Which Words Are Special? Identification of “Sight” Words in Educational Resources

Reading Research Quarterly, Volume 61, Issue 1, January/February/March 2026.
We examined the overlap in words and properties in the contents of six commonly used word lists designed to support early word reading skills. The resources overlapped very little in their contents, including dramatic variation in terms of the properties of the words included in each.

Graph Neural Network‐Enabled Robust AIS/Radar Data Association for Intelligent Monitoring of Ship Safety

IET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
We propose a graph neural network (GNN)‐enabled robust AIS/radar data association method to address limitations of existing methods, that is, time asynchrony, spatial differences, and environmental noises. Our novel computational method performs well in efficiency and accuracy, and promotes the safety monitoring capabilities of ships in the shipping ...

Quantifying microplastics in environmental waters: Mass concentrations are superior to abundance

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Microplastics are contaminants of global concern that are primarily studied in marine and urban environments. Understanding of microplastics in drained agricultural watersheds is lacking. We aimed to evaluate microplastics in ditch and tile drainage water through periodic sampling. Water samples were filtered to capture particulates that were

Correction Method for Initial Conditions of Underwater Explosion

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In numerical simulations of underwater explosions, inaccuracies in the parameters of the Jones–Wilkins–Lee (JWL) equation of state often result in significant deviations between predicted shock wave pressure peaks or bubble pulsation periods and ...
