What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

An extended social force model for the dynamics of electric bicycles in isolated non-motorized lanes

AIP Advances
This study proposes a model for simulating the dynamics of electric bicycle flow in isolated non-motorized lanes. The model is an extension of the conventional social force model with an additional rotational degree of freedom that describes the steering

IS THE STRUCTURE OF HAPPINESS EQUATIONS THE SAME IN POOR AND RICH COUNTRIES? THE CASE OF SOUTH AFRICA [PDF]

Are happiness patterns structurally the same when comparing poor and rich countries? Using cross-sectional data from the SALDRU93 survey, we show that the relationships between subjective well-being and socioeconomic variables have a similar structure ...

Selectively Cleavable Silicone Elastomers Based on Acetal Cross‐Linkers: Synthesis, Properties, and Study of Chemical Degradation

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A novel silicone elastomer based on selectively cleavable acetal cross‐linkers incorporated by hydrosilylation was developed. Different acetal cross‐linkers were synthesized and introduced into a silicone formulation of vinyl‐terminated PDMS and tetrakis(dimethylsiloxy)silane using Karstedt's catalyst.

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

(In)justice in Smart Cities: Barriers and an Integrative Framework for Solution Pathways From a Global Perspective

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart city initiatives aim for sustainability and inclusiveness, but recent evidence shows that they often lead to injustices. Although this contradiction has received growing academic attention, a comprehensive understanding of how justice is addressed within smart city practices remains limited.

A Multifunctional Bioactive Nanoscale Coating Deposited by Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Polymerization of Peppermint Essential Oil

Small, EarlyView.
Atmospheric plasma polymerization transforms peppermint essential oil into ultrathin, substrate‐independent bioactive coatings with antioxidant, contact‐active antibacterial, and immunomodulatory functions. The coating disrupts Gram‐negative pathogens, potentiates prophylactic antibiotics, suppresses pro‐inflammatory signaling, and promotes M2 ...

Systematic Learning and Pedagogy Through a Modular, Progressive‐Based Simulation Modeling Framework for Complex Systems

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart Transportation Systems (SmTS) will exceed complex systems with their classification as complex, sociotechnical, and AI‐based systems. Possessing a toolkit that helps systemically understand, analyze, and assess these systems will be advantageous in the early stages of the systems engineering (SE) lifecycle, and Agent Based Models (ABMs ...
