Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.To argue the applicability of continuum wall‐climbing robots in the nuclear industry, an electromagnetic adhering and self‐inductive sensing integrated claw is developed. The flexible claw realizes an integrated design of the physical structure and excitation circuit. An automatic contact strategy based on fuzzy controller is established, which enables

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A passive, tunable perching mechanism enables aerial robots to reliably perch onto smooth surfaces. The design integrates a bistable mechanism with a soft suction cup and SMA actuators for active tuning. Experiments demonstrate robust performance by adapting to varying contact speeds and surface orientation misalignments, enabling diverse perching ...

A practical diagram to determine the residual longitudinal strength of grounded ship in Northern Sea Route [PDF]
, 2020 In this study, a useful solution is proposed for assessing the safety of the ship’s hull damaged by grounding in Northern Sea Route (NSR) or Arctic sea. In particular, the residual ultimate longitudinal strength of grounding damaged ship can be predicted

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Sustainability Orientation, Sustainability Implementation, and Brand Image in Service Firms
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper uses legitimacy theory and cognitive dissonance theory to explore the relationship between sustainability orientation, sustainability implementation, and brand image in the service sector. Specifically, we examine the mediating role of implementation—the translation of strategic intent into actionable practices—on customers ...
