Bio-Based Renewable Additives for Anti-Icing Applications (Phase II) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The performance and impacts of several agro-based anti-icers along with a traditional chloride-based anti-icer (salt brine) were evaluated. A statistical design of experiments (central composite design) was employed for developing anti-icing liquids ...

Diurnal Air–Surface Temperature Dynamics in Hong Kong: An Analysis Across Land Use and Climate Zones

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 6, May 2026.
Daytime and nighttime air temperature (T a) from automatic weather stations and land surface temperature (T s) derived from ASTER and Landsat 8–9 are used to examine the relationship between T a and T s. The spatial and statistical characteristics of T a − T s dynamics are further analysed across land use (LU) and local climate zones (LCZ).

No aliens allowed: A narrative analysis of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) in the Lagoon of Venice (Northern Adriatic, Italy)

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1117-1127, May 2026.
Abstract This study critically analyses the main narratives surrounding the Atlantic blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) in the Lagoon of Venice. We used a mixed‐method approach, performing a qualitative discourse analysis on a sample of 68 textual sources to identify the narratives across two sectors in the management of the case study: media and politics,

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 2254-2341, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

Radiographic and Ultrasonographic Study of the Etiology of High‐Rise Syndrome in Cats: A Retrospective Analysis

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This retrospective study analysed the etiology and imaging (radiographic/ultrasonographic) findings in 120 cats with high‐rise syndrome. Most affected cats were under 1 year old and fell from the third floor. The survival rate was 92.5%. Pulmonary contusions were the most frequent soft tissue injury, occurring in 45% of cases .
