How Salmonella Works Under Osmotic and Desiccation Stresses

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Salmonella remains one of the leading threats in foods with reduced water activity, where it can survive for long periods and cause outbreaks. Its persistence stems from a wide array of adaptive strategies shaped by the selective pressures imposed by low‐moisture foods.

Potential New Records of Mites in Australia Based on Citizen Science (Acariformes, Parasitiformes)

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reports on 10 species, 10 genera and 1 family of mites that are recorded in the iNaturalist database but otherwise not recorded from Australia. They include five species of plant parasites in the family Eriophyidae that may be economically important pests.

Seeding in single species aggregations promotes evenness of diverse shrub species in Banksia woodlands in the first year of growth

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Species interactions are an overlooked yet important determinant of plant community assembly in ecological restoration. Specifically, they may determine species that are helped or hindered by neighboring plants during community assembly. Evidence suggests that intraspecific aggregation in combination with interspecific segregation

Component improvement of free-piston Stirling engine key technology for space power [PDF]

open access: yes
The successful performance of the 25 kW Space Power Demonstrator (SPD) engine during an extensive testing period has provided a baseline of free piston Stirling engine technology from which future space Stirling engines may evolve. Much of the success of

Evaluation of a Stirling engine heater bypass with the NASA Lewis nodal-analysis performance code [PDF]

open access: yes
In support of the U.S. Department of Energy's Stirling Engine Highway Vehicle Systems program, the NASA Lewis Research Center investigated whether bypassing the P-40 Stirling engine heater during regenerative cooling would improve engine performance. The
