Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

Aerial and Space‐Borne Seismology on Venus: Viability and Design Implications for Future Missions

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Venus' evolution remains a mystery because of the lack of in situ geophysical data to constrain its interior structure. Recently‐selected planetary missions VERITAS (NASA), DAVINCI+ (NASA), and EnVision (ESA) will investigate the planet's interior, surface, and atmospheric chemistry.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: recent developments [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2017
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare prion disorder that has been the subject of both professional and public interest following the identification of variant CJD as a zoonotic disorder.

Case report: Two clusters of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease cases within 1 year in West Michigan

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
BackgroundCreutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, rapidly progressive, and uniformly fatal neurodegenerative disease. The reported incidence of CJD is 1 to 2 per million people worldwide annually, with fewer than 1,000 cases in the United States per ...

Complex Shear‐Wave Splitting Behavior in the Northern Andes and Possible Implications for Mantle Flow Around the Caldas Tear

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We investigate shear‐wave splitting of SKS and SKKS phases from teleseismic earthquakes to study the anisotropic structure of the lithosphere and upper mantle beneath the Colombian Andes. This area is shaped by complex interactions between the subducting Nazca and Caribbean plates beneath the South American plate. A recent broadband deployment

Detection and Discrimination of Classical and Atypical L-Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy by Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2015
ABSTRACTStatutory surveillance of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) indicates that cattle are susceptible to both classical BSE (C-BSE) and atypical forms of BSE. Atypical forms of BSE appear to be sporadic and thus may never be eradicated. A major challenge for prion surveillance is the lack of sufficiently practical and sensitive tests for ...

RT-QuIC Detection of Pathological α-Synuclein in Skin Punches of Patients with Lewy Body Disease [PDF]

, 2021
Background: Evidence suggests that skin represents a suitable matrix for demonstrating α-synuclein oligomers as a diagnostic biomarker for Lewy body disease.

High Relevance of Fatty Acid Oxidation in a Migrating Mammal, the Nathusius' Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus nathusii)

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.
Bats can sustain powered flight, but their reliance on fatty acid oxidation may limit long‐distance migration compared to birds. Using untargeted metabolomics, we analyzed blood metabolites of Nathusius' pipistrelle under controlled flight and migratory field conditions to identify fuel use.

Pore Size and Wettability Control Dissolution Trapping Regimes of CO2 in Nano Porous Media

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract We simulate supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2 ${\text{scCO}}_{2}$) dissolution in water in nano/submicron pore‐throats (14.3–21.5 nm) using a multi‐component, multiphase pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann model closed by a Peng–Robinson equation of state.

Enhanced Sensitivity of a Modified Quaking‐Induced Conversion Diagnostic Test for the Broad Detection of Sporadic and Inherited Prion Diseases: A Retrospective Study

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, May 2026.
Objective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...
