On the Aromaticity in Cyclic H‐Bonded Chains: Linking HOMIA Descriptor to Molecular Properties
ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 5, 5 February 2026.ABSTRACT Aromaticity is a central concept in organic chemistry to explain the high stability of conjugated rings. This study extends this concept to cyclic hydrogen‐bonded (H‐bonded) chains by introducing a modified descriptor, the harmonic oscillator model of intermolecular aromaticity (HOMIA), to quantify aromaticity in cyclic H‐bonded chains of HCN,

A general approach to the linear stability of viscoelastic shear‐flows
ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Volume 106, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The present work provides an in‐depth analysis of the linear stability theory of viscoelastic shear‐flows, based upon a constitutive equation of the fading memory type. The particular model considered herein was introduced by Kenneth Walters through the integration of classical rate‐type fluids in a convected frame (Walters 1962).

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Solar superflares of S‐class (>X10 in soft X‐rays) pose extreme space weather hazards, yet their prediction remains a fundamental challenge owing to their rapid and transient natures and the limitations of conventional event‐based forecasts. We introduce for the first time, a probabilistic spatiotemporal framework designed to identify extended

Modeling Interactions and Dynamic Saturation Processes in Karst Media
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The simulation of karst aquifers is highly challenging due to complex conduit‐matrix interactions. This study utilizes KarstFOAM, a high‐fidelity, physics‐based numerical model, to address these challenges. KarstFOAM integrates (a) a unified single‐domain Forchheimer–Darcy–Brinkman–Stokes (FDBS) formulation that transitions naturally across ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Total Suspended Solids (TSS) significantly degrade water quality by reducing light penetration and oxygen availability, while facilitating the transport of toxic contaminants. Managing TSS in watersheds requires an understanding of both hydrological connectivity and pollutant dynamics; however, these efforts are significantly constrained by ...

Modal Analysis of Water Distribution Systems With the Elastic Water Column Model
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract This paper presents a modal and participation factor (PF) analysis of water distribution systems (WDSs) using the elastic water column model (EWCM). Modal analysis, widely used in other engineering fields, is adapted here to characterize the dynamic behavior of WDSs under transient conditions. By linearizing the EWCM around an operating point,

A Shape‐Based Model for Drag and Terminal Velocity of Non‐Spherical Plastic Particles
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Plastic pollution in rivers is governed by how individual particles move among the bed, the water column, and the free surface, processes that depend primarily on drag and terminal velocity. Although plastic particles span a much wider range of shapes than natural sediments, many existing drag and terminal‐velocity formulations still rely on ...

Strategic Flip‐Flopping in Political Competition
International Economic Review, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 79-96, February 2026.ABSTRACT We study candidates' position adjustments in response to information about voters' preferences. Repositioning allows candidates to move closer to the median voter, but it incurs financial and electoral costs. In a subgame‐perfect equilibrium, candidates diverge from the center ex ante if the costs of adjustment are sufficiently large.

Limit Orders and Knightian Uncertainty
International Economic Review, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 353-363, February 2026.ABSTRACT A wide variety of financial instruments allows risk‐averse traders to reduce their exposure to risk. This raises the question of what financial instruments allow ambiguity‐averse traders to reduce their exposure to ambiguity. We show in this paper that price‐contingent orders, such as limit orders, are sufficient: In a two‐period trading model,

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology
Journal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 2, Page 280-329, February 2026.Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model
