Climate‐Smart Agricultural Assets and Household Coping Strategies in Times of Upheaval
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Transferring agricultural assets can be welfare‐improving for smallholders. Can agricultural assets also improve smallholders' ability to cope with unprecedented exogenous shocks? We investigate this question using the case of subsidized solar‐powered irrigation pumps (SIP) during the time of upheaval (COVID‐19 pandemic) in Nepal.

The impact of public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile delivery
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 3825-3854, November 2026.Abstract The growing concern over emissions from last‐mile logistics is motivating the development of innovative delivery models aimed at reducing environmental impact and traffic congestion. To this end, we propose a last‐mile delivery scheme based on both public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots.

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 39, October 15, 2026.This work explores the use of various fillers, including eggshell powder, feather meal, peanut hulls, and sawdust to reinforce a base binder GFS90 (comprised of 90 wt.% sulfur, 5 wt.% chicken fat, and 5 wt.% sunflower oil). The resulting composites showed impressive compressive strengths ranging from 15.3 to 36.2 MPa, making them a potential ...

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 8, Page 2054-2065, 15 October 2026.Although chronic air pollution exposure is linked to lung cancer mortality, the short‐term effects of fluctuating air quality on overall cancer mortality remain uncertain. Here, the authors applied geomatics and machine‐learning models to retrospectively examine possible associations between 31‐day pollution exposure and mortality in a French cancer ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 10, Page 5397-5408, October 2026.Left: Desulphurization method application. Right: Novel desulphurization method. Abstract The presence of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in biogas poses significant environmental and operational challenges due to its corrosive and toxic properties. Thus, this study aimed to develop a dual‐function desulphurization system using a cation exchange resin (CIER ...

Do Voluntary and Mandatory Clean Truck Programs Improve Air Quality Around Ports?
Journal of Business Logistics, Volume 47, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT States and port authorities have implemented “Clean Truck” programs (CTPs) to encourage trucking companies to transition to newer, cleaner trucks to reduce the emissions around ports. We examine the comparative effectiveness of mandatory and voluntary CTPs implemented across major United States ports.

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 36, 1 September 2026.Using a ketal‐protected glycerol derivative (solketal) as the oxidation substrate enables site‐selective electrooxidation that suppresses C–C cleavage on non‐noble catalysts. Highly alkaline conditions promote reactive solketal alkoxide formation, weaken the Cα─H bond to facilitate dehydrogenation, and buffer local acidification, enabling a record‐high

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 18, 30 September 2026.ABSTRACT Rationale Vehicular traffic is a major source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases in megacities; however, real‐world constraints on vehicle‐derived N2O emissions and their isotopic characteristics remain limited. Methods Air samples were collected from three tunnels and urban background sites (a university campus and mountain) in Seoul, South ...

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 820-833, September 2026.ABSTRACT Amid rising food and fertilizer prices, understanding farmers' policy preferences is critical for effective crisis response. We use best‐worst scaling experiment to assess Kenyan mobile‐owning crop farmers' preferences for government support under high and normal price scenarios.
