All Hazards Great and Small: Applying Disaster Risk Reduction to Environmental Justice Communities in South Carolina

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Community‐managed disaster risk reduction (CMDRR) puts communities at the center of disaster readiness by assessing hazards, vulnerabilities and capacities, conducting risk analyses, and implementing comprehensive disaster risk reduction (DRR) plans.

Haunting Interruptions: Race, Infrastructural Violence, and Spatial Memory in Ferguson, Missouri, United States

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article engages race, infrastructural violence, and spatial memory in Ferguson, Missouri—the St. Louis suburb where police killed 18‐year‐old Michael Brown, Jr. in August 2014. It examines Black communities' use of blockades, space‐based protests, and infrastructural disruption in Ferguson before and after the teenager's execution.

Digital Health and Fiscal Credibility in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Scoping Review of Practice‐Based Evidence

Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, Volume 32, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Digital health is widely promoted in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), yet investment is often constrained by fiscal rules and borrowing limits. Policymakers also struggle to explain how digital health improves fiscal sustainability and, by proxy, fiscal credibility, creating a gap between technical promise and investable ...

Advanced Testing Protocols Simulate Failures and Validate Antioxidant Polyethylene in Ankle Implants

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 44, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Total ankle replacement (TAR) has become an effective treatment for end‐stage ankle osteoarthritis. Multiple factors, including patient characteristics, surgical technique, alignment, and bearing surfaces, influence TAR survivorship. Polyethylene (PE) fatigue is a key consideration in improving outcomes.

Trip Purpose Prediction with Minimal Sequential Context: A Parsimonious Machine Learning Approach

IET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Trips labelled ’Home’ and ’School’ were predicted with the highest accuracy, correctly identifying about 92% of those trips. ’Shopping’ and ’Dining Out’ trips were moderately well classified (∼55% each), whereas ’Leisure’ trips were more often confused with other purposes (∼29% correct), likely because leisure activities are diverse and occur under ...

Fuzzy Logic-Based Models of Transport Aircraft in Avoidance of Runway Excursion [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2016 International Conference on Applied Mathematics, Simulation and Modelling, 2016
* Corresponding author Abstract—The flight dynamic equations in mathematics for aircraft response to the crosswind effects during the landing are highly non-linear partial differential equations. The main objective of this paper is to present fuzzy-logic modeling (FLM) technique to establish flight control models with the function of nonlinear dynamic ...

Sensory processing sensitivity predicts pilot decision time via indecisiveness: evidence from flight simulation and fNIRS

BMC Psychology
Background Timely decision-making in aviation emergencies (e.g., engine failure and runway excursion) is a critical human factor for flight safety. However, pilots vary widely in their ability to make rapid, accurate decisions under stress.

Quantitative Assessments of Runway Excursion Precursors using Mode S data

, 2019
A way to assess rare aircraft incidents (e.g., runway excursion) is to identify contributing factors (e.g., late braking, long landing, inappropriate flare, unstable approach) and to build a dependency tree (e.g., long landing may be the result of an unstable approach not followed by a go around) that describes the causality between these factors ...

THE CONTESTED URBANISM OF ABANDONMENT: The Afterlife of Two Distressed Neighborhoods in Detroit

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 5-23, January 2026.
Abstract In post‐industrial cities in decline, what happens to leftover spaces after abandonment? This question lies at the root of trying to make sense of entrenched distress in neighborhoods in deindustrializing Detroit, a city struggling for more than five decades with disinvestment, job losses, population shrinkage, a collapsed housing market ...
