Balancing forage and fear: How people, environment and predators shape reindeer grazing in the Fennoscandian tundra

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The long history of reindeer herding in Fennoscandia has shaped the mountain tundra by influencing its productivity, nutrient and carbon cycling and vegetation structure. By partly limiting shrub expansion, extensive reindeer grazing contributes to ecosystem resilience and helps mitigate climate change effects.

T‐800: An 800 Hz Data Glove for Precise Hand Gesture Tracking

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Hand motion capture provides critical insights into human dexterity and facilitates advancements in robotic manipulation, yet existing systems are limited by a trade‐off between temporal resolution and visual occlusion. Here, the authors present T‐800, a high‐bandwidth data glove achieving synchronized full‐hand motion capturing at 800 Hz.

Toward the Application of Multiaxial Failure Criteria: Mean Stress Sensitivity of Carbide‐Rich, High‐Alloy PM‐HIP Tool Steels Under Axial and Torsional Cyclic Loading

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study quantifies axial and torsional long‐life fatigue (LLF) behavior of three carbide‐rich PM‐HIP tool steels, correlating LLF strength with intrinsic defect size and cleanliness, thereby extracting material‐specific mean stress sensitivities and Haigh diagrams.

Effect of Double Annealing on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of a Medium Manganese Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
A double intercritical annealing strategy is proposed to tailor the multiphase microstructure and mechanical response of a medium‐Mn steel. The treatment produces an ultrafine mixture of ferrite, martensite and multiple austenite populations with graded thermal and mechanical stability, formed through austenite reversion and controlled retransformation.

Damage Investigation of the Preform Operations for the Production of Rings for Ring Rolling

steel research international, EarlyView.
Void evolution during the preforming operations of two industrial ring rolling process routes is investigated by combining metallographic characterization with a two‐scale finite element simulation approach. The results reveal that, despite differing initial void conditions, the preforming operations can be designed to effectively influence void ...

Flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular beams with wood chip aggregate

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular (CFST) beams with partial replacement of aggregates by wood chips (0%–25%) through experimental and numerical analysis. This study is novel in that it experimentally and numerically investigates the flexural behavior of CFST beams with partial replacement of ...

Experimental and design‐oriented research on fiber reinforced concrete segmental tunnel linings: A systematic review

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Behavior of manufactured sand and recycled coarse aggregate concrete‐filled steel tubular stub columns with circular section

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Accelerated urbanization has intensified environmental concerns due to excessive natural resource consumption and construction waste generation. Circular concrete‐filled steel tube (CFST) columns incorporating manufactured sand recycled coarse aggregate (MS‐RCA) concrete have emerged as an innovative composite element offering notable ...
