Linking Hydrodynamic Transport and Nutrient Fluxes to Land‐Use Patterns: A Predictive Framework for Soil Conservation in a Mountainous Catchment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of land use on total suspended solids (TSS) flux and nutrient leaching within a mixed land‐use catchment. The primary objective was to enhance predictive accuracy for soil erosion and water quality by assessing hydrologic drivers critical for managing degradation risks.

Symmetry Breaking Enables Direction‐Selective Power Routing Between Diffraction and Dissipation in Obliquely Metallized Opaque Metagratings

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Oblique metallization creates one‐sided opaque metagratings that route zero‐order‐hidden optical power between nonzero diffraction and material dissipation. Cross‐sectional‐SEM‐guided models reproduce measured zero‐order spectra and reveal direction‐selective channel exchange governed by morphology and Rayleigh‐order availability.

Aboveground herbivory elevates belowground rhizosphere volatile organic compound concentrations in ambient and polluted air, independent of volatile sampling methodology

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

Correcting Left‐Truncation Bias in Weibull Reliability Analysis: Synthetic Data Validation for Electrical Utility Assets

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incomplete historical records in utility asset datasets frequently introduce left‐truncation bias, leading to distorted reliability estimates and suboptimal asset management decisions. This study presents a systematic framework for validating left‐truncation correction in Weibull reliability analysis using synthetic data representative of ...

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Forensic Hydraulic Analysis of Floodplain Connectivity Driven by Historical Beaver Dams in Colorado Headwater Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

Using Airborne Laser Scanning and Sentinel‐2 to Understand Subcanopy Light Regimes and Understory Diversity of Vascular Plants in Temperate Mountain Forests

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that not just Airborne Laser Scanning, but also Sentinel‐2 can effectively estimate absolute canopy cover and canopy cover heterogeneity ‐ structural metrics that determine the subcanopy light regime, found to be linked to the vascular plant species richness in the understory of temperate mountain forests.
