Large-Scale Advanced Prop-Fan (LAP) pitch change actuator and control design report [PDF]

open access: yes
In recent years, considerable attention has been directed toward improving aircraft fuel consumption. Studies have shown that the high inherent efficiency previously demonstrated by low speed turboprop propulsion systems may now be extended to today's ...

Shedding Light on Dark Romance: Light Personalities' Reduced Rejection of Machiavellian and Sadistic Partners

open access: yesPersonal Relationships, Volume 33, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Drawing on the complementarity perspective of romantic attraction, we examined dyadic initial attraction in a speed‐dating context among individuals characterized by light and dark personality traits. As hypothesized, analyses of dating success, involving over 1.400 heterosexual dates with 128 participants, showed that Machiavellianism was ...

Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

The Effect of Differing Levels of Intrasexual and Intersexual Selection on Survival and Reproduction Under a Heatwave

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Precopulatory mating behaviour, are important for fitness and can be disrupted by heatwave's. Here we assess how differing levels of intrasexual and intrasexual selection in precopulatory mating behaviours impacts fitness responses to heatwaves. We find that the likelihood of having a brood is impacted by differences in intrasexual and intersexual ...

Age‐Specific Survival Estimation of a Eurasian Crane Population Highlights a Long‐Term Decline in Juvenile Survival

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Eurasian crane (Grus grus), a symbol of conservation success in Europe, has made an impressive recovery. However, our results show that over the study period, juvenile survival declined by almost 30% overall, while sub‐adults experienced a smaller decrease, and adults showed no change.

Heterospecific Dominance Hierarchy in Roosting Site Selection at a Shared Nest Resource

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our study demonstrates that different species use different aspects of the nest resource, preferring roosting chambers depending on the location of the chamber within the colony. To access this resource, we show that interactions occur between the species, resulting in a dominance hierarchy with size being positively related to the dominance of a ...
