Annual Research Review: Associations of socioeconomic status with cognitive function, language ability, and academic achievement in youth: a systematic review of mechanisms and protective factors

open access: yesJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 417-439, April 2025.
Low socioeconomic status (SES) is negatively associated with children's cognitive and academic performance, leading to long‐term educational and economic disparities. In particular, SES is a powerful predictor of executive function (EF), language ability, and academic achievement.

Benchmarking Signorini and exponential contact laws for an industrial train brake squeal application [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Contact representation of structure interactions for finite element models is nowadays of great interest in the industry. Two contact modellig strategies exist in the literature, either based on a perfect contact with no interpenetration of structures at

Impact Analysis of Brake Pad Backplate Structure and Friction Lining Material on Disc-Brake Noise

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
This study proposes a three-layer brake pad design, on which a six-DOF dynamic model of brake disc-brake pad is established, and the factors affecting the system instability are analyzed.

On the Design of Running Gears with Radial Steering Wheel Sets

open access: yesCommunications, 2003
Noise reduction of railway vehicles can be reached by suitable design of their bogies and running gears. Radial steering wheel sets avoid curve squeal. Besides they reduce lateral forces between the wheel and rail and their wear.

From Christian Confession to “Speaking Your Truth”: A Genealogy of Lived Experience as Truth‐Telling

open access: yesSociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article offers a sociological genealogy of “lived experience” as a mode of truth‐telling. It asks how narrated life came to function as knowledge and why such speech now circulates as evidence in activism, academia, and social policy. Using a Foucauldian genealogy, the analysis traces the shifting conditions under which speech became ...

Pin-on-Disc Experimental Study of Thermomechanical Processes Related to Squeal Occurrence

open access: yesLubricants
Squeal refers to a sustained high-intensity noise resulting from friction-induced vibrations. Although it is known that it originates from mode coupling, the conditions under which it occurs are still unclear, especially regarding the contact conditions.

The Diremption of Meaning

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Examining work by Rowan Williams, this essay explores what he often refers to as the ‘difficulty’ of writing theology. The difficulty of theology lies in engaging the ruse of having ultimate answers to ultimate questions. The stakes are high: ‘God‐talk’ must concern itself with truth, with reality.

The measurement of the absolute displacement of a noisy disc brake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The investigation of in-plane vibration of a noisy disc brake is problematic because it is difficult both to measure and to verify. Because of the disc structure and the inability to visualize disc in-plane vibration, there has been reluctance by ...

Christian Humanism in the Black Atlantic: The Case of Olaudah Equiano

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores Olaudah Equiano as a pivotal figure in the emergence of a Christian humanism forged within the Black Atlantic. Building on the analyses of Sylvia Wynter and Paul Gilroy, it examines how Equiano's The Interesting Narrative contests the racial figuration of the human that underwrote the development of racial capitalism and ...

Uncertainty analysis for the prediction of disc brake squeal propensity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
© 2017 Institute of Noise Control Engineering. All rights reserved. ACT Since brake squeal was first investigated in the 1930s, it has been a noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) problem plaguing the automotive industry due to warranty-related claims and
