Integrating the In‐Laws: Class and Kin Support Within Marriage in Urban Kenya

open access: yesJournal of Marriage and Family, Volume 88, Issue 3, Page 777-790, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study compares affinal kin relationships in low‐income and higher‐income families in Nairobi, Kenya. Background In most studies of kinship structure and relationships in sub‐Saharan Africa, culture serves as the basis upon which norms and expectations of kin are differentiated.

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 10, Page 1444-1474, May 2026.
AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.

Timing Mechanotransduction: Mechanically Dynamic Biomaterials Reveal the Temporal Hierarchy of YAP/TAZ Control Nodes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 30, 28 May 2026.
This work develops dynamically softening polyacrylamide hydrogels for time‐resolved imaging during continuous mechanical transitions. The study revealed that mechanotransduction is biphasic; YAP/TAZ inactivation is driven by early loss of the nucleocytoskeletal continuum connecting subnuclear adhesions, F‐actin, and the nuclear envelope, coupled with ...

Ratcheting Strain Accumulation Due to Asymmetric Cyclic Loading of Zircaloy-2 at Room Temperature

open access: yes, 2016
Asymmetric stress cycling leads to accumulation of plastic strain which is called as ratcheting strain. The problem is generally associated with nuclear fuel cladding materials used in nuclear power plants and in pressurized pipe lines.

Study on a unified criterion for preventing plastic strain accumulation due to long distance travel of temperature distribution

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2017
The prevention of excessive deformation by thermal ratcheting is important in the design of high-temperature components of fast breeder reactors (FBR). In an experimental study that simulated a fast breeder reactor vessel near the coolant surface, it was

True stress-controlled ratcheting behavior of 304LN stainless steel

open access: yes, 2012
Cyclic plastic deformation response of materials under asymmetric stress cycling is known as ratcheting. Combined effect of fatigue and permanent tensile strain accumulation results in early failure of materials during ratcheting.

Local Ratcheting Response in Dissimilar Metal Weld Joint: Characterization Through Digital Image Correlation Technique

open access: yes, 2017
Ratcheting fatigue behavior of different alloys and their weld joints has been a topic of interest in the past few decades. However, little information is available about the ratcheting response in different zones, when a composite weld section is ...
