Categorical Boosting‐PSO: A SHAP‐Interpretable Hybrid Framework for High‐Fidelity Wax Appearance Temperature Prediction in Subsea Pipelines

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
CatBoost–PSO accurately predicts wax appearance temperature from oil density, wax content, and pour point temperature, achieving R2 = 0.9760 and RMSE = 1.8106 K. External validation, SHAP interpretation, and low computational cost support rapid wax‐risk screening for subsea pipeline flow assurance.

Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

Pressurization of Shallow Magma Reservoir Preceding Basaltic Eruptions at an Open‐Vent Volcano

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Open‐vent volcanoes are characterized by the persistent activity of outgassing, lava effusion and mild explosions, which is, however, occasionally interrupted by more violent explosive activity (paroxysm), for example, Stromboli (Italy). In spite of the different (two orders of magnitude) explosive intensities and different petrological magma ...

The Role of Magmatic Styles in Planetary Thermal Evolution Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Previous studies that investigated the effects of magmatism on the interior dynamics, in particular for Earth‐sized planets, suggest that magmatism leads to more efficient mantle cooling. However, the extent to which different magmatic styles influence the thermal evolution of planets, and in particular smaller rocky bodies, has not yet been ...

Carbon, Water, and Energy Flux Dynamics in Different Cropping Systems in the Great Lakes Region

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study examined carbon (C), water, and energy exchanges across different cropping systems in the Great Lakes region using eddy covariance (EC) fluxes from an agricultural flux tower site (CA‐TPA) in southern Ontario, Canada. The site was cultivated with corn in 2020 and 2021, sweet potato in 2022, and tobacco in 2023. The site was a strong

Orchid genome evolution and trait innovation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2577-2607, August 2026.
Orchids became one of the world's most diverse plant groups through genome‐driven innovations, unique relationships with fungi and pollinators, and remarkable adaptability. This review explains the origins of orchids and the evolution of their distinctive life forms, flowers, and ecological strategies and highlights promising directions for future ...

Analyses of Atmospheric Turbulence Near Surface Observed by Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle in the Suburban Area of Seoul Metropolitan, South Korea

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract As the use of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), ranging from small drones to large person‐transport vehicles, continues to expand, detailed wind and turbulence observations near surface in urban areas are crucial for safe flight planning. In summer 2021, a field campaign was conducted in the suburbs of Seoul, South Korea, using a UAV equipped ...
