Joint Situational Assessment‐Hierarchical Decision‐Making Framework for Maneuver Intent Decisions

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a new framework for decision‐making in unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), integrating graph convolutional networks and hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL). The method tackles adopts a curriculum‐based training approach guided by cross‐entropy rewards.

Assessment of the feasible CTA windows for efficient spacing with energy-neutral CDO [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Continuous descent operations (CDO) with con- trolled times of arrival (CTA) at one or several metering fixes could enable environmentally friendly procedures at the same time that terminal airspace capacity is not ...

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

Gecko‐Inspired Adhesive Grasping from Convex to Flat Surfaces with Contact Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A gecko‐inspired adhesive gripper with a pair of soft hierarchical bio‐toes and a bionic rolling module is designed for adaptive grasping from convex to flat surfaces. Integrated adhesive contact sensing enables the smart grabbing of complex items. The gripper exhibits adaptability, load‐bearing capacity, and potential for applications in industries ...

In‐Situ Observation of Post‐CO Intermediates to Decode C–C Coupling Pathways in CO2 Electroreduction

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction reaction (CO2RR) has emerged as a promising strategy for sustainable energy conversion and carbon utilization. Despite intensive research efforts, the understanding of intermediates and pathways from CO2RR to multicarbon (C2+) chemicals remains incomplete.

Associations of Fire Smoke and Other Pollutants With Incident Rheumatoid Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether pollutants such as fire smoke–related particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) are associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and RA‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD). Methods This patient–control study used Veterans Affairs (VA) data from October 1, 2009, to December 31, 2018.
