Flume experiments on macro‐roughness elements: Hydraulic response and potential influences on flood risk and habitat diversity

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Physical modelling of macro‐roughness elements for river restoration showed that backwater rise depends mostly on the relative structure width and approaching flow Froude number, with only minor differences among designs. Internal geometry modulated turbulent kinetic energy and flow partition between gap and wake.

Flow resistance parameterization for large wood in two‐dimensional depth‐averaged models: Effects of flow condition, blockage, and sediment

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using 16 flume experiments and 2D modeling, we show that large‐wood flow resistance is not a fixed property of wood porosity but varies systematically with flow condition, blockage and most strongly sediment‐shaped bed topography. The drag coefficient and Manning's n are interchangeable, but calibration is essential where scour occurs.

Design and Manufacturing of Multifunctional Hydroxyapatite‐Coated Ti6Al4V Implants With Cissus quadrangularis

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a novel approach to enhance the early‐stage osseointegration of orthopedic implants through surface engineering. Lithium (Li), strontium (Sr), and silver (Ag)‐doped hydroxyapatite (HA) were coated on Ti6Al4V substrates using RF induction based plasma spray coating and loaded with polydopamine (PD) and Cissus quadrangularis ...

Industrial Hydrocarbons Exposure Deteriorates Sperm Integrity and Reproductive Function

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or metal fumes in the workplace may be detrimental to male fertility. The present study compared sperm concentration, total motility, strict morphology and oxidative stress and SDF levels between 81 men, controls (n = 17) and workers from plastic industry workers (n = 18), steel ...

Increasing artificial light at night enhances salmonid predator foraging efficiency in an urbanized lake

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) poses a threat to ecosystems globally. It includes both direct and indirect light, or skyglow, which occurs when ALAN scatters in the atmosphere, extending beyond its original source. We analyzed ALAN trends in Lake Washington, WA, from 2014 to 2023 using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS ...
