Characterising Spectral Sensitivity and the Role of Sunlight Intensity in Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) Surveillance and Monitoring (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 1, Page 46-55, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Japanese beetle (JB) Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) has been a significant invasive pest for over a century in North America. Several studies have reported that plants under direct sunlight are preferred and trap colour affects the number of beetles captured, indicating that visual stimuli influence JB behaviour. Despite this,

3D3C Velocity Measurement Around a Cubic Building Model in a Wind Tunnel Using a Single‐Camera Rainbow PTV Technique

JAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 9, Issue 1, January–December 2026.
A vertical color‐varying pattern was projected around the cubic block in the wind tunnel and captured from above with a single camera. A single measurement provides 3D3C velocity fields that visualize the impinging flow on the block and the boundary‐layer motions developing along the block's surfaces.

Influence of Poor Ventilation and Door Operation on the Spread of Infectious Respiratory Particles and Infection Risk in a Hospital Ward

JAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 9, Issue 1, January–December 2026.
ABSTRACT As COVID‐19 spread worldwide, numerous outbreaks occurred in wards. This study, in addition to investigating the indoor air environment and ventilation characteristics of a ward that had experienced multiple outbreaks, quantitatively evaluated how ventilation characteristics and door operation affect infection risk.

A CFD technique for estimating the flow distortion effects on LiDAR measurements when made in complex flow fields [PDF]

, 2013
The effect of flow distortion on the measurements produced by a LiDAR or SoDAR in close proximity to either complex terrain or a structure creating localised flow distortion is difficult to determine by analytical means.

Preschoolers' Scientific Curiosity and Inquiry Capabilities: An Ecological Research Approach

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 1, Page 40-61, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Existing tools for measuring scientific curiosity often fail to capture its multifaceted, dynamic nature—particularly in early childhood, where behaviors are context‐dependent, non‐verbal, and emergent. These challenges limit our ability to understand and support young children's scientific engagement.
