Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

Inviscid analysis of jet injection between two moving streams [PDF]

open access: yes
An analytical method is developed for determining the flow interaction when a two-dimensional jet is injected between two moving streams. The jet is flowing out of channel and is turned as it enters between the external streams.

State‐space models and inference approaches for aquatic animal tracking with passive acoustic telemetry and biologging sensors

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 418-434, February 2026.
Abstract Passive acoustic telemetry systems are widely deployed to track animals in aquatic environments. However, investments in integrative methods of data analysis have remained comparatively limited, with current workflows typically considering individual movements separately from space use, home ranges and residency.

Semidiaphanam Tremuli Narcissuli Ideam Lacteam1: Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus (1651–1708) and His Determined Search for the Porcelain Principle

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 120-131, February 2026.
ABSTRACT With this contribution, an attempt is being made to chart the timeline of the invention of the European hard‐paste porcelain based on historical documents. They were evaluated to trace the development lines from Tschirnhaus's early experiments with burning mirrors and lenses in the 1680s to finding ‘wax porcelain’ around 1694 to the ...

One‐Dimensional Finite Elements With Arbitrary Cross‐Sectional Displacement Fields

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces an unprecedented unified approach for developing structural theories with an arbitrary kinematic variable over the beam cross‐section. Each of the three displacement variables can be analyzed using an independent expansion function. Both the order of the expansion and the number of terms in each field can be any. That is,

Using artificial intelligence to control fluid flow computations [PDF]

open access: yes
Computational simulation is an essential tool for the prediction of fluid flow. Many powerful simulation programs exist today. However, using these programs to reliably analyze fluid flow and other physical situations requires considerable human effort ...

Design and evaluation of a 3 million DN series-hybrid thrust bearing [PDF]

open access: yes
The bearing, consisting of a 150-mm ball bearing and a centrifugally actuated, conical, fluid-film bearing, was fatigue tested. Test conditions were representative of a mainshaft ball bearing in a gas turbine engine operating at maximum thrust load to ...
