The Mutable Original: How Chinese Counterfeits Become Nigerian Originals in African Markets

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 581-594, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Affordable Chinese copies of Western brands are ubiquitous in African markets. Despite democratizing consumer access, these goods appear to cement hegemonic value hierarchies that rank Chinese or local products as inferior to Western goods.

Wind Masculinities: Extractive, Caste, and Nationalist Rule in Rural India

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper shows how India's wind electricity regime does not simply decarbonize electricity; it reorganizes power through a distinctive wind masculinity—a caste‐coded, infrastructural mode of rule that keeps money, machines, and people moving.

Carbon‐Nutrient Interactions Under Insect Disturbance Simulated by the Land‐Surface Model QUINCY 21edff48

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Insect outbreaks significantly impact tree mortality and carbon‐nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems, yet most terrestrial biosphere models do not represent insect disturbances due to the complexity of nutrient processes and limited data. To address this gap, we implemented a new insect impacts module in the QUINCY (Quantifying Interactions ...

A Novel Approach to Characterize and Model Drywell Infiltration Capacity

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Drywells are vadose‐zone wells constructed for infiltration and recharge, typically positioned far above the water table. They provide for efficient infiltration, with high infiltration rates per land area, because the infiltration process is below the land surface.

Fully 3D‐Printed Wave‐Wound Electromagnetic Motors

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 14, 22 July 2026.
This work presents the first fully 3D‐printed wave‐wound electromagnetic motors, which are created using conductive nanoparticle inks, carbon‐filled nylon polymers, and surface mount components. These motors can achieve a stall torque of 7.62N·mmA−1$7.62 \nobreakspace N{\cdot }mm A^{-1}$ and efficiency of 28.2 %, which approaches the performance of ...

Soil Diversity and Climate: An Overview of Profile Data and Acquisition With the WoSIS Global Legacy Dataset

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil profiles are the primary field evidence from which pedogenesis, soil classification and land‐use effects are interpreted, yet their availability remains uneven across climates and land‐cover contexts. Here, we analyse the World Soil Information Service (WoSIS) 2023 snapshot together with Copernicus Global Land Cover 2015 and the global ...
