Comprehensive Analysis for the Evaluation of Torrential Floods and Slope Stability of River Channels: La China River Area (Colombia)

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Colombia and other tropical regions face a very high threat from torrential floods, which have resulted in over 25,000 deaths in a single event. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive assessment methodology to zone and determine the magnitude of these disasters; therefore, this research aims to help fill this gap.

Simplified Method for Estimating Future Scour Depth at Existing Bridges [PDF]

, 2009
Bridge scour is the term which describes the erosion of soil surrounding a bridge foundation due to water. Bridge scour can cause the reduction of the load carrying capacity of bridge foundations, excessive foundation settlements, and damage to bridge ...

Task‐Evoked Functional Activation and Coupling With CSF Flow Detected in the Human Brain With Ultrashort Echo Time fMRI at 7 T

NMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 8, August 2026.
Ultrashort and zero echo time (UTE and ZTE) MRI techniques generate functional contrast through inflow effects, making them suitable for studying cerebral blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics. In a 7‐T study of 13 participants performing a visual task, we demonstrate that UTE produced robust, reproducible activations with group‐level ...

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 314-337, August 2026.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

Winter Storm Induced Turbulent Structure Alteration Triggers Sediment Export From an Abandoned Subaqueous Delta

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Winter storms present a major erosional hazard to subaqueous deltas globally, but the associated dynamic mechanisms are still not well understood. Using high‐resolution in situ data collected over a 3‐week period in the abandoned Yellow River subaqueous delta, this study employs three‐dimensional quadrant analysis to examine turbulent ...

Biological legacies influence seedling survival and growth in post‐fire restoration of Patagonian Nothofagus pumilio forests

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
In post‐fire subantarctic forests of Torres del Paine National Park, nucleation‐based reforestation of Nothofagus pumilio was evaluated over 5 years to assess how the identity, proximity, and lateral coverage of biological legacies influence seedling survival and growth.

Optimal spur dike orientation for scour mitigation under downward seepage conditions

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics
River bank protection is vital in hydraulic river engineering to preserve natural rivers, lands, and critical constructions such as bridges. Spur dikes are erosion-protective structures that protrude outward from the river bank in different orientations ...
