Research Direction and Science Evaluation: The Role of Coherence and Alignment

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 437-474, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT The decisions of funding agencies greatly influence the direction of scientific research; however, our understanding of how applicants' research directions affect the selection process remains limited. In this study, we investigate how a project's coherence with a scientist's previous work and its alignment with current scientific trends ...

‘SiteTool': a ‘Shiny' application for field site selection and evaluation

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Field studies are fundamental to ecological research, yet many studies rely on unspecified or convenience‐based methods for site selection, potentially introducing bias that can compromise research results. Remote‐sensing data provides a quantitative way to evaluate potential sites without expensive pilot visits; however, interacting with spatial data ...

Addressing Climate Driven Vector‐Borne Disease in West Africa

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) pose a significant public health threat in West Africa, contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly among vulnerable populations. This region is highly susceptible to the effects of climate change due to its geographical location, dependence on rain‐fed agriculture, and fragile ...

Pathogenic Mechanisms of V. vulnificus and Its Role in the Development of Sepsis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Sorafenib attenuates urethral scar formation by inhibiting β‐catenin signaling in fibroblasts, which downregulates the SLC7A11/GPX4 antioxidant axis and triggers ferroptosis. This β‐catenin–ferroptosis coupling effectively suppresses fibrogenesis, highlighting sorafenib as a promising drug‐repurposing candidate for urethral stricture.

Spreading Speed for a Vector‐Borne Disease System on Non‐Coincident Straight Infinite Cylinders

Studies in Applied Mathematics, Volume 156, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐borne diseases remain an increasing global public health concern. In this work, we investigate the spreading speed of vector‐borne disease via a four‐component reaction–diffusion system posed on non‐coincident straight infinite cylinders, which stands for an unconventional spatial configuration.
