Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

AI‐Based Immortality: The Ethical Advantage of the Aretai Approach
AI &Innovation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The convergence of artificial intelligence, digital identity technologies, and biogerontological ambitions has produced a novel set of philosophical problems that have not yet been adequately addressed within mainstream bioethical discourse. Digital life extension—encompassing AI‐generated avatars, neural data preservation, mind uploading, and

Modelling the spatial distribution of DEM Error [PDF]
, 2005 Assessment of a DEM’s quality is usually undertaken by deriving a measure of DEM accuracy – how close the DEM’s elevation values are to the true elevation.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.

The scale free and scale - bound properties of land surfaces: fractal analysis and specific geomorphometry from digital terrain models [PDF]
, 1990 The scale-bound view of landsurfaces, being an assemblage of certain landforms, occurring within limited scale ranges, has been challenged by the scale-free characteristics of fractal geometry.

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As modes of activism rapidly evolve, activists—both seasoned and emerging—must increasingly navigate a hybrid terrain of both digital and non‐digital engagement. This paper draws on the personal narratives of 16 nascent activists based in Australia to explore how they develop competencies related to digital storytelling, which is critical to ...

Review on algorithms of dealing with depressions in grid DEM
Annals of GIS, 2019 Depressions in grid digital elevation models (DEMs) need to be dealt with before the topographic attributes (such as specific catchment area) and terrain features (such as drainage networks) related to flow directions can be derived from DEMs in a ...
