Large Wood Retention in Forested River Corridors During Overbank Flood Events: Insights From Flume Experiments

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Understanding large wood (LW) dynamics on floodplains is important for closing wood budgets and predicting hazards associated with LW. We conducted 38 experiments in a fixed‐bed flume to examine how forest stand density (FSD), wood transport regime, and overbank flood magnitude affect floodplain LW retention.

Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Compressive Interface Stress on Interfaces in Reinforced Concrete Elements under Cyclic Action

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Reinforced concrete interfaces, either cracks within monolithic elements or joints between concretes cast at different times may become critical under cyclic actions, due to stiffness and interface resistance degradation.

Biohybrid Tendons Enhance the Power‐to‐Weight Ratio and Modularity of Muscle‐Powered Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Biohybrid robots powered by skeletal muscle actuators are capable of dynamically adapting to environmental cues. This study takes inspiration from native muscle–tendon architecture by leveraging tough hydrogels as synthetic tendons for muscle actuators to enhance the power‐to‐weight ratio and modularity of biohybrid machines.

Establishment of High Channel‐Count Packaging in Active Implantable Medical Devices for Neuroprosthesis

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Neuroprostheses have contributed extensively to humankind's capacity to treat disease and injury. Hearing loss is routinely overcome; pain is controlled; and myriad neurological, sensory, motor, and psychological disorders are managed through interventions involving neuromodulation.

Pull-Out Resistance Capacity of a New Perfobond Shear Connector for Steel Pile Cap Strengthening

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
This study proposes a new type of the perfobond shear connector, which can be used to strengthen the steel pile cap embedded into the structure foundation, and evaluates its pull-out resistance capacity by performing a test on ten specimens.

Field measurements and model predictions of turbulent kinetic energy in canopies of sparse vegetation under tidal flows

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract The presence of vegetation in aquatic environments alters hydrodynamics and sediment resuspension. A recent paradigm has suggested that turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) serves as a better predictor of sediment transport in aquatic canopies than bed shear stress.

Validity of Design Standards in Shear Strength of CFRP Concrete Member Without Shear Reinforcement

open access: yesBuildings
The shear design of concrete members reinforced with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) bars remains a key hurdle for engineers. This study experimentally investigates the shear behavior of normal-strength concrete members reinforced with CFRP bars ...

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.
