Long‐term aridity shapes grassland drought resistance and modulates the roles of plant diversity and functional composition

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Widely studied stability drivers such as plant diversity and functional composition have only partial explanatory power for short‐term drought resistance of above‐ground productivity in grasslands at a global scale. The abiotic context, particularly long‐term aridity, is crucial for understanding ecosystem responses to rainfall variation and can ...

Governing the circular–digital transition: Comparative legal‐institutional analysis of smart waste strategies in Spain and Portugal

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 388-400, July 2026.
Abstract This article analyses how regulatory and governance frameworks influence the implementation of smart waste strategies in the context of the EU's circular and digital transitions. Focusing on Spain and Portugal—two EU Member States subject to shared supranational obligations but marked by divergent legal traditions and administrative structures—

White matter hyperintensities are associated with locus coeruleus atrophy and astrocytic β2‐adrenergic receptor expression

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are a robust marker of brain aging and dementia risk, typically attributed to vascular pathology. However, impaired astrocytic support may also contribute. The locus coeruleus (LC), which degenerates early in aging and Alzheimer's disease, provides widespread noradrenergic projections that ...

Cortical gray–white matter contrast alterations precede amyloid‐β positivity and macrostructural changes in older adults without dementia

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Early Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves subtle cortical changes that may precede atrophy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) microstructural markers may detect earlier pathology than classical morphometry. METHODS We analyzed cross‐sectional MRI and amyloid‐β (Aβ) positron emission tomography (PET) data from 1323 non‐demented AMYPAD

Introducing Modularity and Homology in Grammatical Evolution to Address the Analog Electronic Circuit Design Problem

IEEE Access, 2020
We present a new approach based on grammatical evolution (GE) aimed at addressing the analog electronic circuit design problem. In the new approach, called multi-grammatical evolution (MGE), a chromosome is a variable-length codon string that is divided ...

More Than Just Game Elements—A Taxonomy of Considerations for Gamification Projects and Research

Journal of Software: Evolution and Process, Volume 38, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The field of gamification research lacks consistency regarding the naming and categorization of methods and concepts. It also shows inconsistencies in terms of which influencing factors are considered and reported. These inconsistencies hinder the retrievability and comparability of gamification studies and encourage criticism of the research ...

Complexity and the Global Security Governance of Autonomous Weapon Systems: Regulatory Deadlock and Practices of Relational Transcendence

World Affairs, Volume 189, Issue 3, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the most prominent contemporary issues in the arms control domain is the regulation of Autonomous Weapon Systems (AWS). Today, there exist global governance procedures for AWS due to intense legal and ethical concerns, especially about those equipped with Artificial Intelligence capabilities, herein referred to as intelligent AWS (IAWS).
