Vibe Coding for Simulation Development in Engineering Education

Computer Applications in Engineering Education, Volume 34, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Simulation‐based learning is widely adopted in engineering education because it enables learners to explore complex engineering systems through interactive and self‐paced learning. However, developing educational simulations traditionally requires both domain expertise and software development skills.

Effect of Accumulated Dust Conductivity on Leakage Current of Photovoltaic Modules

Energies
Photovoltaic (PV) modules are often situated in hot and windy environments, such as deserts, where dust accumulation poses a significant problem. The build-up of dust can result in an increase in PV module leakage current, making the modules more ...

Integrated Transcriptomic and Physiological Analyses Reveal Disruption of Digestive Homeostasis Induced by Protease Inhibitors in Anticarsia gemmatalis Caterpillars

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 123, Issue 2, October 2026.
The peptides SKTI and GORE‐2 triggered distinct midgut responses in Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). SKTI promoted compensatory digestive and antioxidant responses, whereas GORE‐2 caused broader digestive protease repression, weaker antioxidant activation, and greater epithelial damage.

Two Self‐Stabilizing Algorithms for the Maximal Pentagon Partitioning Problem

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 38, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Given an undirected graph G=(V,E)$$ G=\left(V,E\right) $$, a collection of disjoint subsets of nodes π={V1,…,Vk}(V=V1∪⋯∪Vk)$$ \pi =\left\{{V}_1,\dots, {V}_k\right\}\kern0.3em \left(V={V}_1\cup \cdots \cup {V}_k\right) $$ is called a pentagon partition if each subset Vi(1≤i≤k)$$ {V}_i\kern0.3em \left(1\le i\le k\right) $$ satisfies one of the ...

Degradation of pesticides by the ligninolytic enzyme Laccase [PDF]

, 2013
Pesticides are widely used in many industries but the majority reaches non-target organisms or locations through point or diffuse sources. Understanding conditions for their degradation is therefore important.
