Single human fingertip mechanoreceptive afferents simultaneously encode multidimensional aspects of touch

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mechanoreceptors in the fingertip skin allow us to explore objects and to feel a vast range of textures. We recorded responses from individual low‐threshold mechanoreceptive afferents in humans while dynamic stimuli were swept across their receptive fields, systematically varying force, velocity and spatial period.

Smart selective navigator (SSN): enhancing urban winter road maintenance through optimized arc routing with hard turn restrictions

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3580-3597, September 2026.
Abstract This paper introduces a novel heuristic method, the smart selective navigator (SSN), for addressing arc routing problems (ARPs) with a focus on integrating hard turn restrictions in urban winter operations. Addressing a significant gap in existing ARP methodologies, SSN seamlessly incorporates common side constraints, such as vehicle ...

Global Chassis Control: Integration Synergy of Brake and Suspension Control for Active Safety

, 2004
The paper deals with the investigation of integration synergy of brake and suspension control for reduction of the stopping distance. The basic idea is to take a controllable suspension and to optimize it for decrease of road-tyre force fluctuation.

Mitigating Structural Degradation in Hydrated V2O5 for Proton Batteries through Nanoconfinement with a Holey Graphene Matrix

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
HrGO‐supported and confined water‐assisted synergy for faster proton transport in the V2O5 resulted in ultra‐long life over 10 000 cycles at high current density of 1 A g−1. A reaction kinetics study of the ultra‐long cyclability via first principle DFT calculation is also presented. Proton‐based electrochemistry offers a promising solution to the cost

Synergy of Strength and Plasticity in Extruded VZ91K Magnesium Alloy Achieved by Constructing Bimodal Grain Structure via Suppression of PSN‐DRX

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Bimodal grain structure (BGS) demonstrates significant potential in synergistically optimizing the strength and plasticity of magnesium alloys. Acquiring the desired BGS consequently became a critical challenge. This study took the Mg‐9Gd‐1Zn‐0.5Zr (wt%, VZ91K) alloy as its subject. From the perspective of BGS formation mechanisms, it suggests

Ethnic Diversity in Compulsory Schooling and Occupational Choices: Can Diversity Increase the Supply in Care‐Oriented Occupations

Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, Volume 65, Issue 3, Page 279-311, July 2026.
ABSTRACT We investigate the effect of ethnic diversity on occupational choices, particularly in care‐oriented occupations which are scarce in many high‐income countries. We use administrative data of all students in Switzerland to study two diversity dimensions: ethnic fractionalization and ethnic polarization.

GIMC structure considering communication delay and its application to mechatronic system

This paper deals with a new GIMC structure considering a communication delay by using the Smith Predictor and its application to a mechatronic system. First, we stabilize the unstable mechatronic system by a PD controller and define the stabilized system

Nudging Resilience: Designing Decision Environments for Responding to and Recovering From Operational Disruptions

Journal of Business Logistics, Volume 47, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Supply chains are not only disrupted when structures fail, but also when managers cannot make fast, sound decisions under pressure. Yet, while the structural foundations of supply chain resilience–including redundancy, modularity, and buffer capacity–are well established, the behavioral mechanisms that determine whether managers deploy them ...
