Topsoil Compaction Risk Based on the Different Responses of Soil Structure to Compaction Stress

Agronomy
Compaction leads to reduced crop yields, as the soil structure is destroyed. As soil structures respond differently to different degrees of compaction stress, early warnings for the risk of soil compaction caused by agricultural machinery need to be ...

Stump Ischemia Is a Possible Risk Factor for Late‐Onset Pancreatic Fistula After Distal Pancreatectomy

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study was conducted to determine the clinical significance of pancreatic stump ischemia (PSI) in predicting late‐onset pancreatic fistula (LOPF) following stapled distal pancreatectomy (DP). Methods A total of 165 patients who underwent stapled DP between July 2018 and March 2024 were included.

Looking at Soil as It Is: Evolution of Microscopic Soil Characterization From Kubiëna to Artificial Intelligence

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.

Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.

In search of a sound scientific basis for quantification of soil precompression stress

Soil Science Society of America Journal
Abstract Soil compaction is a serious threat to soil functions and ecosystem services. Persistent soil deformation takes place when mechanical stress exceeds soil strength. Risk assessment models typically assume soil to be elastic to a precompression stress level and plastic above this threshold.

Punching shear of unbonded post‐tensioned steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs: The fiber contribution

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) enhances the flexural capacity of flat slabs and, due to its effectiveness in statically redundant bi‐dimensional elements, represents a viable alternative to conventional reinforcement. Although numerous studies have investigated the flexural behavior of SFRC slabs with and without bonded reinforcement ...

Pain Sensitivity Profiles Are Associated With Muscle Biomechanics and Clinical Pain in Persons With Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Objective There is growing evidence that knee osteoarthritis (OA), a significant source of chronic pain, is only partly explained by joint pathophysiology, varies significantly between individuals and may be partly driven by changes in periarticular tissues.

Investigation of the failure characteristics of fissure tunnels under dynamic and static combinations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 43-55, March 2026.
This article aims to investigate the dynamic fracture response of fractured tunnel models under zero geological stress through physical experiments and numerical simulations. It further simulates the dynamic fracture characteristics of fractured tunnel models under geological stress ranging from 0 to 2.5 MPa using the numerical software AUTODYN ...

From Origami to Bistable and Laminate Structures: A Review for Multifunctional Applications from Structural Perspective of Shape‐Changing Structures

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This review explores how shape‐changing structures—origami, bistable, and laminate structures—enable multifunctionality in soft robotics and metamaterials. Starting from structural design, it examines core principles, real‐world applications, and ongoing challenges.

Nonadiabatic and Anharmonic Effects in High‐Pressure H3S and D3S Superconductors

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 1, January 2026.
Superconductivity in high‐pressure H3S${\rm H}_3{\rm S}$ and D3S${\rm D}_3{\rm S}$ is studied using first‐principles calculations that include anharmonic lattice dynamics and nonadiabatic electron‐phonon vertex corrections, going beyond the conventional Migdal‐Eliashberg framework. These effects suppress the effective electron–phonon coupling and lower
