Unraveling the ecological functioning of the monsoonal Songkhram river floodplain in Thailand by integrating data on soil, water, and vegetation [PDF]

Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology, 2018
Although the functioning of river floodplains as sink or source of nutrients has been studied extensively for temperate regions, similar studies in tropical regions are less abundant and studies integrating data about floodplain soil, vegetation, and water are scarce.

A generalised finite difference scheme based on compact integrated radial basis function for flow in heterogeneous soils [PDF]

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, 2017
SummaryIn the present paper, we develop a generalised finite difference approach based on compact integrated radial basis function (CIRBF) stencils for solving highly nonlinear Richards equation governing fluid movement in heterogeneous soils. The proposed CIRBF scheme enjoys a high level of accuracy and a fast convergence rate with grid refinement ...

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...
