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 ...

Musculoskeletal (Mal)adaptations in Response to a > 30 000‐km Running Challenge

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Ultra‐endurance sports are increasingly popular, yet the long‐term physiological consequences of sustained extreme training loads remain poorly understood. In particular, the effects of prolonged ultra‐endurance exercise on skeletal muscle structure, function and molecular remodelling are largely unknown.

Associations of Outdoor Air Pollution With Incidence of Cancers Other Than Lung Cancer in a Large US Prospective Cohort

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 6, Page 1440-1454, 15 September 2026.
Associations between outdoor air pollution and cancers other than lung cancer remain unclear, particularly in the context of tobacco use. Here, the authors assessed possible links between ambient air pollutant exposure and incidence of 20 non‐lung cancers among adults followed over a 25‐year period in the United States.

Synthesis of functionalized polyolefins in a new continuous bench‐scale reactor apparatus

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In‐reactor functionalized polyolefins (FPOs), produced by molecular catalysts, are a new class of polymer materials with applications ranging from high performance adhesives to bitumen compatibilization. In this work, we disclose a procedure for the synthesis of FPOs in a new Continuous Bench‐scale Reactor Apparatus (COBRA).

Correlation analysis of creep properties at low temperature between BF reinforced BRA modified asphalt and its mixture

Case Studies in Construction Materials
To better understand the low-temperature creep properties of basalt fibre (BF)-reinforced Buton rock asphalt (BRA)-modified asphalt mixture, a rheological test on an asphalt bending beam and a creep test on an asphalt mixture bending beam were performed ...

Life Cycle Analysis as a Sustainable Governance Lever for Environmental Performance: Evidence From French SBF 120 Companies

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 7124-7140, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study draws on neo‐institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and the resource‐based view to examine the relationship between the use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and firms' Environmental Performance (EP). Focusing on French companies listed on the SBF 120 index from 2002 to 2021, it investigates how LCA adoption influences EP across three

Anthropogenic Disturbance Shapes Native–Alien Community Patterns Across Urban–Rural Gradients in a Neglected Invertebrate Model System

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Urbanisation and habitat disturbance are well‐known to promote the spread of opportunistic and alien species, but their effect on alien land snails has seldom been investigated. This research aimed to test whether alien snails presence and abundance can be influenced by proximity to roads, water sources and human structures, as well as the site size ...

Micro-structural properties of porous asphalt mixture

, 2014
In order to fully understand the properties of porous asphalt, investigation should be conducted from different point of views. This is from the fact that, porous asphalt mixture designed with the same aggregate gradation and air void content can give ...
