A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Edge of Chaos Theory Unveils the First and Simplest Ever Reported Hodgkin–Huxley Neuristor

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This manuscript presents the first and simplest ever‐reported electrical cell, which leverages one memristor on Edge of Chaos to reproduce the three‐bifurcation cascade, marking the entire life cycle from birth to extinction via All‐to‐None effect of an electrical spike, also referred to as Action Potential, across axon membranes under monotonic ...

Biogeomorphic recovery of a river reach affected by mining

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 47, Issue 15, Page 3497-3514, December 2022., 2022
The Grogwynion reach of the River Ystwyth,Wales, affected by mining in the 19th and 20th centuries, has shown a progressive reversion to a sinuous single‐channel planform since 2001 from an active braided pattern. A critical factor has been a change in the extent and type of riparian vegetation occurring within the active zone of the river due to the ...

Source areas of the Eastern Ebro Valley loess (NE Iberian Peninsula): Heavy mineral composition as a provenance indicator

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 47, Issue 15, Page 3611-3628, December 2022., 2022
The loess provenance areas of the Ebro and Móra basins are mainly the fluvial terraces of the Middle and Lower Ebro River, respectively, according to the analyses of very heavy minerals and particle size. The wind transport distances are relatively short (<100 km).

Aeolization on the Atlantic coast of Galicia (NW Spain) from the end of the last glacial period to the present day: Chronology, origin and evolution of coastal dunes linked to sea‐level oscillations

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 198-214, January 2023., 2023
The Atlantic coast of NW Spain, where shingle beaches appear today, has suffered an important mobilization of dunes from a sea level about −120 m (bpsl), 20 ky ago. This aeolization caused the collapse of coastal/fluvial ecosystems (as forests) until the Late Holocene.

Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta‐analysis in insects

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 394-411, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Impacts of geopolitics and policy on Latin American biodiversity and water resources

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Latin America is a major agricultural producer with important natural resources. Efforts have been made to protect sensitive areas but are hindered by agricultural trade disruptions outside the control of individual countries due to globally integrated crop markets.

Access to Finance and Innovation in the Canadian Food Processing

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Innovation is a presumed channel through which finance affects productivity, yet there is limited research testing the relationship between finance and innovation in the food manufacturing sector. The purpose of the paper is to explore the determinants (e.g., financing, R&D, firm size, expenditure on innovation) of the adoption of innovation ...

From Simulation to Reality: Transfer Learning for Automating Pseudo‐Labeling of Real and Infrared Imagery

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel method for labeling real‐world color and infrared images using a synthetically trained system. Applied to flight test imagery, the new labels enhance object detection. The method works without expensive truth systems or camera calibration, enabling predictions on past datasets and addressing the need for high‐quality ...
