Toward a Robotic Future: Generational Shifts in the Acceptance of Social Robots on Brazilian Coffee Farms

open access: yesExpert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The selective migration of young people to urban centres has resulted in an ageing workforce within the Brazilian coffee sector, creating a growing demand for solutions that aid producers in crop management routines. Coffee production, the fourth largest in terms of gross national agricultural revenue, can benefit from technological support ...

Ideal Sorting: An Extension of Preference Sorting

open access: yesJournal of Sensory Studies, Volume 41, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sorting is a rapid descriptive method that does not require trained panels and is suitable for studies involving a large number of samples. Preference Sorting (a variation of Sorting) is a recent and underexplored method that seeks to determine the characteristics that most contribute to a product's acceptance.

Moderate Fire Temperatures Affect the Structure of Clayey Oxisol Aggregates

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 8, Page 3169-3181, 15 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildfires have become increasingly frequent and intense worldwide, raising concerns about their impacts on soil systems. However, the thermal responses of clay‐rich Oxisols, dominated by Fe and Al oxides, remain poorly understood. In this study, samples from the 0 to 5 cm layer of six Oxisols were subjected to controlled heating at ...

A Comprehensive Molecular Modeling Study of Phenyltriazolinone Derivatives as Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase (PPO) Inhibitors

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2026.
An integrated computational strategy (QSAR, docking, molecular dynamics, and PBSA) identified novel phenyltriazolinone‐based PPO inhibitors with enhanced predicted activity. Compound P7 emerged as the most promising candidate, while P4 and P5 also outperformed sulfentrazone.

ZnO‐Functionalized Silicon Carbide Ceramic Membranes for Removing Impurities From Biodiesel

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, May 2026.
Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic membranes functionalized with zinc oxide (ZnO) were assessed for biodiesel purification through crossflow filtration. The ZnO–SiC membranes effectively retained metallic impurities, especially calcium, sodium, and phosphorus, achieving levels that meet biodiesel quality standards.

Integrating image‐based phenotyping and marker‐assisted selection to optimize the selection of potato clones for chipping and resistance to viruses X and Y

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the most important non‐cereal crop for global food security. To meet the demands of the processing, potato clones with good frying quality and industrial yield and resistance to major viral diseases are required. This study aimed to integrate image‐based phenotyping and marker‐assisted selection to optimize the
