Design Challenges to Expand the Functionality of Drones: Deformable Rotorcraft and Nature‐Inspired Flapping Drones

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review systematically analyzes deformable drones, including extendable, foldable, and tilting configurations, along with nature‐inspired flapping rotorcraft. By classifying deformation principles and structural mechanisms, design trade‐offs, functional capabilities, and future development potential are highlighted.

Localized Teacher Recruitment Through “Grow‐Your‐Own”: Impacts of the High School Teacher Academy of Maryland Program

Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Volume 45, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Recruiting teachers via “grow‐your‐own” (GYO) programs is a popular, yet rarely evaluated, strategy for addressing local workforce shortages and ensuring that incoming teachers resemble, understand, and have strong connections to their communities.

A Modelling Framework to Estimate Vector Dispersal and Disease Spread in an Important Agricultural Pathosystem

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
A model of aphid‐vectored BYDV highlights the importance of the interaction between aphid and viral genetic and species diversity on the risk presented by crop disease. The modelling framework offers a tool to explore vector–virus–host interactions and both conventional and natural controls in a spatial context.
