ABSTRACT This study presents large deformation computational methods to simulate lateral vehicular impacts on steel piles in granular soil. Soil‐mounted longitudinal barrier systems rely on energy dissipation in both the piles and the surrounding soil to safely redirect errant vehicles, so dynamic pile‐soil interaction is important for design ...

HyLPD Digital Twin Control for UAV Stability in High‐Wind Conditions
This work introduces a novel HyLPD, a hybrid control framework combining Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) for baseline stability and Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) for adaptive compensation, tailored for UAVs under high‐wind conditions.

Humans are thought to have a disproportionately negative impact on wildlife and are viewed by some as the ultimate ‘super predator'. This view implies that wild animals perceive humans primarily as predators. However, a growing body of evidence shows that wildlife can have remarkable tolerance for, or even attraction to, humans.

Distilling food web dynamics: top–down and bottom–up drivers of extinction and trophic cascades
Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional approaches rely on continuous representations of population size, but in many cases, the precise number of individuals is unknowable.

Overexploitation can counteract top‐down control and the paradox of enrichment in simple food chains
Because of its high abundance or its high feeding intensity, a consumer can overexploit its resource by consuming it on a shorter timescale than resource regeneration. While this short‐term overexploitation is widespread in nature, its general implications for biotic control patterns and ecosystem stability are not clear.
