Conventional cemented carbide is recommended for machining Ti6Al4V. However, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (pcBN) also show promise. Demands for higher productivity accelerate diffusional dissolution and chemically driven wear mechanisms in these tool materials. This study investigates active wear mechanisms by studying the interactions between Ti6Al4V and P

This chapter reviews the data on occurrence of cancers that are potentially caused by alcohol drinking (cancers of the upper gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, and liver cancer) in relation to social class. In order to assess the role of alcohol drinking in the observed social class gradients of these cancers, we have particularly looked for consistency in the gradients of different alcohol-

Recent decades have seen a blurring of the line between extremist movements and mainstream politics, driven by rising sectarian polarization. This development has been linked to digital media, with suggestions that so-called echo chambers may drive political radicalization. To understand the social processes taking place inside such digital spaces, this article draws on Randall Collins and the Dur

Post-normal science (PNS) has long advocated the inclusion of stakeholders in scientific processes where there is uncertainty, urgency and high stakes. Increasingly, however, such conditions have become recognised as the norm. Using the theoretical perspective of PNS, we examine the interactions between public objection, unstable coalition politics and uncertain environmental assessment knowledge

China is using Buddhist narratives to promote its soft power in Sri Lanka – and bolster its image as a harmonious regional power.

The efficiency of gold complexes featuring di- or tri-pyridine scaffolds in inhibiting human aquaporins have been previously investigated. They have returned promising results in cancer treatment and have been suggested to be potentially applied against malaria too. ([Au(bipy) Cl_2]+)., ([Au(phen)Cl_2]+) and ([Au(terpy)Cl]2+) in all their possible forms in solution, were computationally studied us

The purpose of this study is to answer in what ways EU regulation and national strategies protect individuals under the age of majority from the misuse of artificial intelligence. This is done by examining the Commission's current proposal for the Artificial Intelligence Act, and by analyzing the national AI strategies in twelve Member States. Additionally, AI experts are interviewed about chi

This paper documents different attitudes towards local renewable energy technology (RET) projects in Denmark among two key RET stakeholder groups, permanent area residents (PRs) and second home owners (SHOs). It does so via survey data collected from almost 2000 respondents during a Danish near-shore wind farm tender. Judging by this data, local PRs are positive towards the planned local RETs, whi

Public engagement in local environmental planning and decision-making is often advocated on various grounds, both instrumental and normative. Yet in developed countries in the context of renewable energy infrastructure deployment, place attachment, place identity and place-protective action continue to be implicated in public objection. We set out an interdisciplinary change readiness hypothesis o

Women tend to have lower interest in engineering as compared to men, which previous research has shown is partly explained by gender differences in self-efficacy, social belongingness and communal career goals. Therefore, to attract more women to engineering, effective interventions are needed that target these factors. In this study, we evaluated an industry-designed intervention for high school
