Flight investigation of the effect of tail boom strakes on helicopter directional control [PDF]

open access: yes
A joint U.S. Army/NASA flight investigation was conducted utilizing a single-rotor helicopter to determine the effectiveness of horizontally mounted tail boom strakes on directional controllability and tail rotor power during low-speed, crosswind ...

Navigating Environmental and Convenience Functions of Reusable Packaging for Products Sold in Bulk: A Consumer Logistics Perspective

open access: yesJournal of Business Logistics, Volume 47, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Products sold in bulk and the reuse of packaging are attracting growing attention. While consumers perceive reusable packaging as providing an environmental function, it is not always convenient. Reusable packaging, as a reverse logistics model, forces them to consider a new logistical role—namely, packaging that requires balancing potentially

Robustness Assessment of Public Transport Networks in Various Graph Representations: Systematic Review, Decision Support, and Case Study

open access: yesNetworks, Volume 87, Issue 4, Page 343-371, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The analysis of certain properties of the underlying graph of a public transport network generates insights about the network's structure. Hereby, the choice of the graph representation depends on a trade‐off between complexity reduction and information preservation to adequately model a public transport network.

Building a Contextual READINESS Model for AI‐Triggered Crises: Global Lessons From Algorithmic Exploitation in China's Food‐Delivery Platforms

open access: yesJournal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT READINESS represents a proactive mindset reflecting an organization's willingness and capability to prepare for crises and respond ethically. To understand how organizations become “ready” for complex crises, particularly those arising from public moral outrage over publicly exposed AI use, this article proposes the Contextual READINESS Model ...

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 1026-1063, June 2026.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

Can Coastal Rowing Be Made Safer Through Auxetics‐Inspired Personal Protective Equipment?

open access: yesphysica status solidi (b), Volume 263, Issue 5, May 2026.
A survey of beach sprint coastal rowers examined perceived injury risk, attitudes towards personal protective equipment (PPE) and barriers to its use. The findings were used to guide the design of auxetic‐based PPE for this sport that is highly conforming, breathable and visually appealing. We report the results of a survey aimed at assessing how beach

Auxetic Behavior in JUC‐530: The Effect of Interstitial Molecules on Framework Deformation

open access: yesphysica status solidi (b), Volume 263, Issue 5, May 2026.
Auxetic behavior in the JUC‐530 covalent organic framework is predicted by molecular modeling to arise from a cooperative tetrahedral‐flattening mechanism within the framework topology. Guest molecule loading (N2, CH4, benzene) is shown to suppress the negative Poisson's ratio response.
