Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.This study integrates meso‐void characterization, statistical analysis, and machine learning to predict the sound absorption of porous asphalt concrete. Void‐ratio‐related features dominate prediction, while Extra Trees performs best among five evaluated models, supporting acoustic‐oriented PAC mixture design.

Predicting Pavement Condition Index for Cold‐Region Highways Using an ENET‐XGBoost Coupled Model
Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.An ENET–XGBoost framework combines regularized feature selection and nonlinear residual correction for cold‐region pavement prediction. Traffic loading dominates deterioration; the model achieved R2 = 0.969 in back‐calculation, while Markov and scenario analyses indicate a 25% risk of Fair‐or‐below condition in 2026 and PCI of 74.2–77.5 by 2028 ...

Observational Characteristics and Meteorological Drivers of Inferior Mirages in Kumtag Desert, China
Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.Inferior mirages occur on 98.9% of days each year in the Kumtag Desert, Xinjiang, China. Using real‐time camera monitoring mirage images and local meteorological data, we classified inferior mirages into three intensity grades and analyzed their observational characteristics and meteorological drivers.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Using public fungal occurrence data archived on the Global Biodiversity information facility, and impervious land cover maps from the National Land Cover Database, we were able to demonstrate that impervious cover has a significant influence on the diversity on fungal assemblages. These effects include a reduction in saprotrophic fungal richness, and a

Recent developments in asphalt techniques for hydraulic applications in the Netherlands
, 1965 Since 1945 and particularly after the flood in 1953 new means were developed to accelerate the construction of hydraulic engineering projects in the Netherlands. This development was initially related to paving sand dikes with durable materials.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Understanding how variation in key abiotic and biotic factors interact at ecologically relevant spatial scales is crucial for predicting population dynamics, distributions, and abundances. This is especially true for vectors that transmit human pathogens.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon found in tobacco smoke and grilled foods, induces DNA damage, oxidative stress, liver toxicity, and lipid metabolism disturbances. This study investigated the protective effects of chia seeds (10%, 20%, and 30% in the diet) and vitamin E (250 mg/kg) against BaP‐induced toxicity (20 mg/kg) in male ...
