A global assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren: Functional consistency with depth
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Lebensspuren—sedimentary traces produced by benthic organisms—are widespread on deep‐sea floors but remain infrequently reported from abyssal (~ 3000–6000) and hadal (> 6000 m) environments. Here, we present the most comprehensive assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren to date, spanning multiple ocean basins and reaching full‐ocean

The Cost of Belonging: School Uniform Affordability in Aotearoa New Zealand
Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 1, March 2026.This article presents findings on school uniform affordability as part of a broader feasibility study on school uniforms in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Data were collected from students, their parents/caregivers, and school staff across 3 secondary schools with differing socioeconomic profiles, using a combination of surveys, focus groups, and one‐on‐one ...

An experimental study into the onset of scuffing using a new contra-rotation test method [PDF]
, 2019 Scuffing is a surface failure mode that occurs in sliding-rolling contacts subjected to high loads and high sliding speeds, such as those in gears and cam-followers.

Laser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 20, Issue 5, 6 March 2026.This study demonstrates uniform, durable non‐iridescent structural coloration using polystyrene nanoparticles randomly embedded in a thick sodium silicate with absorptive additives. By suppressing the effects of the structure factor and multiple scattering, this approach achieves uniform coloration from the backscattering.
