International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 2, Page 368-377, 15 July 2026.What's new? While the association between tobacco consumption and oral cancer is well established, the effect of cessation, particularly of chewing tobacco, the most common tobacco product in South Asia, is understudied. This case–control study in an Indian population demonstrates that a longer duration of tobacco smoking and chewing cessation is ...

Landslides induced by slaking of geomaterial
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 The geological event that happens because of an unbalance between shear strength and shear stress on rock mass is known as a landslide. This usually occurs due to improper handling of the exposed material.

Factors for strength attenuation of mudstone during slaking and disintegration
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019 Slaking, a common engineering characteristic, is the main weathering mode from clay-bearing rocks to soils. Due to the influences of wetting-drying cycles of natural climate, mudstone can slake and disintegrate into the grains with different sizes, which

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Soil salinity and sodicity severely limit agricultural productivity in the Awash Basin of Ethiopia, demanding innovative reclamation strategies. This study evaluated the efficiency of phosphogypsum (PG) amendment at varying loadings under intermittent leaching using pore volume for saline–sodic clay loam soils at Kessem Sugar Estate, Ethiopia.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

“Flames Over Persepolis”: New Scientific Evidence Supporting Historical Perspectives
Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 421-433, June 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates the burning of Persepolis Terrace, historically attributed to Alexander III in 330 bce. A review of classical accounts and excavation reports, combined with diagnostic surveys, confirms the fire's historicity and provides novel insights.

Moderate Fire Temperatures Affect the Structure of Clayey Oxisol Aggregates
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 8, Page 3169-3181, 15 May 2026.ABSTRACT Wildfires have become increasingly frequent and intense worldwide, raising concerns about their impacts on soil systems. However, the thermal responses of clay‐rich Oxisols, dominated by Fe and Al oxides, remain poorly understood. In this study, samples from the 0 to 5 cm layer of six Oxisols were subjected to controlled heating at ...

Experimental investigation of the influence of the growth of saprotrophic fungi (Pleurotus ostreatus) on the aggregate stability of a silty sand [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesGranular soils are highly susceptible to erosion, a process that may contribute to slope instability. For example, gully erosion promotes preferential flow and toe erosion, eventually leading to undercutting and slope failure. Given that soil erodibility

Simple soil health management indices to evaluate row crop management
Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Numerical expression of agronomic practices will improve the communication and scientific evaluation of soil health management systems. The development of simple indices computed from management data to evaluate effects on soil health could improve communication with on‐farm and off‐farm stakeholders about practice adoption.
