Alternation of must, have to, and need to in English as a lingua franca

World Englishes, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the grammatical variability of modal auxiliary verbs in English as a lingua franca. Focusing on the ongoing change must, have to, and need to, this research utilizes two spoken corpora: the Vienna–Oxford International Corpus of English (VOICE) and the Asian Corpus of English (ACE).

The Use of Survival Dose-Rate Dependencies as Theoretical Discrimination Criteria for Dynamic Radiobiological Models

Dose-Response
Introduction Cell repair dynamics are crucial in optimizing anti-cancer therapies. Various assays (eg, comet assay and γ-H2AX) assess post-radiation repair kinetics, but interpreting such data is challenging and model-based data analyses are required ...

Impact of Seasonal Composition on the Long‐Term Performance of Post‐Consumer Recycled Polypropylene

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 15, April 15, 2026.
Ten batches of post‐consumer polypropylene recyclate were examined over a period of 15 months. Despite identical MFR and density specifications, there were significant differences in their composition, affecting mechanical performance. Elongation at break and crack resistance varied particularly strongly.

Mechanical Insights Into Polymeric Multilayers Films Using Nanoindentation and the Structural Compliance Method

Strain, Volume 62, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study applies nanoindentation to resolve layer‐specific mechanical properties in photovoltaic backsheet multilayer polymers. Structural compliance correction reduces substrate flexure and edge artefacts, enabling reliable hardness and modulus mapping.

Covertly Active Comet (139359) 2001 ME1

The Planetary Science Journal
On 2018 November 18, coronagraphs onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) captured an unrecognized comet crossing its fields of view. We identified this comet to be the minor planet (139359) 2001 ME _1 , whose previously unnoticed dust ...

Patterns of understorey bird diversity across Amazonian forests: survey effort and range maps predict local species richness

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Influence of Competitive C–P Segregation on Austenite Grain Growth in Iron Alloys

steel research international, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1432-1443, March 2026.
This study investigates how carbon influences phosphorus‐induced solute drag effects during isothermal annealing of austenite grain growth in Fe–C–P alloys. Using in situ high‐temperature laser scanning confocal microscopy and density functional theory simulations, it demonstrates that carbon above a critical temperature significantly reduces P ...

Advancing Model‐Based Systems Engineering in the Development of Naval Vessel Systems Architecture

Systems Engineering, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 241-263, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing complexity of modern naval vessels due to technological advancements poses challenges for early‐stage ship design (ESSD). Developing well‐defined system architectures and adopting systems engineering approaches are essential to address these challenges.

Surface‐Driven Protocell Formation in Geologically Relevant Early Earth Environment

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.
Illustration of a prebiotic early‐Earth environment showing cell‐like protocells (blue spheres) and other complex organic molecules (pink and green spheres) distributed across terrestrial surfaces and within subsurface niches. Volcanic landscapes and mineral‐rich substrates provide diverse geochemical settings for the assembly and evolution of ...

Interplay of Spatial Structure and Interactions in Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
A description of the interplay between microbial growth and interactions, the spatial structure of the environment and the spatial organisation of microbial populations can improve our understanding of the ecology of microbial communities. We review previous studies that highlight different aspects of this interplay.
