X Marks the Spot: Continuities of Colonial Spatial Exploitation in Luanshya, Zambia

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 3, September 2026.
Short Abstract This essay illustrates how a golf course serves as a site for continuities of colonial spatial exploitation in Luanshya, Zambia. In this discussion, we see how the ongoing neoliberal practices of privatisation enable conditions for extraction from cities that suffer state neglect and explores narratives of resistance.

A Multiple Soil Threats Assessment for Europe by 2050

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 9937-9952, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT European soils are exposed to multiple interacting soil threats (STs), challenging the European Commission's objective of restoring healthy soils by 2050. This study provides the first integrated EU‐scale projection of four major soil threats—soil compaction, soil organic carbon loss, soil erosion and soil sealing—under two IPCC climate ...

Nickel‐Based Anode Materials in Potassium‐Ion Batteries: A Review and Perspectives

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 16, 27 August 2026.
This circular diagram illustrates nickel‐based anode materials for batteries. Its inner core lists modification strategies: nanostructure design, heterostructure construction, and compositing with carbon. Six nickel compound categories (Ni–O, Ni–S, Ni–Se, Ni–Te, Ni–N, Ni–P) sit in the middle ring, matching outer applications including portable ...

Equivalent Subsurface Thermal Characteristics for Heterogeneous Surfaces

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Land‐surface and atmospheric models often represent subgrid‐scale variability using a single set of effective properties. Estimating these equivalent properties is critical for predicting land‐atmosphere exchanges accurately, but challenging when materials with distinct radiative and thermal characteristics coexist, particularly in urban ...

Evolution and Influence Analysis of Skid Resistance Performance in Steel Slag Ultra‐Thin Wearing Course Based on XGBoost‐SHAP Framework

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
An XGBoost‐SHAP framework accurately predicted skid resistance evolution in steel slag ultra‐thin wearing courses under accelerated loading. Surface texture amplitude (Rz, Rq) and loading cycles dominated BPN variation, while 50% steel slag replacement provided a cost‐effective balance between anti‐skid durability and material use.

A Sliding Time‐Window Energy Ratio Method for Weak Signal Enhancement of Deep Subgrade Voids in GPR Data

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
A sliding time‐window energy ratio method is proposed to enhance weak GPR reflections from deep pavement voids. By combining target‐window localization with same‐window normalization, STWER suppresses non‐target interference and improves defect localization, as demonstrated by numerical simulations and field cases verified by excavation and core ...

Effect of SBS Copolymer Molecular Structure on the Long‐Term Aging and Resilience of Asphalt Binders: A Multiscale Morphological Study

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
Vinyl content governs the long‐term ageing resistance of SBS‐modified bitumen. Multiscale AFM, FM, SEM, and FTIR analyses show that low‐vinyl SBS copolymers (L‐SBS, B‐SBS) undergo pronounced bee‐phase growth, stiffening, and network fragmentation after PAV ageing, whereas high‐vinyl variants (HV‐SBS, DB‐SB) retain their morphology and chemistry ...
