Aboveground herbivory elevates belowground rhizosphere volatile organic compound concentrations in ambient and polluted air, independent of volatile sampling methodology

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

A Case Study to Monitor Parallel‐Connected Ni–Cd Batteries on EMU Trains Through Compositional Data Control Charts

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electric multiple unit (EMU) trains, widely used in modern railway transportation, use Nickel–Cadmium (Ni–Cd) batteries to power auxiliary systems on board, including lighting, ventilation, control electronics, and emergency systems. These batteries are often connected in parallel to ensure a wider power supply range for electrical loads that ...

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Towards SDG‐Aligned Carbon Neutrality in EU Countries: How Energy Policy, Energy R&D Budget, and Sustainable Growth Shape the Transition?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a comprehensive policy framework for achieving Sustainable Development Goals 7 and 9 and evaluates the EU's carbon neutrality target for 2050. In this context, the effects of renewable energy consumption, energy R&D budget, energy taxes, and economic growth on the carbon footprint are examined for nine selected EU countries

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals Through Social Life Cycle Assessment: A Case Study of Portuguese Forest Wood Supply Chains

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social considerations are often overlooked in efforts to achieve sustainable development, despite being critical for building equitable and resilient global value chains. This study addresses this gap by applying a social life cycle assessment to three key Portuguese forest wood supply chains—uncoated woodfree paper, natural cork stoppers, and
