Exploring Imprecise Probabilities in Quantum Algorithms with Possibility Theory

open access: yesPAMM, Volume 26, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Quantum computing utilizes the underlying principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations with unmatched performance capabilities. Rather than using classical bits, it operates on qubits, which can exist in superposition and entangled states. This enables the solution of problems that are considered intractable for classical computers.

From “Mirror Flower, Water Moon” to Multi‐Task Visual Prospective Representation Learning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Indoor Mapless Navigation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 655-680, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Vision‐based deep learning models have been widely adopted in autonomous agents, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), particularly in reactive control policies that serve as a key component of navigation systems. These policies enable agents to respond instantaneously to dynamic environments without relying on pre‐existing maps.

Not All Stress Is the Same: Variable Associations Between Psychosocial Stressors and Urinary Cortisol Rhythms in a Small‐Scale Subsistence Society

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Dysregulations of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis have been linked to adverse health outcomes such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. While research on the HPA axis is growing, few studies have examined whether different types of stressors affect HPA functioning differently, and none have done so in ...

Effect of the Strut Thickness on the Mechanical Properties, Deformation, and Failure Mechanisms of Vascular Bundle–Inspired Structures

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
The vascular bundle–inspired structure design involved developing a unit cell and rotating it by 45° for 2D/3D assembly. Unit cells varied in strut thickness (t) from 0.2 to 1.15 mm. Finite element model (FEM) analysis under quasi‐static compression yielded stress–strain curves and stress/strain maps.

Assessing the Mixing Quality of Hetero‐Aggregates: Applying Mixing Theory to STEM‐EDX Elemental Maps

open access: yesParticle &Particle Systems Characterization, Volume 43, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study introduces a quantitative method to assess the mixing quality of carbon black‐silica hetero‐aggregates formed in spray flames. Using STEM‐EDX mapping and concepts from mixing theory, the approach characterizes intra‐ and inter‐aggregate homogeneity and particle clustering, enabling precise, composition‐independent evaluation of hetero ...
