Extremism at the center: Uncovering political diversity among midpoint responders on the left–right self‐placement item

Political Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The midpoint of the left‐right self‐placement item is the most populated of all response options. While genuinely‐centrist responders opt to self‐place there, it is also a convenient response option for those that cannot easily fit their politics to the left‐right spectrum.

Developing a Heterogeneous Attenuation Model for Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites in the Kilohertz Region of the Ultrasonic Spectrum

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue S2, Page S85-S95, 20 June 2026.
Acquisition, filtering and modeling by genetic programming (tree pattern) of the acoustic signal for fiber‐filled composites. ABSTRACT This study experimentally investigated the discrete phase contributions of fibers and entrapped air on the attenuation spectrum of a fiber‐filled thermoplastic composite and derives a mathematical expression for sound ...

On the Meaning of Localization in Non‐Local Quantum Field Theory

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 6, June 2026.
In non‐local quantum field theory nature does not necessarily allow objects or events to be localized to exact mathematical points. Instead any physical measurement has a built‐in finite resolution set by the non‐locality scale. Spacetime remains continuous and Lorentz‐covariant, but below this scale pointlike localization becomes an idealization ...

Using Landsat Satellite Imagery to Investigate Spatial and Temporal Variation in Life History Traits in a Long‐Term Study Population of Superb Fairy‐Wrens Malurus cyaneus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We used 27 years of data from an insectivorous passerine in southeastern Australia, the superb fairy‐wren Malurus cyaneus, to assess how climate variation influences vegetation productivity and, indirectly, reproduction and survival via potential trophic interactions.

Freeze‐Drying Chlorella vulgaris by Using Aquafaba, Deactivated Yeast, Inulin and Maltodextrin

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates the freeze‐drying efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris cultivated in a photobioreactor, utilizing novel and traditional carrier agents including aquafaba, deactivated yeast, inulin, and maltodextrin. The findings highlight the comparative effects of these matrices on the structural integrity and physical properties of the microalgae

On the Performance and Convergence of PINNs for Problems in Linear Elasticity

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Physics‐informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as a promising approach for solving partial differential equations by embedding physical laws directly into the loss function. However, their performance characteristics for problems in computational mechanics remain insufficiently understood.

Promotion in the Australian Public Service: Improvements for Women and Stagnation for Cultural and Linguistic Minorities*

Economic Record, Volume 102, Issue 337, Page 250-295, June 2026.
We investigate whether being female, Indigenous, from a non‐English speaking background (NESB) or having a disability affects career advancement in the Australian Public Service. Over the past 20 years, women have become more likely to get promoted at senior ranks than similar men and just as likely at junior ranks. NESB staff have much lower promotion

Does the All‐Star Award Affect Chinese Analysts' Performance? Evidence From a Regression Discontinuity Design and the Field Le prix All‐Star influence‐t‐il le rendement des analystes chinois? Données probantes issues d'une régression sur discontinuité et du terrain

Contemporary Accounting Research, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 607-631, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of the All‐Star award on the performance of Chinese financial analysts. Leveraging unique voting data from 2007 to 2016 and a regression discontinuity design (RDD), we find that the All‐Star award significantly enhances recipients' fundamental analysis. Awarded analysts issue more accurate earnings forecasts, and

Role of Anharmonicity and Bimetallic Intermixing in the IR and Raman Spectra of Cun$_{n}$ and Pdn$_{n}$Cu6−n$_{6-n}$ Clusters (n<7$n\lt 7$). Ab Initio Benchmarking of DFT

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
High‐level ab initio and density functional theory calculations reveal a structural and spectroscopic transition from pla nar Cu6 to three‐dimensional Pd6, whose lowest energy triplet state undergoes a Jahn‐Teller distortion. This evolution from molecule‐like to metal‐like bonding produces distinct infrared and Raman fingerprints, providing reliable ...

Evaluating the Color of Chocolate Chip Cookies: Comparative Performance of Instrumental Colorimetry, Digital Image Analysis, and Computer Vision Relative to Human Perception

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Food color is commonly quantified using colorimeters; however, these instruments may be impractical in home‐based or small‐scale production settings. More accessible alternatives, such as digital image analysis and computer vision, may offer reliable color quantification when conventional instrumentation is unavailable.
