Incorporating Suitability Evaluation Into an Adaptive Ant Colony Algorithm for Territorial Spatial Optimization

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11171-11185, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Territorial spatial optimization is a key strategy to promote long‐term regional sustainable development. Although ant colony optimization (ACO) is widely used in territorial spatial optimization, it is prone to local optima and offers limited integration of spatial suitability and regional heterogeneity. To address these problems, an adaptive

Smart Routing Framework for Urban Curbside Scanning: A Framework for Time‐Optimized and Spatially Representative Data Collection

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 6, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban curbside monitoring requires routes that balance travel efficiency with representative sensing coverage. This study develops a reproducible GIS‐based routing framework for vehicle‐based residential curbside scanning. The framework integrates local‐residential target link identification, deterministic farthest point sampling, directed ...

Examining the Psychometric Properties of the Ultra‐Short Version of the Oral Health Impact Profile in Australia

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 493-505, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is the most widely used instrument to measure the subjective impact of oral conditions. This study reports the shortening and psychometric evaluation of an ultra‐short version (OHIP‐7A) from the OHIP‐14 in a large national Australian population.

Batteries From Reused, Recycled, and Surplus Materials

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
Batteries can become more circular by combining reuse, direct recycling, metallurgical recovery, and material sourcing from industrial surplus streams. This Review highlights how recycled and waste‐derived metals, carbons, polymers, electrolytes, and active materials can be reintegrated into current and emerging batteries, while emphasizing design ...

Comparative Assessment and Benchmarking of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Dynamic Photovoltaic Array Reconfiguration Under Diverse Shading Environments

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 3272-3309, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, which are essential for renewable energy systems, are vulnerable to partial shading, resulting in considerable power losses and operational inefficiencies. The dynamic reconfiguration of PV arrays has become an effective strategy to mitigate these effects by adaptively modifying the array topology to ...
