A Coupled Extended Finite Element–Cohesive Zone Model for Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Under Poroelastic Effects Across Different Propagation Regimes

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 11, Page 4518-4540, 10 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...

When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.

Oropharyngeal wooden stick injury in a European shorthair cat

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract A 3‐year‐old European shorthair cat presented with dysphagia. Oral examination under sedation revealed a wooden stick that had penetrated orally through the soft palate. The presumed distal extent of the stick could be palpated subcutaneously behind the base of the left ear. Computed tomography showed a tubular foreign body with perforation of

Optimizing the Rainwater Harvesting and Roof Sprinkling System to Adapt to Urban Extreme Heat

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Roof watering is a novel strategy for reducing air conditioning energy consumption and mitigating excess urban heat, yet its application is often constrained by water availability. To address this challenge, we propose an adaptation strategy that integrates rainwater harvesting tank with roof sprinkling to strengthen urban heat resilience.

Instrumentos que avaliam a mobilidade de crianças e adolescentes com transtorno do espectro autista: Uma revisão sistemática e mapa de decisão

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page e118-e132, August 2026.
Objetivos Identificar os instrumentos padronizados usados para avaliar aspectos de mobilidade em crianças e adolescentes com transtorno do espectro autista (TEA), analisar a qualidade de suas propriedades psicométricas e seu nível de evidência, e desenvolver um mapa de decisão clínica para esses instrumentos.

Ecological and functional effects of habitat conversion and seasons on fruit‐feeding butterfly assemblages in tropical dry forests Efeitos ecológicos e funcionais da conversão do habitat e da sazonalidade sobre assembleias de borboletas frugívoras em florestas tropicais secas

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 760-773, August 2026.
Land‐use change and seasonality shape the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of fruit‐feeding butterflies in tropical dry forests. Pastures reduce phylogenetic diversity and increase wing fluctuating asymmetry, while taxonomic and functional diversity is greater in the wet season than in the dry season.

Parental Time Use and the Gendered Socialization of Adolescents' Housework in China: A Cumulative Perspective

open access: yesJournal of Marriage and Family, Volume 88, Issue 4, Page 974-989, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examines how parental housework time and labor market participation during early childhood are associated with adolescents' housework participation. Background Prior research shows that parental time use is associated with adolescents' housework in gendered ways.

Effects of Meal Consumption on Isotonic Lingual Endurance in Healthy Adults: A Multi‐Institutional Study

open access: yesJournal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 53, Issue 8, Page 1436-1446, August 2026.
Isotonic tongue endurance was measured pre‐ and post‐meal using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) in healthy younger (18–35 years) and older (≥ 65 years) adults. Older adults demonstrated greater isotonic endurance and longer mealtimes, with no sex differences in endurance.
