Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7050-7061, July 2026.Rhizobacterial inoculation of barley reduced Sitobion avenae populations by inducing plant resistance and modifying volatiles that attracted parasitoid wasps earlier, enhancing both bottom‐up and top‐down pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Soil rhizobacteria can enhance crop resistance to insect herbivores and influence higher trophic interactions ...

Personalised Perception: The Effect of Personality on the Sensory Effects of Psychedelics
Drug and Alcohol Review, Volume 45, Issue 5, July 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction Psychedelics induce a wide range of sensory distortions and hallucinations (henceforth ‘distortions’). Yet, little is known about factors that influence the occurrence of certain distortions. Extra‐pharmacological variables including personality traits have been found to correlate with the occurrence of different subjective ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.Stabilization of L‐PBF Ni50.7Ti49.3 under low‐cycle loading was investigated. Recoverable strain after cycling was dependent on the amount of applied load. Recovery ratio was 53.4% and 35.1% at intermediate and high load, respectively. The maximum total strain reached 10.3% at a high load of 1200 MPa.
