Mechanical Fatigue in Liquid‐Metal Interconnects: Failure Mechanism Analysis and Validation of Improvement Strategies

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 15, 7 August 2026.
Multi‐million cycle reliability for liquid metal stretchable electronics is achieved through a continuous cycle of mechanical testing, failure mode and mechanism analysis and implementing subsequent mitigation strategies. ABSTRACT Stretchable electronics that combine mechanical compliance with reliable electrical performance are essential for ...

Electromagnetism Mechanism for Enhancing the Refueling Cycle Length of a WWER-1000

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2017
Increasing the operation cycle length can be an important goal in the fuel reload design of a nuclear reactor core. In this research paper, a new optimization approach, electromagnetism mechanism (EM), is applied to the fuel arrangement design of the ...

Signals of Paleotemperature in the Age Structure and Seasonal Distribution of Pollination Syndromes Across a Temperate Region

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Species with wind & insect pollination syndromes show distinct age structure patterns. Splitting insect pollination into different categories show constrasting age structure. Modern flowering seasons track paleotemperature signatures. ABSTRACT Across the planet, angiosperm diversification has been shaped by palaeoclimates and biotic interactions ...

Selecting Promising Soil Quality Indicators for Monitoring Soil Management Effects Based on 10 European Long‐Term Field Experiments

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 499-517, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background: Soil quality can be measured through soil quality indicators that reflect soil processes. Aim: The aim of this study was to (1) identify a limited set of soil quality indicators that are most sensitive to agricultural soil management and that are widely applicable regardless of pedo‐climatic conditions, and (2) link common ...

Application of WIM to pavement design. Effect of WIM accuracy

Informes de la Construccion, 2017
El pesaje de vehículos en movimiento permite conocer los pesos de los vehículos y sus ejes cuando circulan a su velocidad normal de recorrido. En este artículo se describe su aplicación al dimensionamiento de firmes viarios y se estudia la influencia de la precisión de los datos obtenidos mediante el pesaje dinámico en el cálculo de la vida útil de los

Movement decisions by black‐tailed godwit families with chicks in an intensively managed dairy farming landscape

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings show that godwit family movements reflect active responses to habitat characteristics at and around their natal site. Our study emphasises the importance of implementing habitat‐improving measures and protecting not only sites within high‐density nesting areas but also the surrounding landscape.

Acute and chronic application of novel incremental breath‐hold technique increases endurance exercise performance in healthy men and male military personnel

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 15, August 2026.
Abstract We evaluated acute (Study A) and chronic (Study B) effects of a novel breath‐hold technique (BHT) protocol on performance in military personnel. In Study A, 11 healthy male participants completed either rest or a 40‐min BHT before 15 min steady‐state (SS) cycling at 80% V̇O2max and a 5‐min time trial (TT). BHT acutely increased V̇O2 (200.3%, p
