Hydraulic fast‐setting calcium silicate cement for crown cementation

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020
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.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
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

open access: yesArea, Volume 58, Issue 2, June 2026.
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.
