A Day at the Beach

open access: yesJACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2014
![Figure][1] Paris in the springtime—can it get any better than this? Well, actually, I realized that it could as I dashed in the rain from my hotel to various venues of the EuroPCR meeting. But, the week was mostly clear, and the conference was a big success as usual.

Learning‐Based Soft Robotic Grasping: Recent Progress and Remaining Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review analyzes learning‐based soft robotic grasping from a pipeline‐oriented perspective, encompassing soft gripper design, multimodal sensing, and learning‐based planning and control. It surveys key neural network architectures and benchmark datasets and identifies critical challenges such as sim‐to‐real transfer, generalization, and continual ...

The Effect of Forced Choice with Constant Choice Experiment Complexity

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2019
In a choice experiment, when respondents are not given the opportunity to choose none of the options offered in a choice set, the choices can be considered forced.

Is faunal diversity on Maltese sandy beaches related to intensity of human use? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Sandy beaches are rare in the Maltese Islands where only some 2.4% of the ca 271km coastline is sedimentary; yet such beaches are much sought after for their amenity value by tourists and locals alike.

Adhesion‐Driven Removal of Microplastics From Aquatic Systems by Using Microgel Glues

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Soft polymeric microgels function as “glues” that aggregate diverse microplastics through multivalent adhesion, promoting their interfacial deposition and co‐precipitation for efficient removal from water. Remarkably, this approach remains effective even for nanoscale plastic particles as small as 50 nm.

Evidence for littoral convergence and sediment delivery to Mattole submarine canyon, Northern California

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
At geologic timescales, a significant proportion of the sediment eroded from continents is transferred from rivers to littoral cells, then through submarine canyons to deep ocean basins.

High Free‐Volume Imidazole‐Based Ionomers for High‐Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
High free‐volume imidazole‐based ionomers (PF4IM‐72) enable enhanced phosphoric acid uptake and efficient proton transport, delivering peak power densities of 0.645 W cm−2 at 160 °C and 0.838 W cm−2 at 200 °C in HT‐PEMFCs. This work highlights a promising platform for next‐generation ionomers with improved high‐temperature performance and stability ...

Longitudinal Single‐Axon‐Resolution Imaging of Peripheral Nerve Injury Response in Mice Using an Optical Window Implant

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive optical window enables stable, long‐term imaging of peripheral nerves in vivo at single‐axon resolution. Dynamic processes of degeneration, regeneration, and cellular remodeling are visualized across multiple time scales within the same nerve region, providing a unique platform to study a variety of anatomical and molecular events ...

« Et le bronzage de tes fesses dessine un coeur » - Réflexions sur les expériences lesbiennes des plages

open access: yesL'Espace Politique, 2016
This paper builds on the literature in social sciences (in particular in geography) regarding the gays' visibility and processes of territorialization in relation to coastal recreative space (beaches), to focus on the experience of those who identify ...
