Synaptic ribbon. Conveyor belt or safety belt?

Neuron, 2003
The synaptic ribbon in neurons that release transmitter via graded potentials has been considered as a conveyor belt that actively moves vesicles toward their release sites. But evidence has accumulated to the contrary, and it now seems plausible that the ribbon serves instead as a safety belt to tether vesicles stably in mutual contact and thus ...

Assessing the ability of a stretched‐grid deep‐learning weather prediction model to capture physical balances

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Regional deep learning weather prediction (DLWP) models, such as Bris, offer high resolution forecasts comparable with traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. We evaluated Bris against the operational MetCoOp Ensemble Prediction System (MEPS) during extratropical cyclone Poly (July 5, 2023).

Surface fault location of conveyor belt based on saliency and deep convolution neural network

Gong-kuang zidonghua, 2016
A surface fault location of conveyor belt based on saliency and deep convolution neural network was proposed. The method imprints figures on the edge of upper and lower surfaces of conveyor belt, and uses image processing technology to detect the number ...

The Mediterranean Extreme Events Experiment and storm Harry in January 2026

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article introduces the Mediterranean Extreme Events Experiment (M3E) – a new project consisting of partners from Europe and the United States – whose main objective is to improve the weather forecasting of extreme events in the Mediterranean region via the deployment of drifting buoys with barometers (shown).

Design of a Novel Gripping Mechanism and Dual Manipulator Robotic System for Apple Harvesting Using Tractor

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The architecture of apple orchards can be converted to easier operation by implementing the use of a low‐cost, tractor‐mounted, dual manipulator based on a robotic harvesting system with lower degrees of freedom (DoF). To accurately avoid injuries by detecting apples, an efferent, real‐time vision system that includes a new gripping mechanism ...

An Enhanced Soft‐Containing Gripper for Pick‐And‐Place of Oyster Products at Extreme Handling Speed

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soft robotic grippers have been developed for high‐speed handling of soft, fragile foods. For example, our previously designed soft‐containing gripper has been implemented on food production lines. However, existing soft robotic grippers remain inadequate for food pick‐and‐place tasks at extreme handling speeds (e.g., > 70 pcs/min).

Regional Sustainability Assessment Under Risk and Uncertainty: A Water–Energy–Food Based Framework

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional sustainability assessment requires integrated structures that can examine the interactions between Water–Energy–Food (WEF) systems, socio‐economic risk conditions, and performance outcomes under uncertainty. This study proposes a multidimensional framework that combines a suitability index, composite sustainability indicators ...

AI‐Driven Circular Construction Waste Management for Advancing Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) represents up to 40% of global solid waste, posing a significant barrier to achieving circular economy (CE) objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 and SDG 12. However, construction waste management (CWM) systems remain constrained by fragmented data environments ...
