A Mixed Methods Analysis of Factors That Influence the Diet Quality and Decision‐Making of Adolescent Girls in an Urban Informal Settlement in Kenya

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to the nutrition transition, adolescent diets globally appear to be shifting to increased consumption of fast foods and snacks high in sodium, added sugar, and saturated fat. In urban informal settlements in Kenya, limited evidence suggests adolescents consume 1–2 meals per day, have low dietary diversity, and consume foods from roadside ...

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 17, 26 February 2026.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.

Improved Additional Damping Control for Synchronisation Stability Enhancement of Grid‐Following Converters Under Multi‐Loop Couplings Effects

IET Energy Systems Integration, Volume 8, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT In the small‐signal synchronisation stability analysis of grid‐following converters (GFL), the detailed interactions among multi‐loop control mechanisms are often oversimplified or neglected, leading to significant modelling inaccuracies and potential stability assessment failures.
