Spatial Distribution and AirQ + -Based Health Risk Analysis of Particulate Matter in Bangladesh’s Industrial Hubs - Md.

Assraf Seddiky; Sazal Kumar; Mohd. Maniruzzaman; et al. (Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 2026)
Rapid urbanisation and population growth in Bangladesh have intensified ambient particulate matter (PM 2.5 and PM 10 ) pollution, posing critical threats to public health. This study assessed PM concentration in three major industrial cities, Dhaka, Narayanganj, and Gazipur. PM concentrations were measured using an Air Particle Counter and an optimised air-quality sensor. PM measurements were conducted at 138 sampling points across Dhaka, Narayanganj, and Gazipur in October 2023, a climatologically stable late-autumn period, providing a reliable baseline for assessing ambient PM levels. Long-term chronic and acute diseases were quantified using the WHO AirQ + tool, including acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) in children, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, and lung cancer (LC) in adults. The study revealed that the average PM 2.5 concentrations of 74.04, 56.70, and 63.99 µg/m 3 exceeded WHO standards in three cities and exceeded BD standards only in Dhaka, while PM 10 levels exceeded only WHO standards. A strong correlation was observed between PM 2.5 and PM 10 . Meteorological analysis indicated that wind speed and direction were key dispersion drivers, whereas temperature and humidity showed weak inverse exponential relationships with PM levels. Hazard Quotient (HQ) derivation revealed significant non-cancer health risks, with values exceeding unity. In contrast, PM 2.5 significantly affected ALRI mortality among children, with rates of 0.52, 0.44, and 0.49 per 100,000 in Dhaka, Narayanganj, and Gazipur, respectively. In adults, stroke was the leading PM 2.5 -related cause of death, with rates of 9.87, 9.13, and 9.63 per 100,000 in these cities. IHD deaths were also high, while LC and COPD mortality ranged from low to moderate. The study underscores the substantial public health implications of persistent PM pollution across Bangladesh’s industrial cities and reinforces the urgency of implementing coherent regulatory interventions. To strengthen the precision of exposure assessments and support more robust evidence-based policymaking, future investigations should incorporate multi-seasonal sampling, extended temporal monitoring, and broader spatial representation across diverse industrial zones.

Sewage Sludge-Mediated Microplastic Transfer to Agroecosystem: A Comprehensive Review on Detection, Fate and Ecological Impacts - Muhammad Tariq Khan; Masroor Waliullah; Zohaib Abbas; Saba Hafeez; Mohammad Bhuyan; Nasrin Akhter; Iqbal Ahmad; Asim Nawab; Mushtaq Ahmad; Yanbo Zhou; Md Faysal Hossain (Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 2026)
Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a significant environmental concern due to its persistent nature and toxic environmental effects. MPs pose threats to the aquatic and terrestrial environment by impacting plant habitats and altering soil properties. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the most prominent channels for MP pollution in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. MP particles separated during various treatment processes are trapped in the sludge and subsequently enter the terrestrial agroecosystem when sludge is used as fertilizer. In addition, sludge incineration releases tiny MP particles into the atmosphere. Although MPs have been extensively studied in aquatic environments, limited studies are available regarding their transport to agricultural ecosystems and the pathways through which they pose risk to food security and soil fertility. This review aims to evaluate the prevalence of MPs within sewage sludge and their subsequent translocation into terrestrial agroecosystems. A critical investigation has been carried out to address the challenges in detecting MPs in complex sludge samples to provide guidance for developing standardized and widely accepted methodologies. Furthermore, the impacts of MPs on soil fertility and biota were assessed and investigated from the perspective of agricultural production. This review aims to compile evidence of the presence and transport of MPs through sewage sludge applied to agricultural lands and help policymakers and environmentalists in developing viable strategies to protect agricultural land from MP pollution.

Sequential hybridization enhances the reliability of a statistical crop yield model – exemplified by wheat and sugar beet yields in the provinces of Poland - Mohammad Reza Eini; Tobias Conradt; Mikołaj Piniewski (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2026)
This study uses a data-driven modelling approach to integrate drought indicators and weather data to enhance crop yield simulations. By employing a sequential hybridization method, the research combines drought indices such as SPI, SPEI, or SMI with weather data to refine wheat and sugar beet yield predictions by the statistical model ABSOLUT at the voivodship level in Poland. The modelling approach systematically evaluates possible combinations of 15 input features to identify the most effective configurations for multiple linear regressions. The findings reveal that regression models incorporating both weather data and drought indicators (particularly SPEI and SMI) deliver superior performance compared to those relying solely on weather variables. This improvement is especially pronounced under conditions of variable moisture availability. For example, a model that includes SPEI and weather data more precisely estimates wheat yield, especially during extreme events like the 2018 drought. Additionally, using SMI as the only feature demonstrated that ABSOLUT performed better than when combined with weather data in the case of sugar beet. These results underscore the critical role of incorporating drought indicators to bolster the reliability of crop yield predictions, offering significant insights for agricultural planning in regions susceptible to climatic variability. The research also highlights the potential of hybrid modelling approaches, which combine the strengths of process-based and data-driven models to enhance predictive accuracy. Moreover, the study suggests that these models could be further refined by incorporating additional environmental factors for more robust agro-hydrological simulations.

Fracture Development and Characterization from Field Data in a Dolomite-Limestone Sequence - Ghasem Aghli; Hem Bahadur Motra; Mohammad Reza Saberi; Mohammad Nikbin; Mehdi Ostadhassan (Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2026)
Open fractures are an important contributor to reservoir quality in carbonate formations. Herein, their development and relevant parameters are controlled by various factors, among which lithology is considered the most critical. With this in mind, we investigated differences in open-fracture parameters between dolomite and calcite intervals to understand how lithology influences fracturing. To this end, several wells within a sequence of dolomitic and calcitic intervals from the major oil producing Asmari Formation (southwest Iran) which is a major fractured reservoir were chosen. Detailed petrographic and petrophysical analyses were carried out to characterize the fracture intervals in this reservoir. Then, fracture parameters such as density, aperture, porosity, and dip as well as reservoir heterogeneity were quantified using high-quality electrical image logs and core data. Finally, fracture parameters were compared between the two lithologies to delineate their variations. Furthermore, sonic waveforms and well-test data from the selected wells confirmed the presence of fractures and their estimated parameters. Our results indicate that all dolomites in this reservoir are diagenetic and range from fine- to coarse-crystalline. Image logs confirmed that all detected fractures are structural (due to folding and faulting) and show larger apertures and better connectivity in the dolomite intervals, particularly in the coarser sections, than in calcites. Moreover, open fractures with large apertures appear to be the main source of heterogeneity within the dolomite intervals. Therefore, crystal size and structural features were identified as two additional governing factors in fracture development. This enhanced fracture network was distinguished by fluctuations in sonic waveforms within the coarser dolomite intervals (due to a better fracture network). Finally, the role of effective fracture parameters on reservoir heterogeneity is discussed. These findings provide valuable insights into fracture characterization in heterogeneous carbonate systems and can support more accurate reservoir modeling and improved development strategies in similar fractured reservoirs worldwide.

Detection of Potato Tuber Diseases in Türkiye Using a Deep Learning Methodology - Zeynep Ünal; Nida Uysal; Mohammad Ehsan Alokozay; Keziban Sinem Tulukoğlu Kunt; Çiğdem Ulubaş Serçe (Potato Research, 2026)
Visual inspection performed by experts to diagnose plant disease is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and subject to human error. This study presents a deep learning-based approach for detecting common scab in potato tubers ( Solanum tuberosum ), a disease caused by a group of bacteria known as Streptomyces spp., using four different potato varieties: Provento , Othello , Madaline , Bettina. A total of 800 healthy and diseased tubers were collected with detailed records of variety and field of cultivation for each tuber variety. The presence of disease was confirmed through laboratory analysis. RGB and near-infrared (NIR) images were captured in a controlled environment designed to simulate a commercial sorting machine. By applying this approach a cleaned dataset of 1374 images was produced. The data were split into training (70%), validation (15%), and testing (15%) sets, and four datasets (RGB images separated by variety, NIR images separated by variety, RGB images merged across varieties, NIR images merged across varieties) were analyzed. MobileNetV3 achieved the highest test accuracy (90.5%) on the NIR dataset with a loss of 0.415 and training time of 24 min. In comparison, VGG19 reached 95.7% accuracy on RGB images. Analysis of the merged RGB dataset showed a maximum accuracy of 99% for both InceptionV3 and VGG19, while ResNet101 achieved 99.5%. Thus, ResNet101 provides the maximum classification certainty (99.5%) among all tested CNN architectures. Across all datasets tested, MobileNetV3 demonstrated the ideal combination of maximum accuracy (> 99%), optimal low loss (< 0.41), and efficient average training time (24 min). Thus, it is suggested as an optimal candidate for real-time, automated potato disease detection in precision agriculture systems.

Automated traffic signs condition monitoring using machine vision - Mohammad Dwairi; Dmitry Manasreh; Mohamad Melhem; Munir D. Nazzal (Innovative Infrastructure Solutions, 2026)
This study presents a unified multi-sensor framework for automated traffic sign condition monitoring, with a specific focus on tilt and occlusion detection under real-world roadway conditions. The proposed method integrates state-of-the-art image segmentation and object tracking to persistently identify signs across video frames, followed by two dedicated condition-assessment modules. The first module introduces an oriented bounding box (OBB)-based image-plane tilt estimation approach, which is physically validated using co-registered mobile LiDAR measurements to establish geometric consistency. The second module quantifies occlusion through mask coverage analysis to detect partial sign obstruction. Comprehensive field evaluation across diverse roadway environments demonstrates strong performance, achieving 92% accuracy in detecting tilted signs and 85% accuracy in classifying misaligned and occluded signs while maintaining real-time processing capability. The LiDAR-validated OBB-based tilt estimation and multi-sensor verification framework strengthen the methodological rigor of the approach. The proposed system provides a scalable and operationally deployable solution for continuous traffic sign inventory and condition assessment, supporting data-driven asset management for transportation agencies.

Drinking Water Hardness (as a Proxy for Calcium) Significantly Modifies the Relationship Between Dental Caries Prevalence in 5 Year Old Children and Drinking Water Fluoride and Socio-economic Inequalities in England - Mohammad Mehrabi; Yang Han; Deborah Moore; Matthew J. Ascott; Anne-Marie Glenny; David A. Polya (Exposure and Health, 2026)
Dental caries (DC) is the most prevalent chronic disease. Previous studies have revealed negative associations between DC prevalence and both drinking water fluoride concentration (F) and socioeconomic status but further predictors, notably drinking water calcium, have been little explored, particularly in the UK. Therefore, this study employed multiple linear regression (MLR) to model the dependency of children’s DC on all three of these predictors, namely (i) F, (ii) IMD: index of multiple deprivation, and (iii) WH: water hardness—as a proxy for calcium concentration; in England. The results showed that all three predictors are statistically significantly (p < 0.05) associated with DC, with, separately, increased fluoride, increased water hardness, and decreased deprivation being associated with lower DC. A key novel finding is that the DC ~ F relationship is quantitatively less pronounced (by about 24%) when WH is included as a predictor—thus the oral health and financial benefits of water fluoridation based on models not considering water calcium may overestimate or underestimate those benefits depending upon water calcium (or WH as a proxy). Moreover, segmented analyses showed that, potentially and partially due to WH’s influence, the DC ~ F relationship is dependent upon F concentration, with the dependence much stronger for drinking water F < 0.10 mg/L than for F > 0.37 mg/L, a concentration considerably lower than the widely reported optimal F, i.e., (0.7–1.0) mg/L. Any modelling of expected costs and benefits for fluoridation should explicitly include consideration of water calcium (or WH as proxy) and the non-first-order linear DC ~ F relationship.

Identification of micro RNAs related to drought stress in wild beet (Beta corolliflora) roots - Umut Kibar; Mohammad Hasanzadeh; Ali Ergül (Euphytica, 2026)
Sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) is an economically valuable industrial plant, and drought stress adversely affects sugar quality and yield. Beta corolliflora , a species of the wild beet, shows tolerance to drought stress. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, but the role of microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) in response to drought has not been thoroughly studied in this plant. In this study, the expression profiles of miRNAs in the roots of Beta corolliflora genotype (Drought) and its control (Control) were compared by small RNA sequencing after drought stress treatment. Ultimately, 83 known miRNAs and 148 miRNAs from 70 different miRNA families and their related target genes were identified. Under drought stress, nine miRNAs were upregulated and 10 downregulated in roots. The detected hairpin sequences represented three different small RNA sequences which could be potential miRNA candidates. Gene Ontology analysis (GO) of the target genes indicated that most genes were possibly associated with catalytic activity (molecular function), metabolic processes (biological process), and cellular components. Based on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Enrichment analysis (KEGG), the target genes were highly associated with glycine, serine, threonine, and amino and nucleotide metabolism. In this study, drought stress resulted in limited changes in miRNA expression, indicating restricted regulatory plasticity rather than extensive miRNA reprogramming. These findings provide new information on the molecular mechanisms of drought responses in wild sugar beet, which could be extended to the number of plant drought tolerance genes.

Downscaling state variables of reactive transport flow simulations using recurrent super-resolution networks - Mohammad Sayyafzadeh; Sarah Bouquet; Véronique Gervais (Computational Geosciences, 2026)
Accurately forecasting the fate of fluids (e.g., injected CO $$_2$$ 2 ) in geological formations involves employing time-consuming fine-scale (high fidelity) multi-physics simulations. This induces a very large computation cost to thoroughly propagate input uncertainties, e.g., on petrophysical property distributions, and methods are needed to overcome this limitation. This study introduces a neural network that predicts fine-scale simulation results from coarse-scale (low fidelity) simulated outputs, compensating for deviations due to the information loss resulting from upscaling. The proposed work adapts the concept of super-resolution neural networks, used for image resolution enhancement, and develops a recurrent super-resolution convolutional neural network for downscaling. The network takes as inputs the uncertain model parameters (e.g., porosity and permeability fields) and the state vector at the current timestep on the fine scale, the upsampled state vector at the next timestep resulting from the coarse-scale simulation, and provides the approximated state vector at the next timestep on the fine scale. The inputs and outputs are treated as multichannel images and recurrency is embedded, allowing each timestep of each realisation to be treated as a training sample. The proposed approach was tested on a synthetic two-phase, two-component flow with random log-Gaussian permeability realisations, and on a more complex case representing CO $$_2$$ 2 injection in a carbonate aquifer considering reactive transport and random facies distributions. The results demonstrate the proposed architecture’s promise. 80 realisations only are considered for training, and the mean squared prediction error after mapping by the trained network remains smaller than the coarse scale original results despite error accumulation over timesteps.

Alveolen-on-Chip: Organoide treffen Organ-on-Chip - Jan Schulte; Mohammad Amin Hajari; Thomas Michael Marti; Patrick Dorn; Olivier T. Guenat (BIOspektrum, 2026)
We present a novel Alveoli-on-Chip (AOC) platform that combines patient-derived organoids with organ-on-chip technology. Primary human lung cells isolated from surgical resections are expanded as organoids – creating a renewable, well-characterized cell bank – then seeded onto the AOC for physiologically relevant 3D cyclic stretch. The new alveoli array on chip mimics the gradient of mechanical stress that lung alveolar epithelial cells are exposed to. RNA sequencing revealed that mechanical stretch upregulated differentiation-associated pathways and attenuated inflammatory signaling, underscoring the platform’s potential for personalized lung research.

Critical habitats for sharks and rays in Asia remain largely unprotected - Adriana Gonzalez-Pestana; Peter M. Kyne; Emiliano García-Rodríguez; Ryan Charles; Vanessa Bettcher Brito; Asia O. Armstrong; Amanda Batlle-Morera; Marta D. Palacios; Christoph A. Rohner; Giuseppe Notarbartolo di Sciara; Jo Marie V. Acebes; Serena Adam; et al. (Biodiversity and Conservation, 2026)
The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and conservation relevance. We delineated 122 ISRAs spanning ~ 1 million km 2 (~ 3% of the region) across 12 jurisdictions and international waters, encompassing habitats for 121 species (~ 30% of Asia’s chondrichthyans), 76% of which are threatened. Depleted taxa (e.g., giant guitarfishes, Glaucostegidae) were represented, but charismatic megafauna (e.g., Whale Shark Rhincodon typus ) were overrepresented. In contrast, deepwater and freshwater species were underrepresented. Reproductive Areas were the most common ISRA sub-criterion applied (52% of ISRAs), largely in nearshore zones, while areas for range-restricted species were less frequently (18%) identified. Twelve ISRAs overlapped with biodiversity hotspots, including seven in areas of high overall chondrichthyan species richness and five in areas of high range-restricted species richness. Citizen science was the predominant research method used to delineate ISRAs, while fisheries data were underused despite the region’s major fisheries footprint. Geographic coverage was uneven: Indonesia held the most ISRAs (n = 40; 71.7% of ISRA coverage) while eight jurisdictions (e.g., Viet Nam, China, Republic of Korea) lacked ISRAs due to data gaps. Protection shortfalls are stark: MPAs cover

The identification of a novel cereal-infecting luteovirus, cereal red leaf virus, and clarification of other yellow dwarf viruses present in the Northern grain region of Australia - Kathleen S. Crew; Mohammad Abdullah Ahmed Al-Mashhadani; Mark Schwinghamer; Murray Sharman; John E. Thomas (Australasian Plant Pathology, 2026)
During a survey of oat and barley crops in northern New South Wales (NSW) and southern Queensland (Qld), a novel member of the genus Luteovirus (family Tombusviridae ) causing leaf reddening and yellow dwarf symptoms in oats and barley was found in both States. A near-complete genome of the virus tentatively named cereal red leaf virus (CrRLV; tentative species name Luteovirus foliarubra ) was obtained through high throughput sequencing. The virus was genomically distinct from, but reacted with antibodies to, barley yellow dwarf virus-MAV. CrRLV was transmitted by Rhopalosiphon padi but not by R. maidis . Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV was found in both NSW and Qld on barley and oats. Additionally, barley virus G was found for the first time in Qld and NSW, on barley, barley yellow dwarf virus-PAS for the first time in Qld, on barley, cereal yellow dwarf virus-RPS for the first time in NSW, on oats, and cereal yellow dwarf virus-RPV was found in NSW on oats and barley and for the first time in Qld, on oats.

Regional variability in faecal bile acids and its implications for species identification in archaeology - Basira Mir-Makhamad; Daniel Giddings Vassão; Denya Arbach-Benz; Mohammad Javad Shoaee; Li Tang; Noel Amano; Yoko Nakamura; Christian Paetz; Abdallah Mohamed Nganyalila; Aloyce Mwambwiga; Meshack Kingi; Julio Mercader; et al. (Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2026)
Faecal bile acids (BAs) are increasingly used in archaeological studies to detect domesticated species and reconstruct herding practices. However, it is unclear how environmental factors influence BA profiles and how much these profiles vary across regions. This uncertainty raises questions about their reliability for species-specific identifications across diverse settings. To address this, we analysed faecal BA profiles from free-grazing sheep ( Ovis aries ) across a wide range of climatic and elevational zones in Iceland, Germany, Tanzania, Iran, Mongolia, and Tibet. To test whether closely related species living under similar environmental conditions can be distinguished based on their BA profiles, we also analysed goats ( Capra aegagrus ssp. hircus ) from Tanzania and blue sheep ( Pseudois nayaur ) from Tibet, each compared to their respective co-occurring domestic sheep. We find significant regional differences in sheep primary, secondary, and oxo-BA profiles, with BA abundances influenced by altitude and precipitation. For instance, cholic acid varies with precipitation, while deoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid are significantly influenced by elevation. Oxo-BAs consistently account for 50–80% of total BAs in these animal groups, comparable to cattle (~ 60%) and much higher than in monogastric species (9–25%), suggesting their potential for separating ruminants from non-ruminants. While no individual BA or ratio serves as a universal marker for sheep, intra-regional comparisons suggest that goats and sheep in Tanzania, and blue sheep and domesticated sheep in Tibet, can be distinguished based on their faecal BA profiles. These findings show that caution is needed when applying modern BA reference data across regions. Species identification based on one region’s samples may lead to misinterpretation elsewhere. Because BA composition is shaped by both species and environment, robust interpretation requires a regionally grounded, multi-proxy approach.
