Abstract Understanding large wood (LW) dynamics on floodplains is important for closing wood budgets and predicting hazards associated with LW. We conducted 38 experiments in a fixed‐bed flume to examine how forest stand density (FSD), wood transport regime, and overbank flood magnitude affect floodplain LW retention.

Biohybrid Tendons Enhance the Power‐to‐Weight Ratio and Modularity of Muscle‐Powered Robots
Biohybrid robots powered by skeletal muscle actuators are capable of dynamically adapting to environmental cues. This study takes inspiration from native muscle–tendon architecture by leveraging tough hydrogels as synthetic tendons for muscle actuators to enhance the power‐to‐weight ratio and modularity of biohybrid machines.

Pull-Out Resistance Capacity of a New Perfobond Shear Connector for Steel Pile Cap Strengthening
This study proposes a new type of the perfobond shear connector, which can be used to strengthen the steel pile cap embedded into the structure foundation, and evaluates its pull-out resistance capacity by performing a test on ten specimens.

Abstract The presence of vegetation in aquatic environments alters hydrodynamics and sediment resuspension. A recent paradigm has suggested that turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) serves as a better predictor of sediment transport in aquatic canopies than bed shear stress.

Validity of Design Standards in Shear Strength of CFRP Concrete Member Without Shear Reinforcement
The shear design of concrete members reinforced with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) bars remains a key hurdle for engineers. This study experimentally investigates the shear behavior of normal-strength concrete members reinforced with CFRP bars ...

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices
We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.
