Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 3474-3505, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

Assessment of Spacecraft Internal Charging in the Earth's Outer Radiation Belt

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The internal charging effects triggered by energetic (>100 keV) electrons in the Earth's radiation belts can cause anomalies and failures of electronic components aboard spacecraft. Given the critical importance of safeguarding space assets, it is essential to estimate internal charging risks, which depend highly on the distribution of ...

Disproportional ventilatory response to incremental exercise in individuals with cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 1139-1151, August 2026.
Individuals with cerebral palsy demonstrate a disproportionate ventilatory response during incremental exercise. Compared with typically developing peers, respiratory frequency increases earlier and at comparable exercise intensities, contributing to higher perceived exertion and reduced ventilatory efficiency. At task failure, respiratory frequency is

Fast & fuelious: the malate–aspartate shuttle in brown adipocyte lipid metabolism

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 15, Page 4480-4483, August 2026.
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) produces heat in response to cold exposure, for which it relies on the coordination of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. However, how reaction intermediates connect these two essential pathways is unclear. In this issue of The FEBS Journal, Veliova et al., report that the malate–aspartate shuttle (MAS) supports norepinephrine‐

Preventing overfilling of blood bags to reduce clot formation and improve donor safety

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 121, Issue 8, Page 1256-1261, August 2026.
Abstract Background and Objectives Overfilling of blood bags is common in low‐resource settings, causing clot formation, donor and recipient risks and blood wastage. This study assessed overfilling prevalence and evaluated a low‐cost intervention to mitigate it.

Interindividual variability in static apnoea performance is partly explained by genetic factors

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 3718-3730, 1 August 2026.
Abstract A large interindividual variability exists in maximal apnoea duration and the physiological adjustments that occur during apnoea. Although a few genes have been found to be associated with some of the cardiovascular responses during apnoea, the extent to which genetic and environmental factors contribute to individual differences in apnoea ...

Jumping in simulated lunar gravity with blood flow restriction as a potential exercise countermeasure: The acute physiological effects

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 3699-3717, 1 August 2026.
Abstract The present study examined the cardiovascular, metabolic, neuromuscular and perceptual effects of low‐intensity jumping in simulated lunar gravity (∼20% bodyweight) with blood flow restriction (BFR). Fourteen healthy adults (24 ± 4 years; 1.81 ± 0.06 m; 75 ± 12 kg) completed an incremental jumping test in simulated lunar gravity (9.5° head‐up ...

Acute and chronic application of novel incremental breath‐hold technique increases endurance exercise performance in healthy men and male military personnel

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 15, August 2026.
Abstract We evaluated acute (Study A) and chronic (Study B) effects of a novel breath‐hold technique (BHT) protocol on performance in military personnel. In Study A, 11 healthy male participants completed either rest or a 40‐min BHT before 15 min steady‐state (SS) cycling at 80% V̇O2max and a 5‐min time trial (TT). BHT acutely increased V̇O2 (200.3%, p
