Rocker Geometry in Running Footwear: A Scoping Review of Definitions, Commercial Descriptors and Outcome Measures

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Rockered midsoles are increasingly used in running footwear, yet definitions, terminology and outcome measures vary widely across research and commercial sectors. Aim This scoping review mapped how rockers are defined in academic literature, how major footwear brands describe them and which outcome measures are most frequently ...

Development of a Novel Modular Footwear Setup for Testing the Isolated Biomechanical Effects of Footwear Features

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In footwear science, the effect of specific design features on biomechanical parameters during common motor tasks is often confounded by simultaneous changes in other shoe conditions. This study proposes and assesses the repeatability of a new tool, namely the Modular Footwear Setup (MFS), to assess the effects of midsole ...

Through a Glass Darkly: The Esk Valley Floods

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2026.
Recent decades have seen a refocus from flood mitigation to risk reduction in favour of more proactive approaches to risk reduction and flood risk management. This study draws on the findings from surveys of residents in the Esk catchment of Hawkes Bay who experienced two significant flood events in 2018 and 2023 and residents’ perceptions of flood ...

Surface Morphology and Structural Organization Effects in Cellulose Nanofibril Papers for Triboelectric Nanogenerators

SmartSys, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
Cellulose nanofibril papers are engineered to tune surface smoothness and structural organization for triboelectric nanogenerators. Reduced surface roughness improves effective contact and charge transfer, while structural modulation enhances triboelectric performance.

A Flexible Self‐Powered Wearable Strain Sensor for Real‐Time Gait Recognition and Cooperative Control of Lower‐Limb Exoskeletons

SmartSys, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Real‐time monitoring of subtle muscle deformation remains of considerable importance for cooperative human‐exoskeleton control. Highly integrated flexible triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), owing to their self‐powered operation and high sensing resolution, are well suited for continuous physiological monitoring and human‐robot interaction ...

Exploring sources of uncertainty in the estimate of waterfowl harvest in the United Kingdom

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
There is an urgent need to gather data on harvest rates of waterbirds in Europe to assess the sustainability of hunting. Estimates of total waterbird harvest in the United Kingdom (UK) and the relative harvest of different huntable species come from two separate surveys, the Value of Shooting (PACEC 2014) and National Gamebag Census (NGC), and these ...

Effect of the rail surface topography on wear and fatigue

This study is an investigation of the impact of grinding-generated surface roughness on the wear and fatigue life of rails. The grinding process, essential for rail maintenance, creates a rough surface that significantly influences wheel/rail contact ...

Assessing Crisis Leadership

Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Organisational crises are increasingly frequent, disruptive and difficult for leaders to manage. Although crisis leadership research has grown, existing measures remain limited by narrow crisis contexts, uneven theoretical grounding and restricted validation evidence.
