Rib‐Reinforced Ultralight and Ultra‐Strong Shell Lattices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study thoroughly reveals the relation between the curvature and stress direction of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) thin shell lattices and proposes a novel rib reinforcement design strategy to incorporate ribs along the line of asymptotes (LOA) and the line of principal curvatures (LOC) to enhance the strength of ultralight TPMS shell ...

Optimal Grazing Exclusion Duration to Enhance Soil Carbon Sequestration in Degraded Grasslands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Across China, grazing exclusion reaches the national mean soil organic carbon recovery benchmark sooner in high‐MAP regions (> 500 mm), but recovery is much slower where MAP < 300 mm. Scaling this strategy to 70% of China's degraded grasslands would sequester about 1.52 Pg of soil carbon over 10 years—roughly 17% of annual global fossil‐fuel emissions.

All‐in‐One Underwater Quality Evaluation Metamaterial With Mechanical Robustness, Sound Attenuation, and Diffuse Reflection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, a bioinspired all‐in‐one underwater quality evaluation metamaterial, combining sound attenuation, diffuse reflection, and mechanical robustness, is proposed based on jumping spider locomotion and human skeletal biomechanics. Meanwhile, a CNN‑driven quality evaluation framework is established for theoretically dimension‐reduced ...

Tri‐Layer Solid‐State Nanopore Arrays with Crosstalk Suppression for High‐Throughput, Femtomolar‐Level Biosensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The critical pore spacing—approximately twenty times the pore radius—required to minimize electric field coupling is determined via finite element analysis. A multi‐layered Al2O3/Au/Si3N4 nanopore structure fabricated by helium ion beam lithography is proposed, enabling quantitative analysis of the target analyte while mitigating inter‐pore crosstalk ...

The Role of Coordination Mechanisms and Transaction Costs Promoting Sustainability Performance in Agri‐Food Supply Chains: Evidence From Ecuador

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social tensions and resource depletion pose significant challenges to the agri‐food sector, highlighting the need for coordinated strategies to ensure sustainability in supply chains. Despite its critical importance, the relationship between coordination mechanisms and sustainability performance remains underexplored.

Consumer Acceptance of New Sustainable Food Technologies: Upcycling Technology, Biostimulants, and Artificial Intelligence

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food systems have a significant impact on environmental sustainability, underscoring the need for innovative technologies to support more sustainable agricultural methods. However, the adoption of these technologies hinges on consumer acceptance, making the analysis of consumer perceptions essential.

Sequential Monte Carlo with likelihood tempering and parallel implementation for uncertainty quantification

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Bayesian estimation enables uncertainty quantification, but analytical implementation is often intractable. As an approximate approach, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is widely used, though it entails a high computational cost due to frequent evaluations of the likelihood function.

Speed Gradient and MaxEnt Principles for Shannon and Tsallis Entropies

Entropy, 2015
In this paper we consider dynamics of non-stationary processes that follow the MaxEnt principle. We derive a set of equations describing dynamics of a system for Shannon and Tsallis entropies. Systems with discrete probability distribution are considered
