Predicting Direction of High‐Speed Wind: A Bayesian Approach to Conditional Cylindrical Distributions

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐speed winds pose several dangers to both the built environment and the natural environment, affecting human lives and livelihoods, as well as endangering wildlife. On the other hand, high‐speed winds can be beneficially harnessed through the optimal orientation of turbines to maximize wind energy production.

A twofold development and demise of pine stands in the Netherlands during the Allerød interstadial: two hypotheses to explain a link to climate change recorded in Greenland ice

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 575-586, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The second half of the Allerød interstadial in the Netherlands is characterised by pine forest. Excavated trunks of 165 pine trees at Leusden‐Den Treek in the central Netherlands (LETR16) were dated by dendrochronology and radiocarbon. Two chronologically separated pine forest phases occurred during relatively warm periods as recorded in ...

Effect of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivars on the milk yield of grazing dairy cows

Animal, 2013
The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of four perennial ryegrass cultivars: Bealey, Astonenergy, Spelga and AberMagic on the milk yield and milk composition of grazing dairy cows. Two 4 × 4 latin square experiments were completed,

Automated Segmentation of Median Nerve Cross‐Sectional Area in Healthy Controls and Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Using a Convolutional Neural Network

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 843-850, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The cross‐sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve (MN) is a key parameter for confirming carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with ultrasound. This study evaluates the performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a 2D U‐Net architecture for automated MN CSA segmentation in both healthy individuals and patients with CTS ...

Comparison of Piezoelectric and High‐Speed Drills for Frontal Beak Osteotomy in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery—Exploratory Study

Clinical Otolaryngology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 386-393, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Frontal beak reduction is a critical and challenging step in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Traditional high‐speed drills can risk thermal injury and soft tissue trauma, whereas piezoelectric surgery uses ultrasonic vibrations for selective bone cutting and may improve surgical precision.

Evapotranspiration Everywhere, All the Time: Towards a Unified View From Earth Observation

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
This paper discusses the evolution and revolution of Earth observation for evapotranspiration (ET), as we advanced from the first Landsat satellite and development of ET models through the progression of increasingly higher resolution across international space agencies and commercial industry with increasing ET model sophistication, cloud computing ...

Blockade of Complement Cell Lysis and C3d Fixation by Patient HLA‐A1 Antibodies: Towards a New Therapy for Prevention of Antibody‐Mediated Rejection

HLA, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Donor‐specific HLA antibodies (DSA) occurring prior to or appearing de novo after transplantation play a major role in kidney graft loss, mainly caused by complement activation by DSA. As potential therapeutics, immunologically inert human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) preventing binding of DSA to HLA‐A1 molecules would limit their detrimental ...

A Potential Novel Molecular Interaction in Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome in Lung Transplantation Patients: The Role of SERPINA3 and Osteoprotegerin

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
Serum SERPINA3 levels were higher in BOS compared to non‐BOS patients. OPG and SERPINA3 positive cells colocalized with tryptase positive mast cells in airways from BOS lung tissue. OPG and SERPINA3 staining positively correlated in partially and completely obstructed airways.

Estimation of Control Rod Worth in a VVER-1000 Reactor using DRAGON4 and DONJON4

Nukleonika, 2014
One of the main issues in safety and control systems design of power and research reactors is to prevent accidents or reduce the imposed hazard. Control rod worth plays an important role in safety and control of reactors.
