Transparency and Trust in Simple Algorithmic Hiring Procedures

International Journal of Selection and Assessment, Volume 34, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT It is well established that combining information via a simple algorithm (mechanical combination) results in better hiring decisions than a holistic combination. Nevertheless, mechanical combination is perceived negatively and rarely used in practice. Transparency is an often‐mentioned determinant of algorithmic trust in the AI‐literature, but

Vector‐Based and Machine Learning Approaches for Pore Network Parameters Analysis

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate characterization of pore structures in carbonate rocks is critical for evaluating fluid flow and storage capacity in subsurface reservoirs, a key concern in geophysical exploration and reservoir engineering. This study proposes a hybrid digital rock physics workflow that integrates deep learning–based segmentation, vectorial geometric

Transformer‐Based Automatic Tracking of Structural Crack Propagation

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
As aging infrastructure presents increasing safety and maintenance challenges, effective monitoring of structural defect propagation is vital. While many methods detect cracks, few can track the same crack over time under varying conditions. This study presents a modular, automated framework to track crack propagation by integrating scale‐invariant ...

Machine Vision–Based Defect Detection and Quantitative Assessment for Pavement Maintenance

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
An efficient detection and quantification of pavement defects is a significant challenge for intelligent road maintenance; nevertheless, current methodologies exhibit poor accuracy, inadequate lightweight characteristics, and substantial 2D quantification errors. This paper proposes a collection of efficient and lightweight methods.

A Forward Genetics Strategy for High‐Throughput Gene Identification via Precise Image‐Based Phenotyping of an Indexed EMS Mutant Library

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 47, December 18, 2025.
The GeneHunter‐Gene‐Level Association (GH‐GLA) pipeline enables high‐throughput gene identification in an indexed EMS population of wheat cultivar KN9204. It identifies 5905 trait‐associated wheat genes and validates key regulators of kernel weight and spikelet architecture via gene editing and haplotype analysis.

Image‐Based Estimation of Porosity and Tortuosity in Fibrous Acoustic Absorbers

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.
A rapid, non‐destructive workflow estimates porosity and tortuosity in fibrous acoustic materials from simple micrographs. Using image segmentation and geometric descriptors, the method achieves sub‐0.3% porosity error and consistent tortuosity ranking, enabling fast material screening and inline quality control without laboratory measurements ...

Postbiotic from Lactobacillus acidophilus Inhibits Ferroptosis in Intestinal Stem Cells via Microbiota–AhR Axis to Mitigate Colitis

Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2975-2993, November 2025.
Lacidophilin tablets alleviate colitis by regulating gut microbiota balance and maintaining intestinal barrier integrity. ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, progressive intestinal disorder. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota is strongly implicated in the onset and progression of IBD.
