Attention‐Enhanced SegFormer for Pixel‐Level Concrete Crack Detection Under Complex Crack Conditions

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
AF‐SegFormer integrates a CBAM‐based channel–spatial attention mechanism into the SegFormer decoder for pixel‐level concrete crack detection. The model enhances crack‐related feature fusion and improves the detection of denser crack regions while maintaining relatively low computational cost compared with the CNN‐based comparative models.

Experimental, Numerical, and Analytical Model of the Meso‐Mechanical Behavior of Linear Low‐Density Polyethylene Plastic and Sand Composite

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
High‐volume sand reinforcement (up to 62%) dramatically enhances the compressive stiffness of waste LLDPE composites, increasing elastic modulus from 217 to 1683 MPa. A validated 3D RVE mesoscale model (R2 = 0.99) and modified analytical formulation accurately predict elastic behavior at high filler contents where classical models fail.

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

A Systematic Review of Urban Form: Knowledge and Opportunities

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding global research trajectories in urban form is critical for sustainable urbanization, yet a comprehensive synthesis is lacking. Evaluating 6,147 publications from Web of Science and Scopus (1999–2024) using bibliometric methods, this study maps the evolution, core themes, and geographical distribution of the field.
