Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and

Effect of fracture energy estimation on the predictions of mode II behavior of bonded joints using cohesive zone models

Fracture and Structural Integrity
Fracture behavior of adhesive joints is an important topic in structural design of new structural elements or in retrofitting of existing ones. The mechanical models available in literature capable of predicting the failure mode of these junctions are ...

A mean-field homogenisation scheme with CZM-based interfaces describing progressive inclusions debonding [PDF]

, 2019
The objective of the present study is to describe the progressive debonding of inclusions in particle or fibre reinforced composites. To do so, the mean-field homogenisation scheme of Mori-Tanaka is enriched to take into account imperfect interfaces. The

Coupled LEM–CZM Numerical Framework for Landslide Simulation and Its Application to Geotechnical Design

Designs
To realistically simulate the entire slip-surface process from crack initiation to run-out, we couple the simplified Bishop method (LEM) with zero-thickness cohesive elements (CZM): LEM first pinpoints the critical slip circle, then CZM tracks interface ...

Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.
