Hydraulic fast‐setting calcium silicate cement for crown cementation
Abstract Purpose This study evaluated film thickness, diametral tensile strength (DTS), and crown retentive strength of hydraulic fast‐set calcium silicate cement (fast‐set CSC) compared to conventional luting cements. Materials and Methods Fast‐set CSC was compared to zinc phosphate cement and glass ionomer cement.

Simplified model for upper bound method to analyze horizontal bearing capacity of torpedo anchors
The bearing capacity of torpedo anchors is the major concern for the marine industry. In this study, a simple model is proposed to calculate their horizontal bearing capacity based on the upper-bound limit analysis of plasticity.

Federalism in Post‐Assad Syria: Toward Durable Peace in a Pluralist Society
Abstract Syria's civil war has left behind a fractured state. While the new president, Ahmed al‐Sharaa, seeks to unify the country and restore centralized governance, this appears unworkable. Instead, this article contends, asymmetrical federalism offers a pathway toward stability.

Mutations in M2 alter the selectivity of the mouse nicotinic acetylcholine receptor for organic and alkali metal cations [PDF]
We measured the permeability ratios (PX/PNa) of 3 wild-type, 1 hybrid, 2 subunit-deficient, and 22 mutant nicotinic receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes for alkali metal and organic cations using shifts in the bi-ionic reversal potential of the ...

Contextualising Hohfeld's Analysis of Rights: Legal Relations and the Rule of Law
Abstract More than a century ago, W. N. Hohfeld offered the most influential analysis of rights to date. However, his classification has rarely been received without criticism. Many of the objections to his framework stem from the longstanding debate between interest and will theories of rights.

ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Roadblock Geographies: A Typology of Extraction, Circulation, and Authority in Conflict
Short Abstract This article develops a typology of roadblock geographies in conflict‐affected borderlands as extractive landscapes. Drawing on transport geography, it identifies how infrastructural variation—footpaths, roads and ports—shapes who extracts rents, how and to what effect.
