Passive thigh heating improves peak force production in younger adults and early isokinetic force production in younger and older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.

Effect of foot immersion and neck cooling on renal, intestinal, immune and inflammatory markers in older adults exposed to extreme heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults with reduced thermoregulatory capabilities are increasingly at risk of heat‐related pathophysiological outcomes (e.g., acute kidney injury, heatstroke) due to increasingly frequent, prolonged and intense heatwaves. Foot immersion and neck cooling have been proposed as practical, non‐electrical cooling strategies for protecting ...

Understanding Experiences of Energy Services Access in Rural Northern US Communities: A Comparative Case Study on Recognition Justice

Rural Sociology, Volume 91, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reports on an ongoing study of energy services in rural, northern U.S. communities. Anchored in case studies across three northern states, the research aims to understand how residents experience energy service access. These case studies were selected for their shared histories of resource extraction and inclusion of Tribal Nations ...

Quantifying Perovskite Solar Cell Degradation via Machine Learning From Spatially Resolved Multimodal Luminescence Time Series

Solar RRL, Volume 10, Issue 15, 17 August 2026.
LumPerNet combines automated aging, multimodal luminescence imaging, and leakage‐aware deep learning to predict perovskite solar cell efficiency retention. By combining PLoc, PLsc, EL images, and device‐specific reference states, the framework captures degradation‐relevant optical signatures and shows that global luminescence evolution, complemented by

Multiphase and Heterogeneous O3 Chemistry on Aerosol and Infrastructural Surfaces Drives Cl2 Sources in a Coastal City

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Molecular chlorine (Cl2) is a key source of chlorine atoms (Cl∙) in the atmosphere, which can alter local oxidation chemistry and enhance both ozone (O3) and particulate matter. While Cl2 levels in some coastal cities can be substantial and are enhanced by particulate nitrate, the presence and impact of Cl2 in US cities is poorly understood ...
