Field‐Validated Predictive Model for Strain Modulus of Dispersive Clay Stabilized With a Waste Calcium Composite for Sustainable Subgrade Design

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
A field‐validated predictive model accurately estimates the strain modulus of waste calcium composite‐stabilized dispersive clay. The model provides a reliable, sustainable, and cost‐effective tool for subgrade design, reducing dependence on extensive field testing while improving pavement performance.

Variation in the Oxidative State of Collared Flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) Nestlings and Its Association With Their Plumage Coloration

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Plumage coloration is widely recognized as an important component in intraspecific communication. Our aim was to examine the variation of oxidative parameters and their associations with the coloration of two different nestling plumage traits in collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis).

Bone Anvils and New Types of Osseous Tools at Walīla (Volubilis, Morocco): Use of Animal Byproducts in the Industries of a Medieval Town

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 728-742, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bone anvils used to sharpen metal sickle blades are frequently documented in the archaeological record of the Roman and medieval Mediterranean and beyond, with new finds reported each year. This article reports anvils from the early medieval town of Walīla (Roman Volubilis) in northern Morocco and presents two other types of bone tools (bone ...

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Egg Characteristics of Female Common Terns Are Repeatable, and Vary With Maternal Age and Laying Order

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
We investigated sources of variation in eight egg characteristics capturing the colour, spottiness, shape, and size of 1589 eggs from 687 clutches produced by 330 female common terns (Sterna hirundo) of known age. We found a high repeatability of the eight egg traits, both within clutches and among clutches of the same female. We also observed a within‐

DOES IDENTITY HAVE SPACE IN DHARAVI’S REDEVELOPMENT? Understanding the Interrelation of Hybridity and Identity in the Indian Context

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 1323-1340, November 2025.
Abstract The goal of this research is to understand the spaces Dharavi’s inhabitants require to sustain existing socioeconomic systems and how future redevelopment in the area can facilitate their inclusion. In India, livelihoods are directly linked to identity, as religion or caste often define the trades that individuals practise.

From Green to Brown: Characterization of the Fast Alteration of Modern Greenish Enamels in Glass Windows

ChemPlusChem, Volume 90, Issue 9, September 2025.
Spots and stains appeared on the modern green enamel from different stained‐glass windows as a consequence of environmental alteration. The multianalytical characterization showed a 3‐step alteration mechanism divided into Pb2+ lixiviation from the enamel, formation of hydrocerussite (2PbCO3·Pb(OH)2), and transformation into scrutinyite (α‐PbO2) and ...

The simple morphology of the sunfish heart

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 1034-1041, June 2025.
Jensen and Lauridsen describe the least curved vertebrate heart to date in seven specimens of Ocean sunfish. By comparison to multiple vertebrates, it is concluded that the highly unusual heart is a recent evolution that relates in part to the extraordinary shape of the body.
