Assessing Gray Zone Risks in East Asia: A Threat Classification Framework Using Taiwan's ADIZ as a Case Study

Asian Politics &Policy, Volume 18, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Gray‐zone activities have become a central feature of security competition in East Asia, particularly in the Taiwan Strait, where persistent military operations blur the boundary between coercion and armed conflict. This study develops a structured threat‐assessment framework for evaluating the intensity of PLA aerial gray‐zone pressure around

When Compromise Becomes Standoff: Joint Implementation and the Case of the European Public Prosecutor's Office

Governance, Volume 39, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This article explores endogenous problems of joint implementation in multi‐level systems. Focusing on the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), we theorize a causal mechanism of conflict deferral, whereby contentious negotiations are resolved through deliberately ambiguous legislation that postpones conflict to the implementation stage ...

Energy‐Efficient Combustion Technologies and Burner Designs for Glass Melting Furnaces

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Glass production is one of the most energy‑intensive manufacturing processes, requiring furnace temperatures above 1600°C. These temperatures depend on burners that must balance thermal efficiency with emission reductions. This article reviews the development of combustion systems in glass furnaces, focusing on their impact on energy ...

Multiple model tracking of manoeuvring targets accounting for standoff jamming information

IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation, 2013
An Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) algorithm for manoeuvring target tracking in the presence of standoff jammer is proposed. In the IMM, the conventional Gaussian likelihood is replaced with a Gaussian sum (GS) likelihood, derived from a sensor model accounting for both the measurements and jamming information.

From Plasma Chemistry to Adhesion Strength: Mechanical Characterization of Pure Versus Mixed Aminosilane Films for Bonding Polyurea to Aluminum

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
Plasma‐polymerized aminosilane films act as effective primers for bonding polyurea adhesives to aluminum. While pure APTES quadruples joint strength, co‐polymerization with silazanes or other monomers surprisingly degrades adhesion. This reveals a shift in the governing mechanism for adhesion: once a threshold of reactive surface amines is available ...

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

SmartBot, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

When machines invent: How AI shapes patent litigation outcomes

American Business Law Journal, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 177-187, Summer 2026.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer merely a tool of invention. It has become an inventor. As AI systems increasingly contribute to the design and discovery of new technologies, their involvement raises novel challenges for patent law. This essay presents the first empirical test of whether jurors systematically perceive alleged patent ...

Can You See Us Now? Negotiating Indigenous Citizenship at a Road Blockade in Argentinean Chaco

Area, Volume 58, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This paper explores the spatial dimension of Indigenous citizenship by examining how it is experienced, negotiated and enacted during a road blockade in the Argentinean Chaco. Stressing the political dimension of infrastructure, the paper highlights the blockade as a critical site and moment for observing the framing and reframing of ...
