New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.Rainfall‐induced landslides involving on Auckland Volcanic Field scoria cones are highly unusual, compared with widespread landsliding in the surrounding Auckland clay‐rich residual soils. Indeed, while Auckland can suffer from thousands of rainfall‐induced shallow landslides from severe storms at subdecadal timescales, these are usually limited to ...

Evaluation of Sensitivity to Slaking by Bulk Density Measurements of Disrupted Fragments (Aggregates) [PDF]
, 1983 The study shows that other than the four factors viz: slaking, dispersion, carbonate or gypsum content and flocculation, the size and bulk density of disrupted aggregates are also important when classifying the soils into their corresponding water ...

Aging Triggers an Intestinal Energy Crisis and HDL3 Deficiency Disrupting Gut–Liver Axis Homeostasis
Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 3, March 2026.The age‐related mitochondrial energy crisis and the consequent disruption of intestinal HDL3 biosynthesis converge to disrupt the gut–liver HDL3‐LPS/TLR4 axis, compromising hepatic anti‐inflammatory function and driving liver injury, an effect reversible upon NMN administration.

Inverse Association Between Betel Quid Use and Diabetes in Rural Bangladesh
American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Betel quid is used as a mild stimulant in many parts of South and East Asia and the Pacific. In observational studies, its use has been associated with elevated risk for diabetes, but studies in animal models suggest some component(s) of betel quid could reduce risk.

Impact of basidiomycete fungi on the wettability of soil contaminated with a hydrophobic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon [PDF]
, 2006 Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present a challenge to bioremediation because they are hydrophobic, thus influencing the water availability and repellency of soil.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 329-343, February 2026.The cumulative effect of EA analgesia is partially attributed to the activation of EA‐TRAPed cells in ACC. Multiple EA sessions and single EA sessions activated different neuronal populations in the ACC. The enhanced analgesic effect of multiple EA sessions may be attributed to an increase in the proportion of GABAergic neurons within the ACC. Abstract
