The cost effectiveness of environmental policy instruments in the presence of imperfect compliance. [PDF]

open access: yes
We aim to integrate information, monitoring and enforcement costs into the choice of environmental policy instruments. We use a static partial equilibrium framework to study different combinations of regulatory instruments (taxes, standards…) and ...

Elimination of Necking and Aspect Ratio Dependence in Uniaxial Actuators by Continuous Fiber Reinforcement

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel carbon fiber reinforcement for dielectric elastomer actuators enhances actuation force while decoupling electromechanical performance from the actuator's aspect ratio. Unlike conventional fiber reinforcements, it enables a uniform planar stretch state along the entire actuator.

Using emission standards under incomplete compliance [PDF]

open access: yes
Using the case study of water pollution in the Flemish textile industry, we discuss three empirical questions concerning the use of emission standards. We find that the Becker result ("maximal fine / minimal inspection") does not hold if we include rule ...

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Precision Diagnostics in Sports‐Related Traumatic Brain Injury: Pathophysiology, Biomarker Development and Emerging Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
Sports‐related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) remain underdiagnosed, within amateur athletic cohorts. This review critically synthesises recent advancements in AI‐assisted neuroimaging, blood‐based biomarker profiling, wearable biosensing platforms for early detection, injury stratification, and longitudinal surveillance of TBIs.
