Through Time and Across Traits: Evaluating Explanations of Human Evolution
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT We argue that current explanatory practice misses two situations that can arise in any lineage, not only ours. The first is dynamic: traits continue changing in one direction when a lineage's own niche construction keeps enlarging the problem it faces.

Overshooting of Hypoplastic Models With Intergranular Strain: Manifestation, Implications and Remedy
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 13, Page 5068-5091, September 2026.ABSTRACT Intergranular strain extensions of hypoplasticity (IGS, ISA, GIS) are widely used to model small‐strain and cyclic soil behaviour. However, recent studies and our own simulations reveal that these models can exhibit stress overshooting not only under repeated small loading cycles but also during monotonic loading.

‘I'm Dead!’: Action, Homicide and Denied Catharsis in Early Modern Spanish Drama
Renaissance Studies, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 570-588, September 2026.Abstract In early modern Spanish drama, the expression ‘¡Muerto soy!’ (‘I'm dead!’) is commonly used to indicate a literal death or to figuratively express a character's extreme fear or passion. Recent studies, even one collection published under the title of ‘¡Muerto soy!’, have paid scant attention to the phrase in context, a serious omission when ...

Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Volume 73, Issue 4, September 2026.ABSTRACT This study considers consumers' environmental awareness of polluting firms' managerial delegation contracts and compares the effects of committed and time‐consistent emission tax policies. It reveals that when environmental performance (EP) incentives prevail, sales performance (SP) incentives depend on the emission tax type and competition ...

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.We present the MyoRobot 3.0, an advanced platform that combines high‐resolution imaging with automated mechanical testing to improve the accuracy of single muscle fibre analysis. The system tracks fibre diameter changes during stretch, preventing major stress miscalculations.

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 8, Page 2823-2832, August 2026.Abstract Purpose A single hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA) angle does not reflect the biomechanics of native, arthritic or prosthetic knees. Since HKA varies throughout flexion, dynamic coronal alignment is best represented by a kinematic curve plotting HKA against the range of motion.

On the Assembly of Actin Polymerization‐Powered Motors
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.Actin polymerization‐powered motors have the highest speed when the actin recruiting‐polymerizing proteins are immobilized in polymer brushes on their surface. These motors orbit around larger tracer particles at pH above the isoelectric point of ActA but dock onto the tracer particles’ surface at lower pH. ABSTRACT Nano‐ and micromotors are a class of
