Evaluation of Modeling Assumptions for Predicting Structural Damage and Train Derailment Under Earthquake Loading

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 7, Page 1514-1532, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid development of new railway networks and the aging of existing infrastructure in seismic‐prone regions continue to motivate the need for efficient methods to simulate the dynamic behavior of coupled train track structure systems. While detailed train–structure interaction (TSI) models can capture complex mechanisms, they are often too

Sustainable treatment of banana leaves for phytosanitary applications: impact, spreading, and impregnation of mineral oil

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5555-5566, June 2026.
Mineral oil droplets spread anisotropically, penetrate banana leaf tissues, and diffuse into the palisade parenchyma, revealing a delayed, Fickian mechanism that supports improved phytosanitary spray strategies. Abstract BACKGROUND Efficient application of phytosanitary sprays is essential for sustainable control of foliar fungal diseases such as Black

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Treatments on Polypropylene Macro Synthetic Fibers for Improving Adhesion in Structural Concrete Reinforcement: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 20, May 20, 2026.
Surface functionalization of polypropylene macrofibers to enhance fiber‐matrix interfacial bonding. ABSTRACT Concrete is the most used higher compressive strength‐building material, albeit brittle to tensile, and flexural loads. Polypropylene (PP) synthetic polymeric macrofibres are commonly employed as reinforcement material to prevent this situation ...

Enhancing Catalyst Stability for Magnetically Induced Aqueous Catalysis: Functionalization with a Hydrosoluble Zwitterionic Amidinate Ligand

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.
A stable, water‐compatible catalyst for the magnetically induced hydrogenation of biomass‐derived compounds in aqueous media was developed by functionalizing magnetic core–shell FeCo@Ni nanoparticles with a new hydrosoluble zwitterionic amidinate ligand via ligand exchange in a biphasic system. The efficient conversion of biomass‐derived compounds into
