Hydrothermal dolomitisation of a deep‐water bioherm isolated in a non‐dolomitised intraplatform basin within the Norian Dolomia Principale (Southern Alps, northern Italy)

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
We propose that one of the largest known bioconstructions (the Monte Zenone bioherm) in the Southern Alps, northern Italy, and its growth on a tilted and drowned platform block of the Norian Dolomia Principale was controlled by hydrothermal dolomitisation from fault‐controlled fluids during the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic rifting phase. Dolomitisation

The Impact of Soil Anisotropy on Surface Settlements Induced by Tunnelling: A Revealing Parametric Study and Nomogram Development to Improve Modelling Practice

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 1218-1228, 10 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural soils often exhibit clearly anisotropic mechanical properties, yet this characteristic is frequently overlooked in numerical models due to the practical challenges of determining anisotropic parameters. As a result, the influence of anisotropy remains difficult to anticipate, and engineers have limited tools to incorporate it into ...

Advances in Bioinspired Interfacial Adhesion with Frictional Enhancement: From Fundamental Research to Biomimetic Applications

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Biological models in nature reveal remarkable friction‐adhesion mechanisms, driven by intermolecular forces and suction. Researchers leverage these principles to design advanced materials with enhanced adhesion properties. By optimizing these materials under stimuli like light and electricity, new solutions emerge for regulating interface interactions ...

Strip loading in reinforced concrete: Mechanical modeling and experimental validation

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 163-192, February 2026.
Abstract Strip loading of reinforced concrete is a common problem in engineering practice. The concrete compressive strength at the load introduction can be several times higher than the uniaxial concrete compressive strength, which can be attributed to geometrical and passive confining stresses caused by load dispersion and reinforcement, respectively.

Distributed AutoML framework for multi‐objective optimization of concrete crack segmentation models

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 998-1019, February 2026.
Abstract Monitoring cracks in concrete surfaces is essential for structural safety. While machine vision techniques have received significant interest in this domain, selecting optimal models and tuning hyperparameters remain challenging. This paper proposes a Distributed Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) framework for efficiently designing and ...

Erving Goffman at 100: A Chameleon Seen as a Rorschach Test within a Kaleidoscope

Symbolic Interaction, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 3-47, February 2026.
The 100th anniversary of Erving Goffman's birth was in 2022. Drawing on his work, the Goffman archives, the secondary literature, and personal experiences with him and those in his university of Chicago cohort, I reflect on some implications of his work and life, and the inseparable issues of understanding society.

Current and future global distribution of the peach twig borer, Anarsia lineatella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 94-107, February 2026.
Biological invasions and climate change drive species redistribution, threatening biodiversity, agriculture, and public health. Species distribution modelling (Maxent algorithm) predicted Anarsia lineatella current and future global range, identifying risk areas in Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas under changing climate conditions.

The behaviour–performance continuum: how does individual variation in locomotor abilities relate to behaviour?

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 486-518, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A series of terminological, technical, conceptual, and statistical challenges present themselves when trying to study correlations between measures of performance abilities (what an animal can do) and behavioural traits (what an animal chooses to do).
