Micrography and XRF Techniques to Investigate Protohistoric Gold Artifacts: The Case of Roca Vecchia (Lecce, Italy)

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 51-63, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Protohistoric gold findings from the archaeological site of Roca Vecchia (Melendugno, Lecce, Italy) are analyzed involving micrography and stratified XRF analysis. This exploitation allows to get a deeper insight into ancient gold manufacturing and wear processes adopted in the Southern Italian FBA.

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Wooden Construction Elements’ Connections on Dowel Plates

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract Improvement of dowel joints in order to increase their load-carrying capacity and reliability at the present time remains actual one. A special place among them is occupied by connections with the use of dowel plates. In order to increase the bearing capacity of metal nailed plates developed in NGASU (Sibstrin) with the use of ...

Inverse effects of soil moisture and litter quality on litter decomposition along a gradient from hyper‐arid to temperate climate

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
We hypothesized that litter decomposition (H1) and litter quality (H2) increase with increasing soil humidity, therefore litter from the wetter sites to have the highest litter quality and decompose fastest in each site, and fastest on the wet end of the gradient (H3).

Comparison and Investigation of the Behavior of Reinforced Wooden Beams with Notches at the Ends

Drvna Industrija
When manufacturing wooden beams for spanning, notches are often formed at the ends. Under load, stresses develop at these notches, often causing cracks and beam failure.

Reducing bias in shorebird nest survival rates across a large Arctic landscape

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 25-41, January 2026.
Reproductive success is a key demographic parameter that can have profound impacts on a species' population trend. Indeed, poor reproductive success has been suggested as a contributing factor to the declines observed in many species of birds, including Arctic‐breeding shorebirds.

Effect of sub-zero temperature, moisture content and loading rate on the bending strength of beech and birch wooden dowels

Industrial Crops and Products
Wooden dowels are emerging as a promising alternative or complement to adhesives in adhesive-free timber products and pure-wood structural joints. The performance of these connections is critically governed by the mechanical properties of the dowels ...

Testing biodegradable interventions to disrupt plant–animal feedbacks and promote seagrass establishment

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Biogeochemical and physical feedbacks are well known to prevent ecosystem recovery even after initial disturbance factors are mitigated. However, multi‐trophic interactions that may maintain disturbed areas have received less attention, despite their potential importance in mediating restoration success. In this study, we surveyed stingray feeding pits
