Friction‐Aware Force‐Realizable Safety Control for Four‐Wheel Independently Steered and Driven Mobile Robots

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Safety‐critical control remains a major challenge for four‐wheel independently steered and driven (4ISD) mobile robots, where high‐accuracy path tracking and obstacle avoidance must be achieved under over‐actuated steering–driving coordination, tire–ground friction limits, and wheel‐torque constraints.

Chronic wasting disease is associated with elevated cortisol concentrations in a white‐tailed deer population

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many clinical signs of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in white‐tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus are consistent with those of chronic stress including hyperexcitability, head tremors, teeth grinding, pacing, excessive salivation, drinking, and urination. Deer with CWD‐positive (CWD+) status are more likely to exhibit poor body condition and to die, and

Restoring, Protecting, and Expanding Abortion Access in the United States: Seeking Consensus Through the Delphi Method

Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization United States (US) Supreme Court decision exacerbated inequitable access to abortion rights in the United States. This study aimed to determine the degree of agreement on which strategies should be prioritized to restore, protect, and expand abortion access. Methodology From July to

Molecular phylogeny, biogeography, and taxonomy of Afro‐alpine Poa species of sub‐Saharan Africa and Madagascar

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract We conducted phylogenetic analyses of Poa focused on Afro‐alpine species from sub‐Saharan Africa and Madagascar. We analyzed three plastid regions (matK, trnC‐rpoB, trnT‐trnL‐trnF) and two nuclear ribosomal (nr) regions (ITS, ETS) for 194 samples and 117 species of Poa. We present new DNA data for 93 samples, including 33 samples of seven Afro‐

Childhood Lead‐Exposure Prevention Through Predictive Mapping of At‐Risk Housing Nationwide: A Free, Public‐Data Screening Map Checked Against Measured Blood Lead in 11 States

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Childhood lead exposure causes irreversible neurodevelopmental harm, and no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Measured childhood blood lead is collected unevenly across the United States, and many areas publish no neighborhood‐level surveillance, so the children at highest risk are often the hardest to find by measurement.

A multicentre evaluation of cardiovascular risk prediction tools in people living with HIV across England (ECARTH study)

HIV Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 10, Page 1629-1641, October 2026.
Abstract Introduction It remains unclear which cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk scores are optimized for people living with treated HIV with high rates of viral suppression. We evaluated the performance of commonly used CVD risk scores in a population of primarily well‐treated HIV patients in England.

Time‐Dependent Settlement Model for Driven Piles Using Hybrid Finite Element‐Artificial Neural Network and Regression Approaches

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study investigates time‐dependent settlement of pile foundations. A hybrid framework combining Artificial Neural Networks and Finite Element Modeling was developed to derive an empirical equation for the pile‐soil system stiffness evolution over time. The model was validated and calibrated using laboratory test data.

Assessment of Spatial Downscaling Used in Global Greenhouse Gas Emission Estimates

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Accurate fossil fuel CO2 (FFCO2) emission estimates are crucial for tracking mitigation and constraining atmospheric‐based emissions estimation. Global gridded emissions often downscale national total emissions using spatial proxies. Here, we examine such downscaling by comparing a recently released global gridded FFCO2 inventory (GRACED) to a

Prioritizing Shark, Ray, and Chimaera Conservation in Rapidly Changing Polar Waters

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Polar sharks, rays, and chimaeras face growing pressures from changing sea‐ice conditions, expanding fisheries, and limited protection. Our assessment highlights where critical habitats occur and how Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) can support more targeted conservation and fisheries management across the Arctic and Antarctic.

Predicting Urban Heat‐Related Illness Across U.S. Climate Regions and Demographics

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We still know relatively little about how climate, demographics, built environment, and behaviors interact to drive hospitalizations during extreme heat events (EHEs). To address this paucity in understanding, we draw on extant literature to develop a transdisciplinary discrete event system dynamics (SD) modeling approach to address two ...
