The lower jaw of Devonian ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii): Anatomy, relationships, and functional morphology

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 550-602, March 2026.
Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Large Amplitude Free Vibration of thick Laminated Composite Plates with Magnetorheological Core Via a New Sinusoidal Shear Deformation Theory

Large amplitude free vibrations have nonlinear behavior that may be detrimental to structures . As a result, they need to be effectively regulated .A composite sandwich panel with a magnetorheological (MR) core's nonlinear vibration was examined, and the softening and hardening behaviors were investigated utilizing the New Sinusoidal Shear Deformation ...

Fractal Anatomy of Human Organs: A Narrative Review of Structure, Function, and Clinical Perspectives

Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 273-280, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Fractal geometry describes complex, self‐similar patterns that repeat across spatial scales and is increasingly recognized as relevant in anatomical research. Indeed, the fractal organization is consistently observed in respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, nervous, renal, hepatic, and dermatological systems.

Two‐Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Properties Enhanced by Nano‐ and Micro‐Scale Shape Control

MetalMat, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review explores current strategies for shaping two‐dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) beyond their planar form. It highlights how strain engineering, nanopatterning, and growth on complex substrates modulate their mechanical, optical, and electronic properties.

A Thermodynamic Framework for Turing‐Type Instabilities in Porous Media: Part I Theory

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Pattern formation in geological materials is commonly described using analogies to Turing‐type reaction–diffusion systems, yet a unifying thermodynamic explanation remains elusive. Here we develop a multiscale, thermodynamically consistent framework for pattern‐forming instabilities in porous media undergoing coupled thermo–hydro–mechanical ...

Effect of Dislocations on Polycrystal Anelasticity Inferred From In Situ Forced Oscillation Test

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract To understand the effect of dislocations on the velocity and attenuation of seismic waves, the anelasticity of polycrystalline samples was measured in situ during dislocation creep. We used polycrystalline borneol as a rock analog. Because the effects of grain boundary mechanism on the anelastic properties of this material are well known ...

Integrating GNSS and Hydrological Data to Understand Seasonal Microseismicity at La Soufrière de Guadeloupe

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract La Soufrière de Guadeloupe volcano exhibits microseismic activity dominated by volcano‐tectonic repeaters, mainly occurring in swarms clustered in a sub‐vertical conduit beneath the Tarissan acid lake (TAS) at depths less than 800 m. Following the April 2018 earthquake (Mlv 4.1), which likely damaged the dome, swarms intensified and show ...
