Enhancing Drone Light Shows Performances: Optimal Allocation and Trajectories for Swarm Drone Formations

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drone light shows (DLShows) represent a rapidly growing application of swarm robotics, creating captivating aerial displays through the synchronized flight of hundreds or thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as environmentally friendly and reusable alternatives to traditional pyrotechnics.

Efficient and Accurate Spatio‐Temporal Population Monitoring of Mobile Animals Using Drones and Computer Vision

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Drones and computer vision offer an efficient way to estimate animal populations over localized areas, but surveys often require stitching many overlapping images together. If animals move during the survey, traditional orthomosaic‐based counting methods become unreliable, with some animals appearing in multiple locations while others appear not at all,

A Bayesian Spatial Disaggregation Approach for Fine‐Scale Mapping of Water Access Disparities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Access to clean water remains a critical challenge for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. While national statistics agencies report water access at coarse municipal scales, this data obscure critical hotspots where vulnerable populations lack essential services.

World Models for Robotic Manipulation: A Survey

SmartBot, EarlyView.
World models enable robots to anticipate how candidate actions may alter object configurations, contact states, and scene geometry before physical execution. This survey examines world models for robotic manipulation as action‐conditioned predictive systems and organizes the literature according to predicted representations, interfaces between ...

Scandium Doping and Coating for Improving O3‐NaNi1/2Mn1/2O2 Electrode in Sodium Battery

Small, EarlyView.
Scandium incorporation into O3‐Na[Ni1/2Mn1/2]O2 enhances cycling stability through distinct bulk and interfacial mechanisms. Bulk Sc3+ doping stabilizes the lattice and suppresses the O′3 phase, while Sc2O3 coating mitigates interfacial degradation. Together, these strategies markedly improve long‐term performance, offering a pathway to design durable ...

Smart molecular design of NIR‐II organic fluorophores through self‐driven iterative evolution, deep learning, and fragment‐based assembly

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
A smart design strategy for NIR‐II organic fluorophores is proposed by combining self‐driven Iterative evolution, deep Learning, and fragment‐based assembly. This work establishes a broadly applicable approach for molecular design, accelerating the discovery of NIR‐II fluorophores and extending to optoelectronic materials and therapeutic compounds ...

Local Eviction Moratoria and the Spread of COVID‐19

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT At different stages during the initial onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic, various US states and local municipalities enacted eviction moratoria. One of the main aims of these moratoria was to slow the spread of COVID‐19 infections. We deploy a semiparametric difference‐in‐differences approach with an event study specification to examine whether ...

Home range and core area characteristics of urban and rural coyotes and red foxes in southern Wisconsin

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Second‐order habitat selection is influenced by a variety of factors, including individual‐ and species‐specific traits and resource requirements, as well as landscape characteristics. By comparing home range characteristics across individuals, species, and landscapes, we can draw conclusions regarding whether and how different factors influence home ...

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Regional Prediction of Soil Nutrient Availability and Management Using Portable X‐Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Portable x‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectroscopy has emerged as a rapid and cost‐effective technique for soil elemental analysis; however, its application for predicting available nutrients and supporting agronomic decision making remains insufficiently evaluated under field conditions.
