Getting to the Core of the Matter—Assessing the Role of Replication in Metabarcoding‐Based sedaDNA

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Replication is central to most experimental and sampling designs, increasing inferential power and capturing fine‐scale data heterogeneity. However, its importance remains poorly evaluated in some ecological and evolutionary settings. This is the case of metabarcoding studies using DNA recovered from sedimentary archives, in which biological ...

Modal Analysis of a Multi-Supported Beam: Macroscopic Models and Boundary Conditions

Mathematics
This paper deals with the long-wavelength behaviour of a Euler beam periodically supported by co-located rotation and compression springs. An asymptotic homogenization method is applied to derive the several macroscopic models according to the stiffness ...

Mineral Stabilization of Soil Organic Sulfur at the Continental Scale

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
The conventional whole‐soil view treats soil organic sulfur (S) as a single bulk pool, obscuring the mechanisms governing its transformation, stabilization, and availability. Separating organic S into particulate organic sulfur (POS) and mineral‐associated organic sulfur (MAOS) distinguishes their contrasting sources, microbial transformations, and ...

Calculation of effective constitutive stiffness matrices for a geocell layer and analysis of reinforcement mechanisms in geocell-reinforced embankments

Frontiers in Built Environment
In this study, by incorporating the transverse shear stiffness matrix E derived from unit-cell analysis, the geocell layer in geocell-reinforced soil structures was, for the first time, integrated as an equivalent anisotropic thick plate into a full ...

Environmental Filtering, Spatial Structure and Species Associations Shape Estuarine Shorebird Metacommunities Across a Continental Network

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Australian estuaries provide important non‐breeding habitat near the southern end of the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, but many are affected by coastal modification, vegetation expansion and changing hydrological conditions. We examined how habitat composition, habitat configuration, regional connectivity and residual species ...

Cross-Scale Reliability Analysis Framework for LNG Storage Tanks Considering Concrete Material Uncertainty

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The reliability of liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks is an important factor that must be considered in their structural design. Concrete is a core component of LNG storage tanks, and the geometric uncertainty of concrete aggregate material has a ...

Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Screening to Identify Small Molecules Inhibiting Transglutaminase 2 for Investigation and Treatment of Breast Cancer

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐guided screening of nearly 10 million molecules hit the bull’s‐eye: G11, a new nonpeptidic inhibitor of transglutaminase 2. A stepwise path from in silico ranking to cell and biochemical assays identified G11 as the top hit. It induced apoptosis in transglutaminase 2 (TG2)‐rich breast cancer cells and inhibited purified TG2,

ML‐Accelerated Framework for Fatigue Life‐Timescale Homogenization and Cyclic Damage Evolution Under Physics Constraints

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.
ABSTRACT Predicting structural lifetime under complex loading remains a major challenge in computational mechanics, especially for high cycle fatigue in large scale systems such as aircraft, bridges, and wind turbines. This difficulty arises from the need to capture fatigue damage accumulation, crack initiation, crack growth across scales, and life ...
