Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This study explores the effects of DNOP plasticizer on P(VDF‐TrFE‐CFE) terpolymers, revealing a strong synergy between chemical structure and physical properties. High TrFE bringing natural flexibility and CFE enhancing the plasticizer retention through theorized halogen bonds, ultra‐soft, crack‐free films of high permittivity and softness are ...

A Peridynamic Framework for Modeling Progressive Failure in Porous Sandstone Indentation
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A state‐based peridynamic model is proposed to simulate the failure mechanisms in porous rocks, using Bentheim sandstone as a specific example. Experimental observations reveal a transition from brittle to ductile failure under increasing triaxial compression. This behavior is attributed to pore compaction. The peridynamic model is enhanced to

Calculation of Weibull strength parameters and Batdorf flow-density constants for volume- and surface-flaw-induced fracture in ceramics [PDF]
The calculation of shape and scale parameters of the two-parameter Weibull distribution is described using the least-squares analysis and maximum likelihood methods for volume- and surface-flaw-induced fracture in ceramics with complete and censored ...

On Order Restricted Inference in Multi‐Step Stage Life Testing for a General Family of Distributions
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recently, k$$ k $$‐step stage life testing (SLT) has been proposed by Laumen and Cramer (2021) as a natural extension of progressive censoring with fixed censoring times (PC‐FCT) as well as of simple step‐stress accelerated life testing (SSALT).

An Exact Method for Reliable Shortest Path Problems With Correlation
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Shortest path problems often arise in contexts where travel times are uncertain. In these settings, reliable paths are often valued more than paths with lower expected travel times. This has led to several variants of reliable shortest path problems (RSPP) that handle travel time reliability differently. We propose an algorithmic framework for

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 523-539, March 2025.Abstract Ritonavir (RTV) is a potent CYP3A inhibitor that is widely used as a pharmacokinetic (PK) enhancer to increase exposure to select protease inhibitors. However, as a strong and complex perpetrator of CYP3A interactions, RTV can also enhance the exposure of other co‐administered CYP3A substrates, potentially causing toxicity.

A knowledge curse: how knowledge can reduce human welfare
Royal Society Open ScienceGreater knowledge is always an advantage for a rational individual. However, this article shows that for a group of rational individuals greater knowledge can backfire, leading to a worse outcome for all.
