An Engineering Model for Static Yawed Wind Turbines Based on Actuator Line Simulations and Symbolic Regression

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Yaw engineering models are commonly used as add‐ons to the industrial blade element momentum (BEM) framework to improve load and power predictions by accounting for the skewed wake effect. However, existing yaw engineering models show noticeable limitations in accurately predicting the induced velocity distribution across the blade span.

Past Field Experiments of Solar Radiation Modification: A Review of the Scientific and Technical Aspects for Governance

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract As global warming intensifies, Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) has drawn increasing scientific and policy interest as a potential means to temporarily offset climate impacts. This review examines past SRM (or SRM‐like) field experiments, categorized into three primary techniques: Tropospheric and Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI ...

The Trajectory and Structural Integrity of Aerially Deployed Manufactured Baits for Canid Control

open access: yesEcological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In Australia, poison baits are aerially deployed in remote and inaccessible areas to mitigate invasive animal impacts. Program efficacy and compliance with mandated distance restrictions require accurate bait distribution but deployment accuracy and precision have not been evaluated for Doggone manufactured baits.

Mental Workload Measurement in Helicopter Maintenance: Comparing Virtual Reality Simulation and Real‐World Conditions

open access: yesHuman Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing &Service Industries, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Designing tomorrow's maintenance systems with a human‐centered approach is crucial to ensure optimal safety and performance. A key prerequisite for achieving this goal is to anticipate operators' cognitive behavior early in the design cycle. This study aims to determine whether the combination of mental workload measurement tools, including ...

Ellipsoid‐Based Interval‐Type Uncertainty Model Updating Based on Riemannian Manifold and Gaussian Process Model

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 140-152, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Modern engineering systems require advanced uncertainty‐aware model updating methods that address parameter correlations beyond conventional interval analysis. This paper proposes a novel framework integrating Riemannian manifold theory with Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) for systems governed by Symmetric Positive‐Definite (SPD) matrix ...
