Pan‐Arctic Peatlands Have Expanded During Recent Warming

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
Arctic peatland carbon is important because it represents a large carbon stock that may be vulnerable to climate change. This work explores the expansion and/or shrinkage of Arctic peatlands using observations in two north–south transects in Canada and in Europe.

Theoretical three-and four-axis gimbal robot wrists [PDF]

open access: yes
In high-performance flight simulations, a four-axis gimbal system allows all possible rotations with acceptable gimbal angle rates while it avoids the so-callled 'gimbal lock' that occurs when gimbal rotational axes are colinear. In this paper, pertinent

Efficacy of Virtual Reality vs. Tablet Games for Pain and Anxiety in Children Undergoing Bone Pins Removal: Randomised Clinical Trial

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1791-1802, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims To verify the efficacy of virtual reality compared to tablet games for pain and anxiety management in children undergoing percutaneous bone pin and/or suture removal procedures. Design Randomised clinical trial using two parallel groups: (1) virtual reality or (2) tablet game.

Posture keeing property of the bicycle with twin gimbal mechanism using gyroscopic moment effect

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
Gyro actuator is often used for the posture control of systems which cannot be supported on a fixed ground. The gyroscopic moment makes preccesion movement of the gimbal mechanism and its effect depends on the rotating speed of the wheel.

Gimbal torque and coupling torque of six degrees of freedom magnetically suspended yaw gimbal

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 2020
Abstract When the three-axis intertially stabilized platform (ISP) realizes the fast response of yaw gimbal, coupling torques among three gimbals cause negative influence on the attitude stabilization precision of yaw gimbal which supports the imaging payloads. Therefore, the gimbal torque of six degrees of freedom (DOFs) yaw gimbal with the magnetic

Comparison of drone and ground surveys for the detection of a rare plant in a fragile ecosystem

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We compared the accuracy, time, and financial costs of drone and ground surveys for the detection of wood lilies (Lilium philadelphicum) in an endangered alvar ecosystem. We found that the drone surveys detected 73%–78% of the plants found in the ground surveys, but that this type of survey was more expensive and time consuming than the ground survey ...

Micro Biomimetic Eyeball for Humanoid Robots: A Visual System with High‐Density Functional Integration Based on an Origami Mechanism

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.
A biomimetic eyeball system (BES) based on a 3‐DOF miniature origami mechanism, which addresses the inherent issues of large size and weight in traditional electromechanical BESs is presented. Moreover, it maintains a level of visual functionality comparable to that of the human eye, including capabilities such as rapid scanning, target recognition ...

Digital Spatial Technologies to Compose the Map of the Southeast Iberia Megalithic Phenomenon. The Case Study of Fonelas (Granada, Spain)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 257-273, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT Megalithic landscapes in Southeast Iberia remain unevenly and insufficiently documented, particularly in rugged areas where traditional survey methods are limited. This paper addresses this gap by applying a multiscalar approach to the megalithic necropolises of the Fardes River (Granada, Spain), with the objective of detecting, documenting ...

Test results from a dynamic model dynaflex rotor [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
A one-fifth scale dynamic model of the Sikorsky Dynaflex rotor was tested in hover and in forward flight conditions in a wind tunnel. The Dynaflex rotor features an advanced composite structure which flexes to provide a constant speed universal joint ...
