Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Flooding remains one of the most critical natural hazards threatening livelihoods, infrastructure, and ecological systems in Ethiopia's highland landscapes. This study presents a rigorously integrated, multi‐criteria flood risk assessment that combines the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with GIS‐based spatial modeling to delineate ...

Monotonicity-Preserving Bootstrapped Kriging Metamodels for Expensive Simulations [PDF]
Kriging (Gaussian process, spatial correlation) metamodels approximate the Input/Output (I/O) functions implied by the underlying simulation models; such metamodels serve sensitivity analysis and optimization, especially for computationally expensive ...

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.ABSTRACT The probabilistic surrogates used by Bayesian optimizers make them popular methods when function evaluations are noisy or expensive to evaluate. While Bayesian optimizers are traditionally used for global optimization, their benefits are also valuable for local optimization.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Many global and regional climate models predict shifts in the frequency and magnitude of precipitation events. It is unclear how this transition will influence delta and wetland development. We address this knowledge gap via two reduced‐scale physical delta experiments: one with constant discharge and the other with variable discharge.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We used eDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify the dietary composition of two vervet monkey populations in a semi‐urban environment in South Africa over a 4‐month period, and compared these results with visual observations. We found that both methods yielded similar results, but eDNA metabarcoding revealed a greater diversity of consumed taxa.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Climate change, expanding human ignitions, and increased fuels from fire exclusion are driving increases in area burned and fire severity in dry conifer forests of the western United States. Increasing area burned is occurring against the backdrop of a large fire deficit caused by over a century of fire exclusion.

Slagmark - Tidsskrift for idéhistorie, 2018 Hvilke muligheder er der for at udvikle de følelsesmæssige bånd mellem verdens borgere, således at risikoen for fremmedhad mindskes, det fremmedhad, der kan være medvirkende til at få folk til at acceptere krigen, fordi de andre er anderledes?"

Optimization in Conceptual Design of a BWB UAV Using an Adaptive Kriging‐Based Surrogate Model
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.An adaptive Kriging‐based framework for Blended Wing Body UAV optimization is presented. The exploitation‐oriented strategy yields a 14.5% range improvement, while sensitivity analysis identifies fuel mass as the dominant parameter for efficient conceptual design. ABSTRACT To improve optimization efficiency in the conceptual design of Blended Wing Body
