Technical validation of the Predictive Optimal Water and Energy Irrigation (POWEIr) controller for solar-powered drip irrigation

Smart Agricultural Technology
To feed the growing population, agriculture production must be intensified using existing resources. Sustainable agriculture intensification is particularly important in low and middle income countries (LMICs), which disproportionately experience food ...

Australia's Migration Strategy: An Effective Response to Migrant Worker Exploitation?

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A series of publicised migrant worker injuries and deaths has drawn attention to the issue of migrant worker exploitation (MWE) in Australia. In response, the Australian Government has included ‘Tackling Worker Exploitation’ as a key area of its Migration Strategy which it introduced in 2023. However, it is unclear how effective the Strategy’s

A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

T. rex cognition was T. rex‐like—A critical outlook on diverging views of the neurocognitive evolution in dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

Simulative and Experimental Investigation of Vibration Transfer Path at Gearboxes

Applied Sciences
Condition monitoring systems are widely used in gearboxes. Gears are one of the most crucial components for power transmission. Hence, the optimal sensor positions for condition monitoring of gears should be investigated to maximize reliability and to ...

Analysis of manufacturing costs for conventional gear manufacturing processes: a case study of a spur engine gear

, 2018
This paper presents an in-depth manufacturing cost analysis of conventional wrought steel gear manufacturing and a case study of a spur engine gear is evaluated by real usage data, including a benchmark in gear manufacturing cost calculations between the

A pipeline crisis or a sustainability crisis? Local and national succession planning for headteachers in England

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Recruiting and retaining school leaders is a challenge in many systems worldwide. Previous research has identified three distinct ways in which succession planning can be conceptualised and approached: a ‘pipeline’ approach seeks to match supply and demand for the posts that need filling; a ‘pool’ strategy involves proactively identifying and ...

The impact of trauma‐informed teacher education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, two cohorts of university students in an employment‐based teacher education course undertook trauma‐informed education training embedded within their coursework to enhance their preparedness to work with diverse learners and their self‐efficacy for trauma‐informed teaching. With increased calls for teacher preparation programmes

Experimental investigation of drag loss and plate separation behavior of wet clutches under external forces

Results in Engineering
Understanding the drag loss behavior of wet clutches is crucial for the development of low-loss clutch systems. For non-horizontal installation positions and non-stationary applications, external forces caused by the inclination or vehicle dynamics act ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over
