Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The formation of air bubbles in the xylem, known as embolism, reduces hydraulic conductivity and can ultimately lead to catastrophic failure of a tree's water transport system. When a vessel embolises, it releases water into the surrounding xylem tissue.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 10, Page 814-829, October 2026.ABSTRACT Background Homecare aides (HCAs) are professional non‐family caregivers, who support dependent individuals to live at home with dignity; yet in Spain they remain understudied and vulnerable, often facing precarious working conditions. We aimed to characterize HCAs’ employment, living conditions, health, and exposure to workplace violence and ...

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Peptide‐enabled nanoplatforms offer multifunctional strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of malaria and leishmaniasis. Liposomal, polymeric, and metallic nanocarriers, together with cell‐penetrating peptides and parasite‐derived mimotopes, can improve targeted drug delivery, stability, bioavailability, and intracellular localization.

Numerical modeling of existing RC beams strengthened in shear with FRP U-sheets
, 2012 This paper presents a finite element analysis on two reinforced concrete beams, extracted from an important building of the '30s in Rome, strengthened in shear with C-FRP and subjected to the simultaneous occurrence of a negative bending moment and shear

Impact of Transported Wildfire Emissions on Urban PM2.5 and O3 in Queensland, Australia
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract Wildfires degrade urban air quality by transporting fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ${\text{PM}}_{2.5}$) and ozone (O3 ${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$) precursors. Such impacts are seldom quantified in the Southern Hemisphere. This study quantified contributions of wildfire emissions to ambient PM2.5 ${\text{PM}}_{2.5}$ and O3 ${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (ΔPM2.5 ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract The 2020 wildfires caused widespread elevated fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations across the western U.S. The Colorado Front Range experienced multiple smoke episodes from nearby fires and fires hundreds of kilometers away. Multiple days (88 total) with elevated PM2.5 along the Front Range occurred in 2020 between July and October ...
