Fracture behaviour of V-notched specimens is assessed using two energy based criteria namely the averaged strain energy density (SED) and Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM). Two different formulations of FFM criterion are ...

Peracetic acid (PAA) is an oxidative disinfectant with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and low environmental impact. In this study, we investigated the physiological impacts of PAA application in Atlantic salmon ...

Purpose Acute bouts of exercise influence the communication and organization of brain networks, with exercise intensity and volume regarded as key moderators. However, differences in coordination demands and limb involvement ...

We report SESAM mode-locked, linear cavity thulium-doped fiber laser based on a highly Ge-doped active fiber and operating in the anomalous dispersion regime at 1.88 μm, producing 900-fs pulses amplified up to the 3.7-nJ energy.

Early kick/loss detection is a crucial part of safe well control, and it plays a major role in the reduction of risk and non-productive time in drilling. In conventional drilling, topside sensing is used for early kick/loss ...

Neighbourhoods in EU member states are ageing, increasingly becoming the subjects of geo-gerontology and supply network analyses. Geo-gerontological aspects of the care and supply networks are becoming essential in the ...

Asphalthenes are typically defined as the fraction of petroleum insoluble in n-alkanes (typically heptane, but also hexane or pentane) but soluble in toluene. This fraction causes problems of emulsion formation and ...

Background: Universal, high-quality childcare offers a unique opportunity to prevent developmental trajectories leading to mental health problems. Yet, growing evidence has shown that the process quality of Norwegian ...

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to explore the interrelationship between research ethics and research integrity with a focus on the primary forms of research misconduct, including plagiarism, fabrication, and ...
