Fundraising as Contracting: Why Nonprofits Accept In‐Kind Donations

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In‐kind (nonmonetary) donations are a popular form of philanthropy that have received much less scholarly attention than monetary gifts. This study documents the prevalence of types of in‐kind giving and associated organizational practices, then explores links between the perceptions of nonprofit managers, organizational practices, and ...

Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.

Bone Anvils and New Types of Osseous Tools at Walīla (Volubilis, Morocco): Use of Animal Byproducts in the Industries of a Medieval Town

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bone anvils used to sharpen metal sickle blades are frequently documented in the archaeological record of the Roman and medieval Mediterranean and beyond, with new finds reported each year. This article reports anvils from the early medieval town of Walīla (Roman Volubilis) in northern Morocco and presents two other types of bone tools (bone ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Control for Real‐Time Hybrid Simulation of Civil Structures

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Real‐time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is a cyber‐physical technique that studies the dynamic behavior of a system by combining physical and numerical components that are coupled through a boundary condition enforcer. In structural engineering, the numerical components are subjected to environmental loads that become dynamic displacements of the ...

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...
