Epistemic diversity and the politics of knowledge in plant disease management: Insights from the Xylella fastidiosa epidemic in southern Italy

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Xylella fastidiosa is a major plant pathogen affecting crops such as grapes, citrus, almonds, and olives, with potentially severe consequences for agricultural production and rural livelihoods worldwide. This paper examines the conflict around the management of the X. fastidiosa outbreak affecting olive trees in southern Italy.

Stop Using Limiting Stimuli as a Measure of Sensitivities of Energetic Materials

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurately estimating the sensitivity of explosive materials is a potentially life‐saving task that requires standardised protocols across nations. One of the most widely applied procedures worldwide is the so‐called ‘1‐In‐6’ test from the United Nations (UN) Manual of Tests in Criteria, which estimates a ‘limiting stimulus’ for a material. In

A variant of Newton's method for generalized equations

open access: yes, 2005
Summary: In this article, we study a variant of Newton's method of the following form \[ 0\in f(x_k)+ h\nabla f(x_k) (x_{k+1}-x_k)+ F(x_{k+1}), \] where \(f\) is a function whose Fréchet derivative is \(K\)-Lipschitz, \(F\) is a set-valued map between two Banach spaces \(X\) and \(Y\) and \(h\) is a constant.

A Two Degree of Freedom Approach for Discrete‐Time Sliding Mode Control

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new two degree of freedom (2‐DOF) framework for discrete‐time sliding mode control (DSMC) that decouples the disturbed evolution from its nominal counterpart. The novel nominal/disturbed subsystem separation for DSMC can be used to define multiple closed‐loop specifications. The nominal regulation (or tracking) controller

Machine learning‐driven advances in carbon‐based quantum dots: Opportunities accompanied by challenges

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
Machine learning provides a unifying framework to connect structure, fluorescence properties, and applications of carbon‐based quantum dots. This review highlights how data‐driven strategies enable fluorescence regulation, reveal underlying mechanisms, and accelerate the rational design of functional carbon dots.

Riverine Migration Success of Salmonid Smolts Following Their Entrainment in a Hydropower Off‐Channel Diversion in an Upland River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salmonid fishes typically express anadromy. During their juvenile riverine emigration, their downstream movements can be inhibited by hydropower schemes that entrain fish in their intakes. Here, the riverine migration success of smolts of brown trout Salmo trutta (“trout smolt”) and Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts (“salmon smolt”) was ...
