Toward Complex In‐Car Environment Human–Vehicle Interactions Through Smart Glasses and sEMG‐Based Gesture Recognition

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel weighted random forest multimodal fusion method that combines smart glasses and sEMG data for in‐vehicle gesture interaction. It realizes stable performance in dim, occluded, and other constrained scenarios, providing feasible solutions and laying a foundation for universal human–machine interaction.

How does the Kids SIPsmartER program impact the sugar‐sweetened beverage intake of students: An investigation beyond total treatment effect in randomized controlled trial

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study develops and empirically estimates a structural framework to decompose the causal pathways of multilevel behavioral interventions targeting adolescent health behaviors. We apply this framework to the Kids SIPsmartER (KSS) program, a 6‐month, school‐based intervention evaluated through a clustered randomized controlled trial in rural

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.
