Emergence of Goal‐Directed Behaviors via Active Inference With Self‐Prior

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Infants often exhibit goal‐directed behaviors, such as reaching for a sensory stimulus, even when no external reward criterion is provided. These intrinsically motivated behaviors facilitate spontaneous exploration and learning of the body and environment during early developmental stages. Although computational modeling can offer insight into

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

NIRS Coupled With Machine Learning Algorithms for the Authentication and Quality Assessment of Indigenous Cattle and Buffalo Meat

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
Portable NIRS combined with machine learning enabled rapid and accurate authentication of cattle and buffalo meat. Optimized models (XGBoost, CNN) achieved > 98% accuracy, while SHAP revealed key spectral regions. This dual approach offers a field‐ready, reagent‐free tool for fraud prevention and traceability. ABSTRACT Ensuring the authenticity of high‐

Surrogate‐Based Time‐Continuous Seismic Fragility Assessment of Corrosion‐Deteriorated Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Climate Change

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3338-3362, 25 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seismic fragility assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges exposed to corrosive environments must reliably capture time‐dependent deterioration impacts. Climate change compounds this challenge through nonstationary temperature and humidity variations that accelerate bridge corrosion.

Analogies and differences between the logic behind statistical hypothesis testing and proofs by contradiction: What can we learn from them?

Teaching Statistics, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 185-197, Autumn (Fall) 2026.
Abstract Statistical hypothesis testing (SHT) is widely employed across numerous scientific disciplines, and a clear understanding of its underlying logic is essential for the broader scientific community. Here, drawing upon both epistemological and statistical perspectives, we aim to clarify—primarily for educational purposes—the logical relationship ...

Osmomixotrophy in Phytoplankton: Analysis of 46 Strains From Marine and Freshwater Habitats Indicates Prevalent Use of Organic Compounds

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Analysing thousands of data points across 46 marine and freshwater strains, this study underscores that osmomixotrophy is a common, rather than exceptional, metabolic strategy in phytoplankton. These findings challenge the autotrophic paradigm, demonstrating that organic matter acquisition is a default state with significant implications for our ...

Control Systems Design With Enlarged Stability Domains for Nonlinear Constrained Systems via Sum‐of‐Squares Optimization

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 14, Page 6856-6876, 25 September 2026.
ABSTRACT Designing safe control laws for nonlinear systems is challenging, especially when ensuring stability under actuator saturation and state constraints. A key aspect is embedding controllers with a Region of Attraction (ROA), which defines initial conditions guaranteeing convergence to a stable equilibrium point (EP).

Design of a Three‐Phase PWM Rectifier Based on Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm Optimized Fuzzy Control

Advanced Control for Applications, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
Schematic diagram of the whale optimization algorithm (WOA)–optimized fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller. The WOA is employed to dynamically tune the scaling factor expressions and fuzzy control parameters (a(e)a(e), a(ec)a(ec), βpβp, βiβi), as well as the initial PID gains (kp0kp0, ki0ki0), based on the error (ee) and its ...

Make‐Use‐Remake: Toward Indefinite Low‐Temperature Material Loops

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 72, 7 September 2026.
We introduce a regenerable materials platform built from microparticles bound by a temperature‐responsive polymer shell, enabling strong, processable structures from diverse feedstocks. The material is shaped at low temperatures (80°C) using common manufacturing methods and reprocessed repeatedly in the presence of water, demonstrating stable ...
