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

Journal 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.

Ratcheting of Steel Samples Undergoing Asymmetric Loading Cycles at Elevated Operating Temperatures: Analytical and Numerical Assessments

Applied Sciences
The present study intends to assess the ratcheting response of SA508 and SA333 steel alloys subjected to asymmetric loading cycles at various operating temperatures of 298, 573, and 623K through a hardening framework developed by Ahmadzadeh–Varvani (A-V)

Wear Assessment in High Cycle Rolling Contact Fatigue Using Semi-Analytical Approach [PDF]

Transactions of the VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava, Mechanical Series, 2013
Presented paper deals with ratcheting prediction in the field of contact fatigue for the case of line contact. For the stated purposes, the wear model proposed by A. Mazzu [1] is used, which stands out for its simplicity and time efficiency. The model is

Climate Change and Labor in a Globalized World: Mitigation, Adaptation, Vulnerability

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 17, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Brick workers stack bricks in a Bangladeshi bull trench kiln. Credit: Mahmud Hossain Opu/Disaster Trade. ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly recognized as a labor issue. The world of work is not only a major site of environmental risk, but also a means by which environmental risks are structured and intensified.

Porosity‐Permeability Evolution of Carbonate Rocks Under Cyclic Hydrostatic Loading: Creep‐Fatigue Interaction and Implications for Hydrogen Storage

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Underground hydrogen storage in porous formations (UHSP) subjects reservoir rocks to long‐term cyclic effective stress variations, potentially altering storage capacity and injectivity. In this study, we conduct hydrostatic loading tests on 18 Saint‐Maximin limestone (SML) samples (connected porosity 31.9%–37.2%) under various loading paths ...

“I Have to Change Sometimes Little Pieces of Me so That I Don't Come Off a Certain Way”: Managing Black and Brown Identities at the White University

Sociological Inquiry, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 381-398, May 2026.
Black and Brown students report feeling isolated and out of place in U.S. universities, especially in predominately white institutions (PWIs), and there are a host of reasons for this. Because they are the numerical minority, Black and Brown students are highly visible others whose presence and behaviors stand out.

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

Mechanical 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

Creep-fatigue life assessment of cruciform weldments using the linear matching method [PDF]

, 2013
This paper presents a creep-fatigue life assessment of a cruciform weldment made of the steel AISI type 316N(L) and subjected to reversed bending and cyclic dwells at 550C using the Linear Matching Method (LMM) and considering different weld zones.
