Why did Putin invade Ukraine? A theory of degenerate autocracy

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Many dictatorships end up with a series of disastrous decisions such as Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union or Saddam Hussein's aggression against Kuwait. Even if a certain policy choice is not ultimately fatal for the regime, such as Mao's Big Leap Forward or the Pol Pot's collectivization drive, they typically involve both a miscalculation ...

Decline of Visual Function and Risk of Legal Blindness With Age in RPGR‐Associated Retinal Degeneration: A Multicenter Study

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This retrospective multicenter longitudinal analysis analysed the loss trajectory of best recorded visual acuity (BRVA) and Goldmann visual field (GVF) in RPGR‐associated retinal degeneration (RPGR‐RD). Methods Patients with genetically confirmed RPGR‐RD were classified into rod‐cone (RC), cone/cone‐rod (CR) and female‐carrier ...

Accelerated Fatigue Testing of High‐Speed Steel

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The staircase method is commonly employed in the characterization of metals to determine their fatigue limit. In this approach, the stress amplitude is systematically varied around the assumed fatigue limit in consecutive tests. However, its applicability for in‐process optimization in alloy design and development is limited by the large ...

Predicting Recovery After Joint Bleeding in Persons With Bleeding Disorders

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Joint bleeds are burdensome and recovery differs from bleed to bleed. Identifying predictors of recovery could enable personalized treatment and monitoring; aiming to prevent long‐term joint deterioration, and facilitate faster return to activities. Aim To identify predictors of time to recovery after joint bleeding in people with
