A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

open access: yesGeographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

Developmental Switch From Elemental to Configural Processing of Odor Mixtures in Humans

open access: yesDevelopmental Psychobiology, Volume 68, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Human perceptual abilities evolve throughout development, particularly with regard to processing complex stimuli. While many studies have investigated age‐related changes in olfactory sensitivity, none have examined how developmental stages influence the perception of odor mixtures at the elemental and configural levels.

Smart detection of juice adulteration: An approach based on ion mobility spectrometry and machine learning

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7406-7415, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Fruit juice quality is regulated by European Union legislation; however, adulteration by adding cheaper alternatives, such as white grape juice, remains a prevalent issue. This practice constitutes economic fraud and poses health risks to consumers, including potential allergic reactions to the adulterant.

Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

open access: yesPolymer International, Volume 75, Issue 9, Page 818-831, September 2026.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...

Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1550-1556, September 2026.
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

Open‐land‐derived agroforestry and effects of abandonment of management of the main crop on ecosystem services and woody plant diversity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1805-1816, September 2026.
Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...

Open letter: The need for a site‐based biodiversity standard measuring and certifying impacts from nature‐based projects

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1394-1402, September 2026.
Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature.

Determinants of Pregnancy‐Related Misconceptions Among Pregnant Women in Urban Bangladesh: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesPublic Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Background Pregnancy‐related misconceptions may negatively influence maternal behaviours, including diet, physical activity, diabetes management and healthcare‐seeking. Evidence from urban Bangladesh remains limited. Study Design • Cross‐sectional baseline analysis of the GIFTS Trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01924013) • 861 first‐trimester pregnant ...
