Quantitative assessment of gait alterations and variability in sulky‐driven Standardbred trotters after a standardised exercise test

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1482-1492, September 2026.
Abstract Background Assessment of equine metabolic and locomotory responses to quantified levels of physical exercise is needed to support the creation of tailored protocols for optimal training adaptation. The locomotory response to exercise in horses is not fully understood.

Talking gender, ethnicity race, and change: How mothers scaffold girls' identity meaning‐making during puberty

Journal of Research on Adolescence, Volume 36, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Early adolescence is marked by intensified identity exploration, yet little research has examined how meanings of gender and ethnic‐racial identity are co‐constructed within family relationships during the pubertal transition. The present qualitative study investigated how mothers and daughters construct and negotiate meanings of gender ...

Validity of a Wearable Digital Insole for Assessing Gait ON and OFF in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 8, Page 1662-1672, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Gait impairment is a distinctive symptom of Parkinson's disease that negatively impact mobility. We assessed the validity of wearable digital insoles against a validated reference gait analysis system for measuring select gait characteristics in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods A comparative analysis between digital insoles

Toward Enhanced Inertial Sensing via Dynamically Soft Topological States in Piezoelectric Microacoustic Metamaterials

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 62, 3 August 2026.
A piezoelectric microacoustic wave device exploiting topologically protected interface states with significantly higher dynamic compliance than Lamb or Rayleigh modes achieves record‐high out‐of‐plane particle velocities exceeding 51 m/s. These findings indicate that leveraging topological interface states can overcome key limitations of piezoelectric ...

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Field‐Programable Dynamics in a Soft Magnetic Actuator Enabling True Random Number Generation and Reservoir Computing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Complex dynamics, often avoided in electromechanical design, can enhance soft robotics. We develop durable magnetic soft actuators operating in tunable dynamic regimes, enabling random number generation, stochastic computing, and time‐series prediction.

Daily‐Life, Sensor‐Derived Tremor Measures Are Sensitive to Progression in Early Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 282-294, August 2026.
Objective Sensitive outcome measures are critical for evaluating the efficacy of novel treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we assess the sensitivity to change of sensor‐derived daily‐life tremor measures over 2 years in unmedicated and medicated persons with early PD.

Aharonov–Bohm Effect for Cooper Pairs in Kerr Spacetime: Gravitomagnetic Phase Shifts From Frame Dragging

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity remains a central problem in fundamental physics. Here, we study the gravitomagnetic Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect for Cooper pairs in Kerr spacetime. Frame‐dragging by a rotating black hole (BH) generates an effective vector potential through the off‐diagonal metric term gtϕ$g_{t\phi }$,
