Winston Churchill and France: A Certain Ideal

History, Volume 111, Issue 395, Page 183-200, March 2026.
Abstract This article examines relations between Winston Churchill and France. It argues that Churchill was sympathetic to France and, in particular, unusual among Englishmen of his generation in being sympathetic to its political system, but also that this sympathy did not make Churchill consistent in his relations with France.

‘Three Circles’: Winston Churchill's Approach to International Relations

History, Volume 111, Issue 395, Page 155-167, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article introduces a special issue that explores Winston Churchill's relationship with different countries. As its starting point, this piece takes Churchill's world view that Britain derived her status from its position at the focal point of three intersecting circles: Europe, the British Empire and the wider English‐speaking world ...

PREAMBULAR HISTORY: THE VIEW OF THE PAST IN KEY HUMAN RIGHTS INSTRUMENTS

History and Theory, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-31, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article claims that the preambles of foundational human rights instruments, taken together, articulate a consistent view of the past. This view is firmly rooted in historical processes, embedded in metaphysical truths, and enacted in service of the future. Part 1 assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the “preambular approach to history”

Eggs and Associated Nutrients: Implications for Brain Development and Function From Conception to Early Adulthood: A Narrative Review

Nutrition Bulletin, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 46-66, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Brain development is an ongoing process that occurs throughout the first 1000 days of life (conception until 2 years) and proceeds throughout childhood, adolescence and up until early adulthood. Adequate nutrient intakes are crucial for both neurodevelopment inside the womb and critical life‐stages thereafter when the brain continues to grow ...

An Ustilaginoidea virens Nuclear Effector SCRE7 Inhibits Rice Immunity via Suppressing OsLBD11/12‐Promoted Transcription of OsCPS2

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1305-1321, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi secrete a great number of effector proteins into various organelles of host plants and suppress plant immunity through different mechanisms. In this study, we identify SCRE7 as a unique nuclear effector that is essential for U. virens infection.

Semi‐Volatile Organic Partitioning Improves Simulation of Biomass Burning Aerosol Mixing State Evolution

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Biomass burning aerosols significantly contribute to atmospheric composition and radiative forcing, with black carbon (BC) mixing states critically influencing optical properties and climate impacts. Recent field observations reveal a systematic three‐phase evolution in BC coating thickness during plume aging: rapid initial growth, quasi ...

Non‐Volatile Particulate Matter as Cores Driving Aerosol Mixing States and Light Absorption

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The mixing state of light‐absorbing particles critically influences aerosol optical properties, thereby affecting global radiative forcing. This study focuses on non‐volatile particulate matter (NV‐PM)—the fraction remaining after thermal denudation at 300°C—has received limited attention.

Temporal Evolution of Soot Particles from C2H2/O2 Combustion in a Closed Chamber

Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 2002
An experimental study of soot formation in C2H2/O2 flames at different C/O ratios in a closed chamber was carried out. The evolution temporal behavior and the volume fraction of soot particles were determined by laser extinction.
