Regeneration Strategies in Seed Plants: A Continuum Shaping Survival

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seed plants dominate terrestrial ecosystems in part because regeneration is not a single event, but a coordinated sequence of traits acting across time and space. Here, we synthesize regeneration strategies in seed plants as a continuous, integrated framework spanning pre‐germination regulation, germination timing, seedling emergence, soil seed banking,

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of Compression‐Molded Alkali‐Treated Sisal/False Banana Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Composites

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Alkali‐treated hybrid sisal/false banana fiber‐reinforced polyester composites were fabricated by compression molding and evaluated experimentally and numerically. The 5 wt.% NaOH treatment improved fiber–matrix adhesion, enhancing tensile, flexural, and impact properties.

Optimization of Energy Consumption in Intermittent Drying of Clay Using a Central Composite Design

Energy Technology, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study investigates the influence of drying temperature, air velocity, and intermittence ratio on the drying performance and energy consumption of a convective intermittent drying process. Multi‐response optimization identifies optimal operating conditions that significantly reduce drying time and supplied power while enhancing the drying ...

Fifty Years of Shore Platform Erosion Monitoring at Kaikōura Peninsula, South Island, Aotearoa‐New Zealand

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
Fifty years of micro‐erosion metre monitoring at Kaikōura show that the 2016 earthquake more than doubled shore platform erosion rates, transforming intertidal shore platforms into rapidly degrading supratidal marine terraces and reorganising the process and lithological controls that govern rock coast evolution.

Degradation of Perfluorinated Sulfonic Acid Polymers Under X‐Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Exposure

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nafion polymer was degraded by x‐rays for up to 223 min with concurrent x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. Three sequential degradation phases could be identified: loss of SO3 endgroups, progression of degradation along the sidechain, and cleavage of the mainchain.

Moisture-Related Risks in Internally Insulated Historic Field Stone Masonry Walls: A Long-Term Hygrothermal Assessment Under Past and Future Climate

Buildings
Improving the energy efficiency of historic field stone masonry buildings often requires internal insulation, as external insulation is frequently restricted by heritage and architectural constraints. Internal insulation, however, alters the hygrothermal

Hygrothermal Performance of Exterior Walls in Cold Climate: A Field Study

The durability of the building envelope is closely related to how exterior walls handle various moisture flows over time. Many tools exist that allow to simulate hygrothermal transfers through the building envelope. However, for these many uncertainties are inherent to using these tools, particularly linked to assessing and predicting human behavior ...
