transforms Private Sustainability Governance: The Case of the Global Organic Textile Standard

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing awareness of social and environmental risks in global supply chains has driven a shift from voluntary corporate responsibility toward mandatory due diligence legislation. These emerging regulatory frameworks require businesses to identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse human rights and environmental impacts, thereby redefining the ...
