Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1121-1144, August 2026.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Mind Mapping in Orthodontic Education: A Two‐Cohort Action‐Research Study Exploring the Impact of Feedback on Student Learning and Perception

European Journal of Dental Education, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 1195-1206, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Mind mapping is a visual learning strategy that fosters critical thinking in health professions education, yet it remains underexplored in orthodontic curricula. With varying class sizes, increasing reliance on technology, and fragmented delivery of core orthodontic concepts, there is a need for pedagogical tools that support ...

Predictors of Multiple Sclerosis After Clinically Isolated Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2026.
Most people with multiple sclerosis (MS) present with a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS); however, not all individuals with CIS are subsequently diagnosed with MS. We identified several clinical (younger age and monofocal presentation), imaging (number of T2 lesions, lesion location, gadolinium enhancement), and paraclinical (oligoclonal bands and ...

Lessons Learned on Obtaining Reliable Conductivity Estimates From Molecular Dynamics Simulations

ChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
We present the newly implemented “conduct” module for TRAVIS. It allows the calculation of ionic conductivities from molecular dynamics simulations using the Einstein–Helfand and Green–Kubo approaches. We provide a broad overview of accessible transport properties and compare methods and best practices for obtaining statistically reliable estimates. To

Pharmacology, Medicinal Chemistry, and Therapeutic Potential of Imidazoline Receptor Ligands

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Building on the excellent review article by Dardonville and Rozas (2004), this paper summarizes the most representative ligands of imidazoline receptors (IR; I1, I2, and I3) and updates their pharmacological profiles. Although not exhaustive, it provides a solid starting point for understanding the significance of I2 IRs as promising therapeutic ...

Compact Tubular Dielectric Elastomer Pump for Indoor Plants

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 25, July 5, 2026.
This study develops a mountable rolled dielectric elastomer pump (MRDEP) using silicone films and MWCNT‐based electrodes. The MRDEP is completely soft, silent in operation, and easily mounted on a piping system. We use dry stacking methods, fabricate a multilayer dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA), and a pre‐straining process in one direction before ...
