Structure‐Aware Machine Learning for Polymers: A Hierarchical Graph Network for Predicting Properties From Statistical Ensembles

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work presents a structure‐aware graph convolutional network that models polymers as statistical ensembles to predict macroscopic properties. By combining topologically realistic graphs generated via kinetic Monte Carlo simulations with explicit molar mass distributions, the framework achieves high accuracy in classifying architectures and ...

Life Cycle Assessment of Functionally Enhanced Polymers-Engineered Nanomaterials or Conventional Additives?

, 2016
Engineered nanomaterials, where at least one dimension is within 1-100 nm, are produced and used in many consumer products, with the purpose of enhancing specific material properties (e. g., in plastic products). Conventionally, organic and inorganic non-

Finite‐Time Disturbance Observer‐Based Nonlinear Robust Adaptive Control of Hydraulic Manipulator With Parameter Identification

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydraulic manipulators exhibit strong coupling, pronounced nonlinearities, and significant modeling uncertainties, which hinder high‐precision motion control. This paper proposes a finite‐time disturbance observer–based nonlinear robust adaptive control (RAC‐FTDO) framework enhanced by a physically consistent dynamic parameter identification ...

A dramaturgy of uncertainty: Transdisciplinary manoeuvres across forestry and theatre

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The uncertainties of climate change mean that forestry adaptation strategies are often complex and contested. Research has suggested that there is an interest in the forestry sector for facilitated dialogue about uncertainty (de Pellegrin Llorente et al., 2023).

Value‐Added Recycling of Beverage Carton Waste Into Thermoplastic Sandwich Structures With Enhanced Energy Absorption and Damping Properties

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Preparation of lightweight composite panels from multilayer beverage carton waste. ABSTRACT Beverage carton waste, a multi‐layer composite of cardboard, polymer, and aluminum, presents significant recycling challenges for conventional recovery technologies. This work presents a manufacturing process‐oriented method that allows shredded beverage cartons

Flooring systems from locally grown Casuarina wood: Performance evaluation based on simulated in-service testing

, 2018
In Egypt there is a lack of forestry regions and it depends totally on imported wood from several areas as Europe and Australia. Casuarina Glauca Sieber ex Spreng is an evergreen tree with very hard, heavy and a dark-brown structured wood that is grown ...

A Review of Mechanical Reinforcement and Piezoresistive Self‐Sensing in Carbon Nanotube Fiber Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
PSPP‐TRL mapping of CNT‐modified CFRP literature, with four recurring confusions resolved and five scale‐up problems quantified. ABSTRACT Carbon nanotube‐modified fiber composites are often presented as a route to stronger, tougher, and self‐sensing structural materials.

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.
