Outracing a National Level Model Racing Car Champion: A Hybrid Model‐Based Data‐Driven Approach

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4821-4835, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper discusses lap time optimization, focusing on a single lap without considering opponents in autonomous racing. The paper presents a control and optimization architecture composed of a model‐based low level controller and a higher level iterative learning algorithm with the goal of obtaining the fastest qualifying lap in autonomous ...

A Study Of In-Place Rutting Of Asphalt Pavements [PDF]

The objective of this study was to evaluate in-place pavements experiencing rutting and pavements experiencing no rutting to begin to classify asphalt mixtures that should perform satisfactorily and those that would likely rut under traffic.

"Low-temperature plasma activated chloroprene rubber and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and their compound modified asphalt performance "

Hecheng xiangjiao gongye
"In order to improve the performance of crumb rubber modified asphalt, chloroprene rubber (CR) with a mass ratio of 11/100 to matrix asphalt and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) with a mass ratio of 3/100 were used as modifiers to prepare modified ...

Associations of Outdoor Air Pollution With Incidence of Cancers Other Than Lung Cancer in a Large US Prospective Cohort

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 6, Page 1440-1454, 15 September 2026.
Associations between outdoor air pollution and cancers other than lung cancer remain unclear, particularly in the context of tobacco use. Here, the authors assessed possible links between ambient air pollutant exposure and incidence of 20 non‐lung cancers among adults followed over a 25‐year period in the United States.

Sky‐Directional Radiative Cooling Meta‐Films for Daylighting Windows

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 76, 21 September 2026.
A geometry‐mediated microprism meta‐film enables transparent, sky‐directional radiative cooling for daylighting windows. By decoupling control of visible transmittance from mid‐infrared emissivity, ground‐emitted heat absorption is suppressed while skyward heat dissipation is enhanced.

Synthesis of functionalized polyolefins in a new continuous bench‐scale reactor apparatus

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In‐reactor functionalized polyolefins (FPOs), produced by molecular catalysts, are a new class of polymer materials with applications ranging from high performance adhesives to bitumen compatibilization. In this work, we disclose a procedure for the synthesis of FPOs in a new Continuous Bench‐scale Reactor Apparatus (COBRA).

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

Secondary degradation of bio-oil degraded crumb rubber and preparation of stable degraded crumb rubber modified asphalt

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Using bio-oil to desulfurize and degrade crumb rubber (CR) significantly enhances the compatibility between CR and asphalt, improving the workability of CR-modified asphalt and providing environmental and economic benefits.

Ecological and Management Drivers of Population Fluctuations in the Goitered Gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) Across Iran

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We analysed 16 years of census data from 27 protected areas across Iran to identify factors associated with population growth in the goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa). Population dynamics were associated primarily with protection history and management characteristics and with water availability in surrounding landscapes, while broad‐scale ...
