Tracing Human Footprint in Bird Nests: Plastic Occurrence and Drivers in the Long‐Legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Long‐legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus) nests function as long‐term reservoirs of macroplastics, with plastic material persisting in nest structures and being transferred to other bird species through interspecific nest reuse. This persistence creates an overlooked pathway for the accumulation and spread of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems, with

Urban Stone Marten (Martes foina)–Human Conflicts: A Longitudinal Survey‐Based Approach to a Persistent Challenge

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Interviews with car mechanics in Kraków (2010 vs. 2023) examined long‐term human–stone marten conflict related to car engine damage. While the total number of reported incidents changed little, the conflict rate relative to the growing number of registered cars significantly decreased.

Compounding effects of cattle, wild ungulates, and beaver impede riparian restoration

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Planting native woody vegetation is a common restoration practice to increase stream shade, an important salmonid habitat recovery strategy in the interior Pacific Northwest (PNW, USA). Herbivory by domestic livestock and wild mammals, a ubiquitous disturbance in PNW riparian zones, is a common barrier to survival and growth of plantings ...

TENSILE STRENGTH OF STEEL ROPES OF DIAMOND WIRE SAWS

open access: yesRudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2001
The efficiency of diamond wire saw upon ex plo i tation of natural stone depends on the right choice of the const ructional and technological fac¬tors of the machine, diamond wire and conditions, and way of explora¬tion in the particular kind of the rock.

Ocean Acidification Cannot Mitigate Warming‐Induced Physiological Stress in a Key Foundation Kelp

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Ocean warming and acidification are reshaping coastal ecosystems, but their combined effects on foundation species remain unresolved. Using mesocosm experiments, we tested for the individual and combined effects of ocean warming and acidification on the juvenile kelp Laminaria digitata.

Percutaneous Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale in a Patient With Incomplete Cor Triatriatum Sinister: A Case Report

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 54, Issue 7, Page 1752-1755, September 2026.
We present the case of a 55‐year‐old male who experienced a cryptogenic ischemic stroke, likely due to a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the setting of an incomplete cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) and a 30 mm GORE Cardioform Septal Occluder was successfully implanted.

Wire Rope Research: Analysis of Bending Fatigue in a 2-Inch IWRC Wire Rope

open access: yes
A unique machine for inducing bending fatigue in wire ropes was built at the U.S. Bureau of Mines' Pittsburgh Research Center. This machine can produce nine levels of degradation through repetitive cycling of long samples of wire ropes of the types used ...

Import substitution of combination wire rope. Part 2. Production and standardisation of 17 mm dia combination wire rope.

open access: yes, 1989
The prototype combination wire rope (Cift-CWR 1) developed for deep sea trawling was further studied for improvement, optimisation of efficiency and standardization. A series of improved prototype combination wire ropes (Cift-CWR 2 to 6) were twisted and
