Optimal Network Reconfiguration to Improve Network Reliability and Voltage Profile in Distribution Systems Using Chaotic Linear Decreasing Inertia Weight‐Based Particle Swarm Optimization

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Graphical abstract illustrates the optimization process in MATLAB software for network reconfiguration to improve reliability and voltage profile using PSO‐CLDIW. ABSTRACT The growing energy demand has intensified reliability challenges in power distribution systems.

Erving Goffman at 100: A Chameleon Seen as a Rorschach Test within a Kaleidoscope

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 3-47, February 2026.
The 100th anniversary of Erving Goffman's birth was in 2022. Drawing on his work, the Goffman archives, the secondary literature, and personal experiences with him and those in his university of Chicago cohort, I reflect on some implications of his work and life, and the inseparable issues of understanding society.

Haptic Experiences Shift Students' Representational Gestures and Knowledge Resources

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 138-160, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The present investigation adopts an embodied cognition perspective to characterize students' learning interactions between gesture and haptic experience. Haptic technologies have emerged as a promising approach to science learning because they can simulate physical forces that students would otherwise not experience. Student‐generated gestures

From Standard to Bayesian: Revisiting Ocean Color Model Evaluation

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Ocean color models, facilitated by satellite‐based remote sensing technologies, have transformed our ability to monitor chlorophyll‐a concentrations at the ocean's surface. These models decode changes in the spectral properties of reflected sunlight to map phytoplankton biomass across extensive spatial and temporal scales.

Evaluating Antibiotic Resistance in Urban Rivers and Coral Reefs of Belize: Evidence for Hotspots and a Potential Screening Tool

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a significant threat to global public health and can disproportionately affect low‐ and middle‐ income countries (LMICs). There is a lack of studies focusing on antibiotic resistance in coral reef regions and environmental reservoirs in Central America.

Temperature‐independent arrest in female reproduction in a tropical fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Polyphagous tropical fruit flies of the genus Bactrocera are generally assumed to undergo continuous breeding on the basis that hosts and temperature are not limiting. However, in their endemic monsoonal rainforest habitats, breeding hosts are not always available, and repeatable seasonal population depression for Bactrocera species has been ...

Oviposition and larval establishment of three ‘generalist’ noctuids on Capsicum annuum

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding the oviposition and foraging behaviour of pestiferous lepidopterans on their economically important food plants guides the development of effective pest management tactics. Here, we examined the oviposition behaviour and larval establishment of three noctuid species on a single crop—capsicum (Capsicum annuum).
