Sensemaking of Process Data from Evaluation Studies of Educational Games: An Application of Cross‐Classified Item Response Theory Modeling

open access: yesJournal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
Abstract Process information collected from educational games can illuminate how students approach interactive tasks, complementing assessment outcomes routinely examined in evaluation studies. However, the two sources of information are historically analyzed and interpreted separately, and diagnostic process information is often underused.

The American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) as an Apex Predator: Investigating the Ecological Role of the World's Most Abundant Large Carnivore

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Black bears as apex predators. American black bears can (1) produce top‐down effects on ungulates equal to or exceeding those of typical apex predators and (2) modify the spatiotemporal behaviour of other carnivores, including pumas and coyotes. We argue that the term ‘apex predator’ is highly context dependent and not a species‐wide status.

Stall‐Free Asynchronous State Repartitioning With a Proactive Workload Tracking Window

open access: yesConcurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 38, Issue 3, February 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐throughput stateful applications rely on dynamic data repartitioning to adapt to changing workloads, but this process presents significant challenges. This paper provides a detailed analysis of such challenges, drilling down into the tradeoffs between adaptation, computational overhead, and service availability. We identify that a primary

Antimicrobial‐Releasing Implant Substrates for Combating Oral Biofilms: An In Vitro Study

open access: yesClinical Oral Implants Research, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 210-223, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Peri‐implantitis, a biofilm‐associated inflammatory disease, significantly threatens dental implant longevity. Current treatments face limitations due to biofilm robustness. This study evaluates the efficacy of antimicrobial‐releasing titanium‐silica (Ti/SiO2) composite implant systems against multispecies oral ...

Rupture Cascade Initiated by Wastewater Disposal: Nucleation and Domino Effect of Canada's Largest Induced Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract In 2022–2023, three local‐magnitude (ML) 4.8–5.6 earthquakes shook the Peace River oilsands area of Alberta, Canada. Previous studies statistically linked the seismicity to nearby disposal activities but lacked in‐depth investigation into triggering mechanisms, including subsurface fluid migration and earthquake interaction.

A hitchhiker's guide to single‐cell epigenomics: Methods and applications for cancer research

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 2, Page 291-304, 15 January 2026.
Abstract Genetic mutations are well known to influence tumorigenesis, tumor progression, treatment response and relapse, but the role of epigenetic variation in cancer progression is still largely unexplored. The lack of epigenetic understanding in cancer evolution is in part due to the limited availability of methods to examine such a heterogeneous ...
