Bridging Theory and Practice: Digital Twin Simulation of a Heat Exchanger in Laboratories for Engineering Students

Computer Applications in Engineering Education, Volume 34, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Digital twins serve as virtual replicas of physical systems. They can be used as a tool for engineering education by revealing the underlying principles behind unit operations. The project aimed to integrate digital twins into university engineering lab courses, complementing traditional methods by bridging the gap between experimentation and ...

Pre‐Flowering Heat Wave Sensitivity on Yield and Its Components in Two Spring Barley Near‐Isogenic Lines for PPD‐H1 Alleles

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising temperatures associated with climate change increasingly threaten cereal yields. Most previous studies have focused on chronic high temperatures, which primarily affect yield indirectly through modifications of crop phenology. In contrast, the effects of short‐term heat waves on reproductive development and yield formation remain poorly

How Accurately Do Species Distribution Models Predict the Expansion of Invasive Insects, and Does Climate Data Choice Matter? Insights From the Invasion of Dryocosmus kuriphilus

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1035-1046, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the spread of invasive species, yet their accuracy over time and the influence of climate data resolution remain unclear. Here, we examine the capacity of SDMs to predict the distribution and short‐term expansion of the invasive gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus, and compare the ...

Out of Sight, Out of Mind? The Impact of Issue Proximity on Policy Choice at the Individual Level

Review of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Scholars have extensively studied the link between issue definition and policy choice. However, empirical evidence on the role of issue proximity on policy support at the individual level remains scarce. The study draws on policy and management literatures to examine whether framing an issue as more or less spatially proximate to an individual

Collaboration in Cross‐Jurisdictional Water Quality Governance: A Novel Framework and Case Study

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Collaborative governance is often employed to address the inherent complexity of surface water quality governance and provides a structure for cooperation across federal, tribal, state, and local boundaries. However, although guidance exists for assessing specific dimensions of collaborative governance, tools to comprehensively evaluate the ...

Network modularity analysis reveals strategies for strengthening forest resistance, recovery and resilience to disturbances

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings highlight the need to jointly consider resistance, recovery and resilience when conceptualizing or implementing forest management strategies. Our network approach identifies the bundles of manageable predictors most consistently associated with forest resistance and resilience, providing a basis for developing management strategies, while ...

Bacterial insecticides beyond Bacillus thuringiensis

Phytopathology Research
Bacterial insecticides have emerged as a biotechnological strategy for controlling insect pests in crops, primarily due to the ineffectiveness of synthetic pesticides, which have led to resistance in insect populations due to their overuse.

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).
