Assessment of insecticide use practices in licensed pest control operators in North Carolina
A statewide survey of 105 licensed North Carolina pesticide operators found ants, mosquitoes, and aphids as top target pests, pyrethroids as the dominant insecticide class (68%), and limited resistance monitoring, establishing a baseline for future insecticide resistance management and outreach.

Evaluation and assimilation of Arctic Weather Satellite data in the AROME‐Arctic forecast system
The Arctic Weather Satellite (AWS), launched in August 2024, is a prototype for the future EPS–Sterna constellation of small satellites carrying an innovative microwave sounder. We present the first assessment of AWS in the regional AROME‐Arctic numerical weather prediction system, covering post‐launch calibration results and the impact of AWS ...

Formation Control With Obstacle Avoidance of Underwater Swarms Based on Relative Visual Feedback
ABSTRACT Underwater multi‐robot and swarm systems require advanced methodologies for controlling collective behavior. Conventional single‐robot techniques, such as tethering, sonar imaging, and acoustic localization, are not scalable or effective for swarm applications.

BROADCAST TELEVISION: BROADCAST GEOGRAPHY?
Television plays an important role in how the public both understands and takes an interest in geography. As geographers, if we are to maximise the opportunities provided by television to promote geography, we need to understand how it is developing in the 21st century. The first part of this paper examines some of the concepts currently applied to the

UAV‐Based Precision Seed Dropping for Automated Reforestation
ABSTRACT Wildfires and deforestation pose significant threats to forest ecosystems, motivating scalable methods for reforestation beyond labor‐intensive cultivation of native forest seedlings in nurseries. To enable large‐scale direct seeding of native species, this paper presents the design, analysis, and field evaluation of a UAV‐based seed‐dropping ...
