Risk Times in Mission‐Oriented Systems

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 1380-1398, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This article assesses risk times in mission‐oriented systems with high safety standards. We examine critical times under two safety policies. The first requires that the system's reliability function, known the first failure of the components, must exceed a reliability level throughout the mission.

Dynamic Event‐Triggered Robust Model Predictive Control for Quadrotor Trajectory Tracking

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 3676-3688, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the trajectory tracking problem for a full‐state quadrotor subject to physical model constraints and unknown external disturbances. A robust tube‐based model predictive control (MPC) approach is successfully applied to the system, which is subject to bounded disturbances and hard constraints.

Multi‐Task Learning for Airport Surface Surveillance: A Review

open access: yesExpert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid growth of air transportation has surpassed the capabilities of traditional airport surveillance methods, such as visual observation and auxiliary equipment (e.g., ADS‐B, MLAT, radar), which struggle to provide all‐area, all‐weather situation awareness.

When Numbers Mean Money: Pest Precision Sampling in High‐Density Mango Crops

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 333-339, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of sampling plans is essential for assertive decision‐making in integrated pest management programs. The present study aimed to develop a plan for monitoring major mango pests in high‐density mango crops in Brazil. For this purpose, the influence of the position of the branch to be sampled in the canopy (internal and external ...

Seasonal Occurrence and Behavior of an Endangered Franciscana Dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei pukusi) Population

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The franciscana dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei) is a threatened cetacean whose northernmost population (Franciscana Management Area Ia)—part of the recently described subspecies P. b. pukusi—faces significant anthropogenic pressures, including impacts from a major mining dam collapse.

The Promise of Low‐Cost Metal‐Oxide Semiconductor Gas Sensors for Precision Agriculture

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.
Low‐cost MOS (metal‐oxide semiconductor) gas sensors are redefining smart farming. This review explores their role across soil monitoring, crop health assessment, and post‐harvest management. By addressing challenges of selectivity, signal drift, and data fusion, this work envisions MOS gas sensors as pivotal tools for intelligent, data‐driven, and ...
