The effects of chemical treatments on the abrasion resistance of wool fabrics [PDF]
, 1981 The low abrasion resistance of wool fabrics compared with many man-made fibre fabrics is known to be a frequent cause of consumer dissatisfaction particularly in pure wool suiting fabrics. Accordingly this project was undertaken to attempt to improve the

A Two‐Step Procedure for Generating Domestic and Asymmetric Trade Costs When Data Are Scarce
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The practice of domestic trade cost measurement faces several challenges related to data quality, methodology and theory; but the major issue is that of data scarcity. Due to these facts, both domestic and asymmetric trade costs have been ignored despite being a feature of modern trade models.

Must Longtermists Wish Us All Dead? A Quadrilemma
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Longtermists assign great moral importance to making the long‐term future as good as possible, especially by ensuring the survival of humanity. We argue, to the contrary, that on assumptions that are plausible, conservative, or shared by leading longtermists, human extinction will likely augment total utility among human and non‐human animals ...

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.Thin‐channel magnetic analytical platforms integrate magnetically controlled transport with confined laminar flow to enable quantitative bioanalysis. By coupling field‐induced migration with outlet fractionation, particle deposition, or affinity capture, these platforms merge SPLITT separation, magnetophoresis, and magnetic immunoassays.
