Hair as sensory skin: sensitive bodies, ritual shaving, and the maintenance of bodily boundaries in Hindu Suriname De la pilosité comme peau sensorielle : corps sensibles, rasage rituel et maintien des limites du corps chez les hindous du Surinam

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 269-292, March 2026.
Hair is an integral part of the skin's interface and has sensory capacity. It actively contributes to processes of bodily materialization and facilitates transactional exchange with other social actors and environments, particularly regarding energies and vibrations that can be perceived as subtle matter.

Locating nests of endangered bumble bees: Lessons from field trials in northern Germany

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 268-279, March 2026.
Tracking bumble bees to find their nests using coloured strips of paper stuck to their thorax proved to be the most suitable method, while radio transponders were too heavy. Tracking times of up to 2 h and distances of up to 800 m were achieved with strips of pink craft tissue paper.

Wave dissipation effect of a new combined breakwater and its protective performance for coastal box girder bridges

Advances in Bridge Engineering
Breakwaters play an important role in in mitigating wave-induced damage to marine structures. However, conventional submerged breakwaters often exhibit limited wave dissipation capabilities, while floating breakwaters may lack adequate safety performance.

Seagrasses are most vulnerable to marine heatwaves in tropical zones: local‐scale and broad climatic zone variation in thermal tolerances

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2835-2851, March 2026.
Summary Under a changing climate, it is imperative that we understand how species may respond to temperature impacts, which can differ among populations of the same species due to local drivers. Thermal tolerance data, which can be used to assess an organism's upper thermal limits, is valuable to identify species and/or populations' susceptibility to ...

Tide‐Modulated Ocean‐to‐Earth Energy Conversion Quantified With Coastal Fiber Sensing

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Quantifying how incident ocean waves transfer energy into seismic surface waves along the nearshore is essential for understanding coastal hazards and Earth–ocean coupling, yet time‐resolved in situ estimates have been scarce. Here we use a beach‐deployed distributed acoustic sensing array co‐located with an ocean‐bottom node to directly ...

Estimation of Reshaped Profile of Berm Breakwaters Using Experimental Data

International Journal of Maritime Technology, 2014
A reshaping berm breakwater is a type of rubble mound breakwater in which, its seaward slope is allowed to reshape under wave attacks. There are some key parameters in the reshaped seaward profiles, which can schematize the reshaped profile of a berm ...

Numerical Analysis of the Submerged Horizontal Plate Device Subjected to Representative Regular and Realistic Irregular Waves of a Sea State

Fluids
This study numerically analyzes a submerged horizontal plate (SHP) device subjected to both regular and irregular waves. This device can be used either as a breakwater or a wave energy converter (WEC).
