The Stability‐Instability Paradox and the Evolving Balance of Terror in the Middle East

Middle East Policy, Volume 33, Issue 4, Winter 2026.
Abstract In launching its war on Iran, Washington has committed a grave mistake by allowing a weakened Islamic Republic to reconstitute a regional balance of terror. This article shows how the Cold War‐era stability‐instability paradox has been restored in a new form, creating an equilibrium that discourages open warfare while reducing the advantages ...

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.

Experimental Study on Mechanical Behavior and Crack Evolution of Borehole Coal Samples Before and After Grouting Under Brazilian Splitting Conditions

Applied Sciences
Grouting and sealing in gas drainage boreholes are two of the critical measures to ensure efficient coal seam gas extraction. However, traditional cement grouting often leads to debonding and cracking of the slurry–coal cemented body under external load,

Assessing Deep Learning Segmentation Models for Mapping Landslides From LiDAR‐Based Elevation Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Robust landslide inventories are critical for characterizing landslide hazard and helping reduce societal vulnerability. For this study, LiDAR‐derived digital elevation models (DEMs), their derivatives, and a landslide inventory were used to train different deep learning segmentation models to assess the functionality of automatic segmentation

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches
