Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract We present idealized 3‐D discrete element simulations exploring how varying boundary roughness and grain‐size distribution affect bulk granular‐rheology and basal‐force distributions. Boundary roughness has a direct control on the internal static friction coefficient.

Alcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, Volume 50, Issue 2, February 2026.Using mice, we applied multi‐omics to compare liver and skeletal muscle after chronic alcohol consumption. The liver responded more strongly across genes, proteins, and metabolites, with a lowered PC:PE ratio. Muscle showed inflammation, extracellular matrix activation, impaired mitochondrial energetics, and an elevated PC:PE ratio. Lipidomics affected

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

Growth of Subsurface Fatigue Fractures in Large‐Size Bevel Gears
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 640-652, February 2026.ABSTRACT Large‐size bevel gears are commonly used in marine industry for the applications of propulsion, such as azimuth thrusters. The gears are typically designed for specific use, as they are directly transferring power from one component to another.

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Elite performance in Olympic winter sports depends on the interplay among the athlete, equipment, and the snow or ice. This naturally evolves with temperature, humidity, wind, preparation, and contact between the equipment and its surface. Together, these factors continuously rebalance the forces of gravity, aerodynamic drag, and friction ...
