The Mutable Original: How Chinese Counterfeits Become Nigerian Originals in African Markets

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 581-594, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Affordable Chinese copies of Western brands are ubiquitous in African markets. Despite democratizing consumer access, these goods appear to cement hegemonic value hierarchies that rank Chinese or local products as inferior to Western goods.

Modulating Hunting Atmospheres: Mud and Material Flows Beyond the Kill

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 629-639, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article argues that hunting is not a bounded event but a materially redistributed atmosphere that extends beyond the kill and across field, truck, clothing, and home. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic fieldwork with wild boar hunters in Uruguay, I show how mud, odors, blood, and bodily residues carry the sensory, affective, and material ...

The Survival and Success of Teeth With External Cervical Resorption: A Multi‐Centre, Retrospective Study

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 9, Page 1841-1857, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the survival and success outcomes of teeth affected by external cervical resorption (ECR) managed using three distinct treatment strategies, with periapical radiographs and small field of view cone beam computed tomography used for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Modelling Spatial and Temporal Controls on Leaky Wooden Dam Effectiveness for Catchment‐Scale Flood Mitigation in an Upland Catchment

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural Flood Management (NFM) is increasingly adopted as a sustainable strategy for mitigating flood risk. Among these measures, the installation of leaky wooden dams (LWDs) at catchment scale is a widely used intervention aimed at slowing flow and desynchronising runoff peaks between sub‐catchments, thereby reducing flood magnitude.

Amidase‐Catalyzed Desorption of CO2 Captured in Aqueous Monoethanolamine (MEA) Solutions

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 33, 10 August 2026.
CO2 is captured in aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) sorbents as carbamate and bicarbonate/carbonate. The subsequent desorption for storage or utilization is energy‐intensive, and this is a major impediment to industrial carbon dioxide removal (CDR) processes. The desorption process can be promoted by enzymes that catalyze the dissociation of distinct CO2‐

Comprehensive Analysis for the Evaluation of Torrential Floods and Slope Stability of River Channels: La China River Area (Colombia)

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Colombia and other tropical regions face a very high threat from torrential floods, which have resulted in over 25,000 deaths in a single event. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive assessment methodology to zone and determine the magnitude of these disasters; therefore, this research aims to help fill this gap.
