Study on Key Controlling Factors of Fracture Propagation by Shaped Charge Blasting in Coal Seams

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 721-736, February 2026.
Gas drainage is the fundamental approach to controlling gas disasters in coal mines. For single low‐permeability coal seams, it should be supplemented by coal seam permeability enhancement technologies to improve gas drainage efficiency. This paper conducted a numerical simulation study on the key controlling factors affecting the fracturing effect of ...

The Impact of Soil Anisotropy on Surface Settlements Induced by Tunnelling: A Revealing Parametric Study and Nomogram Development to Improve Modelling Practice

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 1218-1228, 10 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural soils often exhibit clearly anisotropic mechanical properties, yet this characteristic is frequently overlooked in numerical models due to the practical challenges of determining anisotropic parameters. As a result, the influence of anisotropy remains difficult to anticipate, and engineers have limited tools to incorporate it into ...

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.

On the Possibility of Melting Water Ice During the Recent Past of Mars: Implications for the Formation of Gullies

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The formation of gullies on Mars has often been attributed to the melting of (sub)surface water ice. However, melting‐based hypotheses generally overlook key processes: (a) sublimation cooling by latent heat absorption, (b) the non‐stability of ice where melting conditions can be reached, and (c) the particular microclimates of gullied slopes.

Impacts of bat use of anthropogenic structures on bats and humans

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Human‐induced landscape modifications and climate change are forcing wildlife into closer contact with humans as the availability of natural habitats decreases. Although the importance of anthropogenic structures for the conservation of species is widely recognized, negative narratives surrounding bats may impede conservation efforts in human ...
