A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Soil Structural Attributes Across Contrasting Land‐Use Types

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil structure governs ecosystem functioning across scales, but its complexity requires integrative approaches that capture geometric and functional properties. This study proposes a methodological framework that integrates field‐based visual evaluation of soil structure (VESS), X‐ray computed tomography (CT) and soil hydraulic property (SHP ...

A non-gravitational wormhole [PDF]

open access: yesClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2000
Using the effective metric formalism for photons in a nonlinear electromagnetic theory, we show that a certain field configuration in Born-Infeld electromagnetism in flat spacetime can be interpreted as an ultrastatic spherically symmetric wormhole. We also discuss some properties of the effective metric that are valid for any field configuration.

A Novel Hybrid Recruit Simulated Annealing and Rat Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Permutation Flow Shop Scheduling

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Rat swarm position update mechanism in HRSA‐RSO, illustrating the collective exploration behavior around the prey target (A*, B*). ABSTRACT The permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSSP) is a classical NP‐hard problem that aims to determine an optimal job sequence across machines to minimize makespan.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

THE WORMHOLE HAZARD

open access: yesTime and Matter, 2006
To predict the outcome of (almost) any experiment we have to assume that our spacetime is globally hyperbolic. The wormholes, if they exist, cast doubt on the validity of this assumption. At the same time, no evidence has been found so far (either observational, or theoretical) that the possibility of their existence can be safely neglected.

The Dynamics of Reading Genre Fiction: Researching and Teaching Interpretive Practices

open access: yesReading Research Quarterly, Volume 61, Issue 2, April/May/June 2026.
Conceptual model positioning genre fiction as a site for studying how narrative form organizes reader interpretation, identifying four dynamics—iterability, narrative interest, serialization, and spectacle—to guide empirical research on reading processes.

Gravitational Wormholes

open access: yesUniverse
Spacetime wormholes are evidently an essential component of the construction of a time machine. Within the context of general relativity, such objects require, for their formation, exotic matter—matter that violates at least one of the standard energy ...

A New Padé Approach to Modeling Wormholes in Dekel‐Zhao Dark Matter Halos

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 3, March 2026.
A matter‐first Padé strategy is introduced to build traversable wormholes from prescribed dark‐matter halos. Rational Padé fits approximately the Dekel–Zhao density and are analytically integrated to obtain a shape function that exactly reproduces the intended matter content, avoiding spurious poles of geometry‐first schemes.

A Secure Localization Approach against Wormhole Attacks Using Distance Consistency

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2010
Wormhole attacks can negatively affect the localization in wireless sensor networks. A typical wormhole attack can be launched by two colluding attackers, one of which sniffs packets at one point in the network and tunnels them through a wired or ...

Wormhole solutions in deformed space-time

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
We construct and analyse wormhole solutions in quantised space-time. The field equations are constructed from the deformed wormhole metric in the proper reference frame using tetrads.
