Modular, Textile‐Based Soft Robotic Grippers for Agricultural Produce Handling

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces textile‐based pneumatic grippers that transform simple textiles into robust bending actuators. Detailed experiments uncover how cut geometry and fabric selection shape performance. Successful handling of fragile agricultural items showcases the potential of textile robotics for safe, scalable automation in food processing and ...

Factors Driving Battery and Solar Purchase Decision of Residents: a Behavioural Choice Experiment Using a Hybrid Discrete Choice and Latent Variable Model

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This article explores what drives households to adopt solar PV and battery systems in South East Queensland. Using hybrid discrete choice experiments, it reveals distinct adopter profiles and highlights cost, system size, and energy independence as key motivators.

The Reliability Inference for Multicomponent Stress–Strength Model under the Burr X Distribution

AppliedMath
The reliability of the multicomponent stress–strength system was investigated under the two-parameter Burr X distribution model. Based on the structure of the system, the type II censored sample of strength and random sample of stress were obtained for ...

Initial Distance‐Dependent Mean Force Drives Synaptic Vesicle Motion Toward Fusion Sites in Stimulated Hippocampal Neurons

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Synaptic vesicle (SV) motion and exocytosis dynamics in the presynaptic terminals of live neurons are intimately linked to synaptic transmission during neuronal activity. In this work, it is revealed that, during electrical stimulation, SVs located farther from their fusion sites exhibit greater straightness and experience larger mean forces directed ...

Assessing misspecification of individual homogeneity assumption in multi-state models based on asymptotic theory

Journal of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, 2015
Background & Aim: Multi-state models can help better understand the process of chronic diseases such as cancers.  These models  are influenced  by assumptions  like individual  homogeneity.

Engineered GM1 Intersects Between Mitochondrial and Synaptic Pathways to Ameliorate ALS Pathology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease driven by genetic and molecular disruptions affecting energy balance, protein homeostasis, and stress responses in nerve cells. Studies using human and rodent models identified convergent defects in mitochondria and synaptic function.

A Discrete Cramér–Von Mises Statistic Related to Hahn Polynomials with Application to Goodness-of-Fit Testing for Hypergeometric Distributions

Axioms
We give the Karhunen–Loève expansion of the covariance function of a family of discrete weighted Brownian bridges, appearing as discrete analogues of continuous Gaussian processes related to Cramér –von Mises and Anderson–Darling statistics. This analogy

Asymptotic latent solitons, black strings and black branes in f(R)-gravity

, 2011
We investigate nonlinear f(R) theories in the Kaluza-Klein models with toroidal compactification of extra dimensions. A point-like matter source has the dust-like equation of state in our three dimensions and nonzero equations of state in the extra ...

OPTRACE: Optical Imaging–Guided Transplantation and Tracking of Cells in the Mouse Brain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
OPTRACE establishes an optical, two‐step platform for intracerebral cell therapy. Transparent glass pipettes enable real‐time, image‐guided delivery, while multiplex genetic labeling with two‐photon and bioluminescence readouts supports longitudinal single‐cell tracking and host–graft dynamics.

Asymptotic global robustness in bayesian decision theory

, 2004
In Bayesian decision theory, it is known that robustness with respect to the loss and the prior can be improved by adding new observations. In this article we study the rate of robustness improvement with respect to the number of observations n.
