Greenhouse Gas Flux Response in Biochar‐ and Compost‐Amended Lawn Soils Under Simulated Water Saturation Conditions

open access: yesCLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding greenhouse gas emission dynamics in lawn soils is important for improving climate change mitigation strategies in urban and suburban landscapes. In this greenhouse mesocosm study, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes were measured from 12 turfgrass soil columns arranged in an unreplicated ...

Encroachment on Water Corridors Drives Farmers–Giraffe Conflicts Along River Tana Ecosystem in Eastern Kenya

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Human–wildlife conflict in Garissa County, Kenya, is intensified by the degradation of historical water corridors, driven mainly by Prosopis juliflora invasion, farmland expansion, and riverbank erosion. This study identifies conflict hotspots near water sources and croplands, and shows that supplementary feeding effectively reduces giraffe incursions ...

Development of Full‐Scale Experiment‐Based Seismic Fragility Functions for Code‐Compliant Fire Sprinkler Piping Systems

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

Epilepsy Knowledge, Attitudes, and First‐Aid Practices Among Syrian University Students: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Epilepsy affects about 50 million people worldwide, with stigma and misconceptions that contribute to social exclusion and psychological distress, sometimes more disabling than the physical symptoms. In Syria, epilepsy awareness among university students remains under‐studied, despite their role as future healthcare ...

Physiological and Agronomic Responses of Tamani Grass Under Different Nitrogen Fertilization Strategies

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.
Nitrogen is the most limiting nutrient for plant growth. Therefore, nitrogen fertilization of pastures must be prioritized to sustain high pasture yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate physiological and agronomic responses of Tamani grass managed under different nitrogen fertilization strategies.
