Field Theory and Colonialism: Indirect Colonial Situation as a Social Field in Egypt (1882–1922)

Sociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper argues that Egypt under British rule (1882–1922) constituted a field of power in which the local state of Egypt and the British administration competed to dominate three key subfields to ensure control over a contested territory: the modern courts system, policing, and agricultural production.

Recent Advances in Boron Removal From Geothermal Waters: A Review

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of boron removal technologies from geothermal fluids and highlights the limitations of conventional treatment methods. Ion exchange, hybrid processes and membrane filtration are identified as the most dominant approaches in recent studies.

Diverse Seasonal Patterns of Precipitation and Terrestrial Water Storage Over the Indochina Peninsula: Roles of Monsoons, ENSO, and Topography

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2026.
Warm ENSO phase events weaken Asian monsoons, reducing precipitation and TWS in northern and southern ICP, while central ICP's bowl‐shaped topography increases TWS. Seasonally, the Indian Monsoon brings abundant rainfall during May–September, which lags into TWS by 2 months.

Soil Nail Design Optimization Through Adaptive Slope Stability Analysis Using Improved Limit Equilibrium Method

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 2806-2822, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Design optimization for automatically generating optimal design results is a promising technique for enhancing the efficiency of design processes and outcomes. However, its development for soil nail reinforced slopes is limited since the traditional slope stability analysis using the limit equilibrium method (LEM) becomes relatively time ...

Punching shear in flat slab systems – Experimental quantification of unconsidered system influences

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 1406-1420, April 2026.
Abstract Due to the demand for slender and functional buildings, flat slabs are a frequently used load‐bearing element in buildings. However, the concentrated load introduction at the slab‐column connection is often the governing detail in design due to punching shear failure.

Strip loading in steel fiber reinforced concrete: Experimental and theoretical investigation

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 2601-2620, April 2026.
Abstract Fiber reinforced concrete is becoming increasingly popular in engineering practice due to its high robustness, post‐cracking behavior, and crack control. For strip loading, as common, for example, in longitudinal joints of tunnel lining segments, the use of fiber reinforced concrete has the potential to reduce conventional reinforcement ...

Freshwater Availability in the Mississippi River Basin and Adjacent Texas Aquifers Under Human and Climate Pressures

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Mississippi River Basin and adjacent Texas aquifers (MRB–TX) face intensifying water stress from irrigation demand, extremes, and climate change. We quantify spatiotemporal storage trajectories by integrating long‐term groundwater‐level records, GRACE/GRACE‐FO terrestrial water storage anomalies (TWSA), irrigation water‐use reanalysis ...

Stationary and Nonstationary Influences of Teleconnections on Terrestrial Water Storage Anomalies in Vietnam

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous studies of teleconnection (TC) impacts on Terrestrial Water Storage Anomalies (TWSA) rarely focus on Vietnam or on the nonstationary nature of TC–TWSA relationships. This study addresses these gaps by examining both stationary and nonstationary TC influences on TWSA using correlation analysis (Pearson and cross‐spectral methods) and ...
