Quantitative microbial risk assessment with microbial source tracking for enteric pathogens in southwest Wisconsin private wells

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Private wells supply drinking water for many households, and their contamination by fecal microbes presents a risk of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI). Risk is thought to vary by contaminating fecal source, but specific associations with fecal source are unknown for most private wells in the United States. This study characterizes AGI risk

Fruit Texture Measurement: A Review of Biological and Mechanical Interactions

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Textural changes are an important aspect of fruit ripening. Accurate measurement of texture allows for a scientific understanding of fruit development including aspects of maturation and ripening, the effect of storage treatments, and the sensory acceptability for a range of fruit species.

Global Bottomside Ionospheric Modeling Based on GNSS‐RO Observations From the Tianmu‐1 Constellation

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Radio occultation (RO) observations provide a crucial means for estimating the global Vertical Bottomside Electron Content (VBEC) in the ionosphere. However, the limited number of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites in existing RO missions restricts the capability for high‐precision reconstruction of global VBEC spatiotemporal variations.

Solar Activity Impacts on Ionospheric Scintillation and Precise Point Positioning Based on Multi‐Year GNSS and Scintillation Observations

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Solar activity induces ionospheric irregularities that degrade Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) performance through amplitude and phase scintillation. Although numerous studies have investigated event‐driven or regional responses, the nonlinear coupling between solar radiation, ionospheric scintillation, and precise point positioning (

PPP‐RTK Atmospheric Correction Generation and Service Applicability: A Case Study During Typhoon Saola and Moderate Geomagnetic Disturbances in Hong Kong

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Complex space weather, such as typhoons and solar activity, can cause heavy rainfall and ionospheric disturbances, affecting the quality of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals. Among GNSS positioning techniques, Precise Point Positioning Real‐time Kinematic (PPP‐RTK) uses atmospheric corrections and bias products to achieve fast ...

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli in Plateau Pika (Ochotona curzoniae) on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are an emerging group of zoonotic pathogens. Ruminants are the natural reservoir of STEC. In this study we determined the prevalence and characteristics of the STEC in plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) on the

The Effectiveness of Postharvest Processing on Microbiological Safety of Game Meat—A Systematic Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The rising global consumption of game meat has highlighted gaps in the management of biological hazards associated with its production and consumption, and the safety of processed game meat products remain insufficiently addressed. Therefore, there is a need for research evaluating the effectiveness of processing and preservation methods in ...
