Discriminating Arid Ecosystems and Tracking Desertification Dynamics: Evidence From Grain‐Size End‐Member in the Manas River Basin, Northern Tianshan Mountains

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecosystem of the Manas River Basin, composed of mountains, oases, and deserts, constitutes an ideal natural laboratory for investigating surface processes and environmental evolution in arid regions. Elucidating the provenance, transport dynamics, and climate response mechanisms of surface sediments in this system is critical for advancing

Missed Nursing Care in Neonatal Intensive Care Units for Infants Experiencing or at Risk of Experiencing Substance Withdrawal

Research in Nursing &Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Caring for infants experiencing or at risk of substance withdrawal often increases nursing workload and may contribute to missed nursing care (MNC). This study examined the relationship between infants' substance withdrawal status and the occurrence of MNC in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). We conducted a secondary analysis of data from

A Review of Mechanical Reinforcement and Piezoresistive Self‐Sensing in Carbon Nanotube Fiber Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
PSPP‐TRL mapping of CNT‐modified CFRP literature, with four recurring confusions resolved and five scale‐up problems quantified. ABSTRACT Carbon nanotube‐modified fiber composites are often presented as a route to stronger, tougher, and self‐sensing structural materials.

Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties

Polymer International, EarlyView.
The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...

High‐Flow Nasal Oxygen in Early Home Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Exertional Hypoxaemia: A Pilot Randomised Feasibility Trial

Respirology, EarlyView.
Summary This pilot randomised feasibility trial evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of early, intensive home‐based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) and high‐flow nasal oxygen (HFO) during exercise in patients with exertional hypoxaemia post‐hospitalisation. Early home‐based PR was feasible and safe.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Search and Passage Are Decoupled for Migrating Trout Kelts at Multi‐Exit Dam

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longitudinal and lateral river connectivity have been drastically reduced over time, with hydropower development as a major driver of fragmentation. While fishways are widely implemented to support upstream migration, downstream passage remains a major challenge.

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Environmental Stressors Influence Spatial Complexity in a Fluvial Macrophyte meadow

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This research investigates the nonlinear relationships between environmental stressors and the fine‐scale spatial complexity of a fluvial macrophytes meadow. The use of multivariate spatial analysis allowed us to identify two major environmental gradients (nutrients and light) and two major complexity gradients (related to abundance and fragmentation).
