3D‐Printed Shark‐Inspired Soft–Hard Hybrid Underwater Robot With Buoyancy Control and Onboard Vision

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A fully self‐contained shark‐inspired underwater robot is developed using 3D‐printed soft–hard hybrid structures, servo‐driven propulsion, and pump‐based buoyancy control. The platform achieves three‐dimensional locomotion and onboard vision‐based target tracking, offering a reproducible and accessible framework for biomimetic underwater robot research.

Measuring Child Disadvantage: Comparing Multidimensional and Socioeconomic Approaches for Predicting Developmental Outcomes

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robust measurement of disadvantage is essential to identifying and addressing inequities in children's development. We tested how a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage performed relative to a traditional socioeconomic position (SEP) approach to predict developmental outcomes.

A decade of agile methodologies: Towards explaining agile software development

Journal of Systems and Software, 2012
AbstractEver since the agile manifesto was created in 2001, the research community has devoted a great deal of attention to agile software development. This article examines publications and citations to illustrate how the research on agile has progressed in the 10 years following the articulation of the manifesto.

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.
