Automating the analysis of public saliency and attitudes toward biodiversity from digital media

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Measuring public attitudes toward wildlife provides crucial insights into human relationships with nature and helps monitor progress toward Global Biodiversity Framework targets. Yet, conducting such assessments at a global scale presents challenges.

Models and explanatory variables in modelling failure for drinking water pipes to support asset management: a mixed literature review

Applied Water Science, 2023
There is an increasing demand to enhance infrastructure asset management within the drinking water sector. A key factor for achieving this is improving the accuracy of pipe failure prediction models.

Adaptive Warning Thresholds for Dam Safety: A KDE-Based Approach

Infrastructures
Dams are critical infrastructures that provide essential services such as water supply, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control. As many dams age, the risk of structural failure increases, making safety assurance more urgent than ever ...

Reduced order models for thermally coupled low Mach flows

Advanced Modeling and Simulation in Engineering Sciences, 2018
In this paper we present a collection of techniques used to formulate a projection-based reduced order model (ROM) for zero Mach limit thermally coupled Navier–Stokes equations. The formulation derives from a standard proper orthogonal decomposition (POD)

Machine Learning Model for an App‐Based Tool to Assist With the Diagnosis of Canine Atopic Dermatitis

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 236-246, April 2026.
Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a chronic condition requiring life‐long management. Accurate diagnosis can be challenging, with no reliable diagnostic test. This study aimed to generate a simple diagnostic model for cAD. This model is a relevant prototype for an app‐based tool to support general practitioners in the diagnosis of cAD alongside ...

Use of a Cytobrush for Sampling the Ear Canal of Dogs With Otitis Externa

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 227-235, April 2026.
Cytological examination of the ear canal is essential for evaluating dogs with otitis externa (OE). The conventional sampling method uses a swab. However, the cytobrush (gynaecological cervical brush), already used for cytological collection from other anatomical sites, has not been adequately investigated for this purpose in dogs with OE.

Fear in Public Policy Compliance: Citizens' Response to Crisis‐Induced Policies

European Policy Analysis, Volume 12, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This article brings together social psychology and public policy literature in a mixed‐methods research design to explore how fear influences non‐compliance with challenging policies during crises. Building on Terror Management Theory, we argue that fear affects individual citizens' compliance tendencies.

On the Convergence of Conjugate Gradient and GMRES Algorithms in the Forward Backward Sweep Method for Optimal Control

Optimal Control Applications and Methods, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 498-510, March/April 2026.
Optimal control combines state and adjoint equations, which yield the state (x$$ x $$) and adjoint (lambda) variables as a function of the control variables (u$$ u $$). This structure allows us to design strategies for iteratively updating the control variable, based on conjugate gradient (CG) or GMRES algorithms.

Advancing Water Security in the Tropical and Subtropical Regions: An Integrative Topic Modeling Approach

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Water security in tropical regions faces escalating pressures from climate change, land‐use shifts, and population growth. We conducted a bibliometric review of 1146 peer‐reviewed articles (1964–2023) on tropical water security. Latent Dirichlet Allocation identified 13 thematic topics and their evolution. Publications rose sharply after 2012,
