Bridging Human and Plant Adaptations for Climate Resilience
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is transforming agriculture through both gradual shifts and increasingly unpredictable extremes, challenging farmers' ability to protect crops and livelihoods. This study brings together farmer experiences and plant adaptation strategies to explore how people and plants respond to similar climate pressures.

Direct Measurement of Explosive Impulse From Contact to the Ultra‐Near Field
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Measurement of impulse from explosive charges in contact and ultra‐near‐field regimes remains poorly characterised due to the short duration of loading, high strain rates, and the difficulty of obtaining direct momentum‐based measurements.

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Automating bridge inspections requires more than detecting individual damage instances. It demands systems capable of describing, contextualizing, and interpreting damage in an inspection‐relevant manner. Conventional computer vision approaches, such as object detection and segmentation, primarily address visual recognition tasks and are ...

Influence of rockbolt pretension on bolting behaviors by gravel bolting tests
The influence of rockbolt pretension on bolting has not been well addressed, despite its critical importance in drift support systems. In this study, laboratory and numerical simulations of gravel bolting are conducted to investigate the effects of ...
