Must Longtermists Wish Us All Dead? A Quadrilemma

Journal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 1233-1255, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Longtermists assign great moral importance to making the long‐term future as good as possible, especially by ensuring the survival of humanity. We argue, to the contrary, that on assumptions that are plausible, conservative, or shared by leading longtermists, human extinction will likely augment total utility among human and non‐human animals ...

Regolith Simulant Adhesion to Polycarbonate and PDMS: Deposition Methods, Coverage, and Removal Resistance

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 11, November 2026.
Adhesion of lunar and Martian regolith simulants to polymer surfaces was investigated using air and rolling contact deposition. Polycarbonate showed significantly lower adhesion than PDMS, suggesting that substrate stiffness may play a more significant role than surface energy in controlling regolith adhesion.

Effects of Ambient Moisture and Large‐Strain Dynamic Preloading on the Dynamic Properties of the EAC‐1A Regolith Simulant

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 16, Page 5701-5711, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

Terrain-Dependent Slip Risk Prediction for Planetary Exploration Rovers [PDF]

Wheel slip prediction on rough terrain is crucial for secure, long-term operations of planetary exploration rovers. Although rough, unstructured terrain hampers mobility, prediction by modeling wheel–terrain interactions remains difficult owing to ...

How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 11, Page 3731-3746, November 2026.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

A qualitative evaluation of a community‐based approach to protected area law enforcement

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 11, Page 3902-3914, November 2026.
Abstract People living in and around terrestrial and marine protected areas can contribute to protected area law enforcement in different ways. While the involvement of local residents is considered important for bringing benefits to both conservation and people, evaluations of community‐based approaches to protected area law enforcement are limited ...

Toxoplasma gondii in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Infection Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors in Humans and Animals

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes a systematic review and meta‐analysis of Toxoplasma gondii in Ethiopia (2012–2025). The study estimated pooled prevalence in ruminants (42.0%) and humans (61.0%) using random‐effects models. Female and adult animals, rural residence, and cat ownership were identified as significant risk factors. The findings emphasize

Depositional History of the Otis Peak Formation, Western Fan, Jezero Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission spent ∼250 sols investigating the Otis Peak formation (OPfm), a sequence of rocks containing the youngest recorded interval of sediment deposition via aqueous activity on Jezero crater’s western fan. This study uses orbiter and rover observations to interpret the formation and emplacement history of the
