Smart selective navigator (SSN): enhancing urban winter road maintenance through optimized arc routing with hard turn restrictions

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3580-3597, September 2026.
Abstract This paper introduces a novel heuristic method, the smart selective navigator (SSN), for addressing arc routing problems (ARPs) with a focus on integrating hard turn restrictions in urban winter operations. Addressing a significant gap in existing ARP methodologies, SSN seamlessly incorporates common side constraints, such as vehicle ...

A research on destress mechanism of underlying roadway for gas outburst prevention in deep, low‐permeability coal seam

Energy Science & Engineering
Gas outbursts pose a significant threat in the mining of deep low‐permeability coal seams. As mining depth increases, there is a rise in coal and gas dynamic disasters, rendering the gas outburst prevention technology from shallow mining areas unsuitable

Revisiting a long‐overlooked skull: Implications for the distribution of Dinodontosaurus brevirostris (Kannemeyeriiformes) in the Brazilian Triassic

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1749-1765, July 2026.
Abstract Dicynodonts (Anomodontia: Dicynodontia) were one of the main groups of terrestrial tetrapods in Permian and Triassic faunas. In Brazil, the genus Dinodontosaurus is one of the most common tetrapod taxon in the Triassic Santa Maria Supersequence. This genus has a complex taxonomic history and is represented in the Triassic of both Argentina and

Collaborative control technology and application of support and modification for soft-rock roadway in a kilometer-deep coal mine

Scientific Reports
The soft-rock roadways in kilometer-deep coal mines are often damaged by large deformation and have to be periodically expanded and repaired, which seriously restricts the safe and efficient production of coal mines.

Research on the prevention and manage of rockburst in deep‐seam mining roadways

Energy Science & Engineering
AbstractThis study presents a strategy for preventing and controlling rockbursts in deep and vast seams during the mining operation. We analyzed the main factors influencing rockburst by combining the geological structure of the rock mass with field‐collected microseismic monitoring data.

Pedestrian Crashes in the Northern Territory, Australia: A Detailed Epidemiological Analysis From 2013 to 2023

Health Promotion Journal of Australia, Volume 37, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Pedestrian crashes are a major concern in the Northern Territory (NT), Australia, but the factors associated with these crashes differ from those in other Australian jurisdictions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive investigation of pedestrian crashes in the NT. Methods Using police crash records and hospitalisation data, we

Modeling long‐term population viability to inform recovery of a functionally extinct urban Blanding's turtle population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
We used a population viability analysis to evaluate the influence of headstarting on recovery of the Rouge National Urban Park Blanding's turtle population. Completing the remaining 12 years of the 20‐year headstarting program is projected to approximately double population size relative to no further supplementation.

Futures of Transit Work: Contesting Devaluation and Neoliberal Automation in Bus Transit

Anthropology of Work Review, Volume 47, Issue 1, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Being a bus operator has long meant access to middle class wages, quality benefits, and union membership, forms of security increasingly rare amid growing precarity. But transit is in trouble. In the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic and decades of disinvestment, bus operators face mounting time pressure, frequent violence, and eroding job ...
