Technology on Snow and Ice: Innovation, Monitoring, and Performance for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Elite performance in Olympic winter sports depends on the interplay among the athlete, equipment, and the snow or ice. This naturally evolves with temperature, humidity, wind, preparation, and contact between the equipment and its surface. Together, these factors continuously rebalance the forces of gravity, aerodynamic drag, and friction ...

TranQuiL: Long Range Detection and Localization of Interference in Radio Quiet Zones

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Radio Quiet Zones (RQZs) have been established to prevent radio sources from causing harmful interference to sensitive radio telescopes, which study extremely faint cosmic radio waves. Even with strict regulations, such interference is growing due to the widespread use of consumer electronics, emitting in many different frequency bands ...

DRL‐Based Joint Clustering and Trajectory Optimization for UAV‐Assisted Emergency Networks

IET Communications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
6G is expected to see unprecedented data traffic surges. UAV‐assisted MEC aids emergency communications but faces challenges from dynamic user mobility and heterogeneous tasks. To address these, the proposed KM‐PPO integrates interference‐aware k‐means clustering (for user aggregation and initial UAV deployment) and PPO (for stable policy updates and ...

Transformer‐Based Fusion for Joint Routing and Resource Allocation in the Internet of Things

IET Communications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
In this work, we investigate decentralized joint routing and resource allocation for high‐quality path establishment at the network layer of the Internet of Things (IoT). We propose a novel optimization framework based on Transformer‐based Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), which enables the fusion of observations and actions along communication paths.

Trade‐off‐aware Optimisation of UAV Base Station Deployment in Smart IoT Environments Using Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm

IET Communications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study presents a Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (SPEA2)‐based multi‐objective framework for optimised deployment of drone base stations (DBSs) in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The model simultaneously enhances user coverage and reduces path loss under realistic urban propagation conditions. Results confirm the framework's ability to
