Scale‐robust fibre orientation analysis of hair using two‐dimensional Fourier transform

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 539-548, June 2026.
We present a simple and robust method to quantify hair fibre orientation using 2D‐DFT. It works with standard images and extracts directional features at multiple scales. This enables objective evaluation of cosmetic treatments and product effects. Abstract Objective To address the current lack of standardized tools for evaluating hair appearance in ...

Commercial clays in cosmetic formulations for hair care: Characterization and application to improve the mechanical properties of hair fibre

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 549-561, June 2026.
The shampoo and conditioner bar formulations enhanced hair gloss, promoting softness, improved cuticle alignment, and effective protection of hair shafts against external aggressors. Findings from mechanical properties measurements indicate that the clay‐containing formulations enhance the mechanical strength of hair, contributing to stronger and more ...

Highly Trained Female Runners Show Greater Durability and Physiological Resilience Than Performance‐Matched Male Counterparts

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Endurance performance determinants are typically assessed under fresh conditions, although physiological and mechanical characteristics deteriorate during prolonged exercise, a phenomenon recently termed durability or resilience. However, it is unclear whether durability and mechanisms underpinning it differ between sexes.

Streaming potential analysis of hair variation: Ethnicities and environmental exposures

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 230-242, April 2026.
Ethnicity and weathering shape electrokinetic behaviour and particle deposition in hair. ζ‐potential magnitudes ranked Caucasian > Indian > Chinese with no significant root‐tip variations. Deposition patterns generally correlate with ζ‐potential but differ by ethnicity, implicating other factors.

Reinventing henna: Enzyme‐catalysed colour release from stabilized Lawsonia inermis L. extracts

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 310-326, April 2026.
The instability and reduced dyeing performance of a cosmetic formulation containing 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone (lawsone), derived from Lawsonia inermis L., is demonstrated in comparison to a novel two‐component system. This system comprises one formulation with naturally occurring lawsone precursors and a second containing a specific hydrolase ...

Text and Topos: British Travellers to Real‐and‐Imagined Classical Sites, c. 1560–1820

History, Volume 110, Issue 393, Page 588-605, December 2025.
Abstract Early‐modern British travellers to the Mediterranean often understood their journeys through the lens of classical texts and culture. Historians sometimes explain this as an imaginative phenomenon: travellers’ preconceptions shaped by classical knowledge guided their subsequent comprehension and activity.

Development of the Hair & Scalp CARE questionnaire: Measuring the impact of hair and scalp issues on psychological wellbeing in healthy populations

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 807-819, October 2025.
The Hair & Scalp CARE questionnaire is a validated tool for assessing the impact of hair and scalp condition on psychological wellbeing. The present data also suggest greater hair and scalp wellbeing is linked to lower levels of perceived stress and good sleep health.

Colloquium : disclination loops, point defects, and all that in nematic liquid crystals [PDF]

, 2012
The homotopy theory of topological defects is a powerful tool for organizing and unifying many ideas across a broad range of physical systems. Recently, experimental progress was made in controlling and measuring colloidal inclusions in liquid ...

Evaluation of potential irrigation water savings by assessing the soil water balance in a vineyard in central Chile

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 316-331, February 2025.
Abstract The main aim of this study was to evaluate the potential savings of irrigation water by assessing the soil water balance during the growing season in a wine vineyard in the Maule region, Chile. This study provides insights into the influences of different irrigation water applications on soil water status and its potential effects on grape ...
