Application and challenges of telephone‐assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation combined with unmanned aerial vehicle‐mounted automated external defibrillator in out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Background Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Telephone‐assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (TCPR) and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) improve survival, but traditional emergency systems face delays due to traffic and geography.

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Corrosion Detection: Multi‐Sensor Technologies, Challenges, and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Inspection

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 3565-3583, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Corrosion remains a critical threat to the integrity and service life of infrastructure in industries such as oil, gas, construction, renewable energy, and transportation. Traditional inspection methods, being labor‐intensive, hazardous, and often subjective, fall short in addressing modern inspection demands.

Input–Output Finite‐Time Stability and Stabilization of Nonautonomous Nonlinear Quadratic Systems via State and Output Feedback

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 15, Page 7088-7101, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents novel results regarding the input–output finite‐time stability (IO‐FTS) of nonlinear quadratic systems (NLQSs), a class of dynamical models particularly useful for the study of robotic systems, biochemical reaction networks, and other processes of interest to the applied sciences.

Riparian Failure: Damming and Flow Stabilization Exclude Cottonwood Colonization Along a Dryland River

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 1705-1719, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Marias River flows from Glacier National Park through northcentral Montana, and into the Missouri River. Annual flows gradually declined from 1902 to 2024 (~3.2%/decade) and the 1952 Tiber Dam and Lake Elwell reservoir were operated to attenuate peak flows and stabilize downstream flows year‐round.
