Closing the Loop From Manufacturing Defects to Field Failures: Root Causes, Detection, and Quality Control Strategies for Preventing Thermal Runaway in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Manufacturing defects can initiate internal short circuits and thermal runaway in lithium‐ion batteries. This review links defect detection, field‐failure analysis, and root‐cause identification to propose a closed‐loop quality framework for improving battery safety and preventing failures across the battery lifecycle.

What Is the Return on Investment of Digital Engineering for Complex Systems Development Schedules? Findings From a Mixed‐Methods Case Study on the Post‐Production Design Change Processes of Navy Assets

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complex engineered systems routinely face schedule and cost overruns, along with poor post‐deployment performance. Both INCOSE and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) have championed Digital Engineering (DE) as a potential remedy, yet most of DE's purported benefits remain anecdotal, and its return on investment (ROI) remains poorly ...

Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

Development of an aerial transect survey for non‐breeding waterfowl in bottomland hardwood forest

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Airplane‐based, low‐altitude aerial surveys are the standard monitoring framework for waterfowl populations in North America. Designing representative, precise, and efficient aerial surveys remains a core challenge for the management community, and critical scientific evaluation of such monitoring programs is necessary among growing safety concerns and

Field evaluations of thermal optics and tracking tunnels for small mammal surveys at airports and grass dominated habitats

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Small mammal survey tools are needed at airports to help inform aircraft strike‐risk management. We evaluated thermal optics and tracking tunnels as small mammal survey tools. We conclude that thermal optics would not be a viable survey tool for mouse‐sized mammals (19‐41 g) at airfields and other thick grass habitats unless grass height was maintained

Low observability based on motion planning for aircraft

open access: yes
This thesis investigates how non-stealth aircraft can achieve low observability against modern radar systems through advanced motion planning and safety-critical control, rather than through costly airframe redesigns or coatings. The work treats stealth as a dynamic control objective: by continuously shaping attitude, trajectory, and formation geometry,
