Field‐based individual plant phenotyping of herbaceous species by unmanned aerial vehicle

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Recent advances in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs) and image processing have made high‐throughput field phenotyping possible at plot/canopy level in the mass grown experiment. Such techniques are now expected to be used for individual level phenotyping in

Polylactic Acid (PLA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), and Chitosan: the Biodegradable Transition in Medical Waste Management

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The shift to biodegradable materials in healthcare promises reduced plastic pollution, but their production, adoption, and long‐term impacts remain complex. Integrating lifecycle insights with global policy coordination is essential for meaningful environmental gains. Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic sharply increased medical waste, intensifying concerns

As ESS refer to human needs and interests, values are to be considered when dealing with the concept in ...

Cross‐Linking Matters: Atomistic Simulations of the Thermal Degradation of Polymethylsiloxanes

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
Atomistic simulations reveal how cross‐linking of polysiloxanes governs degradation pathways, gas evolution, and mass retention. Abstract Utilizing an advanced machine‐learning interatomic potential (MLIP) for Si─C─O─H, the thermal breakdown of polysiloxanes covering polymers from linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to highly networked ...
