Dibenzosuberene‐Winged Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 23, 16 June 2026.
The twisted acene 8, which features two dibenzosuberene “wings”, was prepared by the addition of a crowded aryne to a similarly “winged” cyclopentadienone. Compound 8 is chiral, and it has a high barrier to thermal racemization (ΔG‡rac = 36 kcal/mol), but it undergoes fast photochemical racemization even in ambient light.

Nanoengineered Binetworks in Multifunctional Anionic Block Polymer Mesoblends for Improved Mechanical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 51, 25 June 2026.
Mesoblends consist of a nanostructured polymer into which a second polymer is imbibed with a selective solvent. In this work, a solvent‐templatable pentablock terpolymer possessing a sulfonated midblock is modified with a hydrophilic polymer that is photocrosslinked in situ, yielding a hierarchical binetwork.

Illuminating the x-Axis by α-Floodlights.

open access: yes, 2021
Given a set S of regions with piece-wise linear boundary and a positive angle α < 90◦, we consider the problem of computing the locations and orientations of the minimum number of α-floodlights positioned at points in S which suffice to illuminate the entire x-axis.

Shedding light on the dark: Does artificial illumination affect mammal activity at waterholes in sub‐Saharan Africa?

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
We experimentally evaluated the effects of artificial lighting on mammal visitation patterns at waterholes in north‐central Namibia using motion‐activated camera traps across two dry seasons. Lighting had minimal effects on most species, although gemsboks increased use of artificially lit waterholes and lions reduced nocturnal activity at illuminated ...

MLDAS: Machine Learning Dynamic Algorithm Selection for Software‐Defined Networking Security

open access: yesConcurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 38, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Network security is a critical concern in the digital landscape of today, with users demanding secure browsing experiences and protection of their personal data. This study explores the dynamic integration of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms with Software‐Defined Networking (SDN) controllers to enhance network security through adaptive ...

evsBat: An automated toolkit for tracking and quantifying rapid movement of nocturnal animals using event cameras

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 903-913, March 2026.
Abstract Capturing the high‐speed behaviour of nocturnal animals remains technically challenging because conventional video systems require intense illumination that disrupts natural activity. Event‐based vision sensors (EVS) overcome this constraint, yet their ecological uptake has been slow owing to a lack of software capable of analysing the sparse,

Haptic Feedback and the Role of Need for Touch on Augmented Reality Mobile Shopping Apps

open access: yesInternational Journal of Consumer Studies, Volume 50, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT As mobile commerce has become increasingly prevalent, retailers have sought to enhance the mobile shopping experience by incorporating multisensory stimulation (i.e., visual, auditory, and now tactile stimulation). This paper investigates the presence of sensory inputs, specifically haptic feedback, when positioning and manipulating augmented ...

The floodlight problem

open access: yes, 1994
Given three angles summing to 2, given n points in the plane and a tripartition k1 + k2 + k3 = n, we can tripartition the plane into three wedges of the given angles so that the i-th wedge contains ki of the points. This new result on dissecting point sets is used to prove that lights of specied angles not exceeding can be placed at n xed points in the

Elevated temporal tau PET predicts faster cognitive decline in women than men: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Women show higher levels of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology than men, but the implications for cognitive decline remain unclear. Determining the extent to which tau burden differentially accelerates cognitive decline in men and women will provide critical insights into sex‐specific pathways of disease progression.
