THE CONTESTED CITY OF VENICE: Caring for Commodified Common Infrastructures in a Touristified Environment

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1053-1064, July 2026.
Abstract In this essay I reveal contested common infrastructures in the interplay between vanishing public infrastructures in Venice and lack of care by governmental actors in a city with a shrinking number of inhabitants. I examine care and commodified public infrastructures in heritage cities facing mass tourism and climate change effects by zooming ...

Playability of self-sustained musical instrument models: statistical approaches

Acta Acustica
Self-sustained musical instruments, such as wind or bowed string instruments, are complex nonlinear systems. They admit a wide variety of regimes, which sometimes coexist for certain values of the control parameters.

Video Game Design Ethics

Philosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article introduces video game ethics as an emergent field. It then focuses on some of the pressing issues distinctive of video game design, issues which arise predominantly from the making rather than the playing of games. Many issues in video game ethics arise from an asymmetry in the relationship between designer and player.

In Vitro SDHI Fungicide Insensitivity and Mutations in Sdh, β‐Tubulin and Cyp51 of Clarireedia spp., Causing Dollar Spot in Turfgrass in Georgia, USA

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Amino acid substitutions R61K and E63A in SdhD gene and E198A in β‐tubulin gene in Clarireedia spp., causal agent of dollar spot in turfgrass, were linked to reduced boscalid and thiophanate‐methyl sensitivity, respectively. ABSTRACT Dollar spot, caused by Clarireedia spp., diminishes turf quality, affecting both aesthetics and sport playability on the

Spatial relationship of turfgrass tissue nitrogen content and several vegetation indices on sand‐capped golf course fairways

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Vegetation indices (VIs), such as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), are widely used to assess nitrogen (N) status in crop systems and are gaining interest in turfgrass management. However, most studies have been conducted in controlled settings, and their relevance under real‐world golf course conditions remains unclear.

Monitoring trends of volumetric water content in turfgrass rootzones with a soil moisture meter from 2014 to 2021

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The POGO TurfPro is a hand‐held, portable device that utilizes coaxial impedance dielectric permittivity technology to measure soil volumetric water content (VWC; v:v%) and other variables in highly managed turfgrass rootzones. Since 2014, measurements obtained on this soil moisture meter platform have been captured digitally by Amazon Web ...
