Wavefront Shaping for Optimal Extinction of Focused Light by Individual Nanoscatterers

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Wavefront shaping enables near‐complete optical extinction by nanoscatterers separated from a planar reflector. Time‐reversed emission profiles provide optimal illumination conditions, yielding 70% extinction from a single plasmonic nanoparticle and up to 90% from sub‐wavelength nanoparticle clusters, offering a promising route to efficient in‐ and out‐

Multi‐Modal Imaging of the Loading Heterogeneity in Blended Films of Amorphous and Semi‐Crystalline Polymers During Stretching

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Correlated and spatially resolved small and wide angle X‐ray scattering and vibrational spectroscopy have been used as contrast to image failure regions in polymer blend films. The correlated imaging approach reveals molecular detail of the mechanism of failure and molecular scale insight into an enhanced performance of polylactic acid films blended ...

Inferring Brown Bear Hair Snare Interactions by Automatically Detecting Bipedalism on Camera Trap Images Using Pose Estimation and a Multilayer Perceptron

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study proposes an automated method to infer brown bear hair snare interactions by detecting bipedal behavior in camera‐trap images using a pose estimation model and a multilayer perceptron (MLP). A YOLO‐based model, fine‐tuned from humans and dogs to a custom dataset, achieved high performance (≈93% keypoint precision and ≈96% classification ...

Climate Crisis, Human Mobility and Security Challenges in the MENA Region: Implications for Sustainable Development and Regional Stability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the interplay between climate change, violent conflict and forced migration in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), focusing on asylum flows to the European Union (EU). By integrating high‐resolution climate, conflict and socioeconomic data spanning 2000 to 2023, we develop a comprehensive empirical framework to ...

How Brazilian Public Universities Are Operationalizing The SDGs: Strategic Plans Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the importance of universities for Sustainable Development, only a handful of studies have evaluated the implementation levels of SDGs in HEIs in Latin America. To fill this void, this study examines the strategic plans of 70 Brazilian public universities, which account for 92.8% of Federal Universities.
