Application of Fourier Sensing Strategies for Monitoring Velocity Changes in Coda Waves

e-Journal of Nondestructive Testing
In Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE), Coda Wave Interferometry (CWI) is used to monitor temporal velocity changes in different media, caused by temperature, stress, cracks, or defects.

Establishing Safe and Consistent Moderate Intravenous (IV) Sedation Practices in Dental Education: A Protocol‐Based Approach

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Moderate IV sedation is increasingly essential in contemporary dental practice, yet significant variability exists in how dental institutions teach, supervise, and regulate its use. This perspective outlines a protocol‐based framework designed to improve patient selection, safety, and instructional consistency in an academic setting.

Monitoring shallow geothermal aquifers with active‐source distributed acoustic sensing: A prognostic feasibility study on the University of Leeds Geothermal Campus

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom's shallow aquifers offer significant but underdeveloped geothermal energy resource. Seismic methods can help address this by improving the understanding of aquifer heterogeneity and potentially allowing long‐term monitoring of thermal plumes.

A Case Study to Monitor Parallel‐Connected Ni–Cd Batteries on EMU Trains Through Compositional Data Control Charts

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electric multiple unit (EMU) trains, widely used in modern railway transportation, use Nickel–Cadmium (Ni–Cd) batteries to power auxiliary systems on board, including lighting, ventilation, control electronics, and emergency systems. These batteries are often connected in parallel to ensure a wider power supply range for electrical loads that ...

Learning Wave Scattering Properties From Seismograms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation
Heterogeneities in the Earth's crust scatter seismic waves at many scales, trapping seismic energy and producing coda waves that encode valuable information on geological structures. In regions such as volcanoes and fault systems, analyzing coda waves is

Exploring the spatial variability of airborne bacterial and fungal communities: A comparative study across five central Mediterranean areas

Environmental Advances
In this study the distribution of airborne bacterial and fungal communities was investigated in five different areas of the Central Mediterranean (Salento Peninsula and Lamezia Terme in South Italy, Albania, Malta, and Zakynthos in Greece).

A Novel Three‐Way Decision‐Based Approach for Environmental, Social, and Governance Performance Evaluation of Power Industry Under Pythagorean Fuzzy Multi‐Attribute Decision‐Making Environment

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
A novel method for evaluating the ESG performance level of power companies is proposed. The PFS‐FWZIC method is employed to calculate the indicator weights, avoiding the inconsistency issues associated with traditional methods. An ESG performance evaluation index system tailored for the power industry is constructed.

Identification of invisible damage in prestressed concrete bridges—A demonstrator case using coda wave interferometry

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract During their life cycle, prestressed concrete bridges are prone to wire breaks of their tendons due to fatigue or stress corrosion cracking. However, not all structures show visible cracking on the surface, which would provide timely warning of otherwise invisible damage. Brittle failure may occur.

Animal translations: AI and the intelligibility of non‐human worlds Traduire l'animal : l'IA et l'intelligibilité des mondes non humains

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Amid the general sense of worry that large language models will soon drown out human voices, some researchers are optimistic that machine learning will allow humans to listen to and understand animal voices to an unprecedented extent. As part of a broader project aimed at interspecies communication, a loosely connected set of animal behaviourists, AI ...
