Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.

Gamma Irradiation of Poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) Scaffolds Reduces the Mechanical Stability and Function of Islet Grafts in Diabetic Nonhuman Primates

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 3, Page 742-751, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinical islet transplantation has long been investigated as a potential cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D), yet standard intrahepatic delivery leaves islets prone to an instant blood‐mediated inflammatory response. Herein, we investigated the design of microporous poly(D,l‐lactide‐co‐glycolide) (PLG) scaffolds for extrahepatic islet ...

The Use and Outcomes of Compassion‐Focused Group Interventions With Children and Adolescent Clinical Populations: A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis

open access: yesClinical Psychology &Psychotherapy, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Research has investigated the outcomes of compassion‐focused therapy for adult populations, with systematic reviews and meta‐analyses supporting its effectiveness. Comparatively, the literature investigating compassion‐focused interventions for child and adolescent populations is less developed, with fewer empirical studies to date.

Unveiling Protist Composition and Diversity Patterns With eDNA Metabarcoding: Comparing Short‐ and Long‐Read Approaches

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is widely used for biodiversity monitoring, but short‐read sequencing limits detailed taxonomic identification, especially for protists. In a comparison of short‐ and long‐read approaches in the Belgian North Sea, long‐read metabarcoding provided deeper taxonomic assignment under the applied workflows and improved

Floristic Diversity and Indicator Species Analysis Along Altitudinal Gradients of the Upper Indus Basin, Northern Pakistan

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Altitudinal gradients substantially influence floristic diversity and indicator species. Three vegetation communities were identified, each shaped by specific environmental variables. Mantel test shows that altitude, Ca, K, Na are key drivers of species diversity and association.

Contaminant‐Driven Modulation of Environmental DNA and RNA in Aquatic Systems

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
This study investigates how lead (Pb) and polyethylene (PE) microbreads influence eDNA and eRNA signals in salmon and eels. While Pb exposure does not interfere with eNA signals, PE microbeads increase eRNA production and slow molecular degradation, prolonging the detection window of eNA in aquatic ecosystems.

Effects of Tetrodotoxin on Safety, and Sensory and Respiratory Systems: A Dose‐Escalating Study in Healthy Volunteers

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pain, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic pain affects approximately 1.5 billion individuals worldwide, and currently available treatments often fail to provide adequate analgesia. Consequently, there is a need to explore novel analgesic compounds, including tetrodotoxin.

Existence, Stability, and Data‐Driven Analysis of a Fractional‐Order Avian Influenza Model in Poultry Farms

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
We develop and analyze a fractional‐order avian influenza chicken model for chicken farms, providing existence, uniqueness, and stability results. With real Bangladesh farm data and 80% vaccine efficacy, numerical results show that combining vaccination and treatment can control disease spread by reducing the basic reproduction number below one ...

Vortex: Extending the RISC-V ISA for GPGPU and 3D-Graphics

Micro, 2021
The importance of open-source hardware and software has been increasing. However, despite GPUs being one of the more popular accelerators across various applications, there is very little open-source GPU infrastructure in the public domain. We argue that

Groundwater level simulation and forecasting using interior search algorithm-least square support vector regression (ISA-LSSVR)

, 2020
Least square support vector regression (LSSVR) is a powerful data-driven method for simulation and forecasting, with two parameters to tune. In this study, these parameters were automatically tuned using the interior search algorithm (ISA) and genetic ...
