A Robotic Testing Platform for Pipelined Discovery of Resilient Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a robotic testing platform enabling high‐throughput, multi‐parameter lifetime mapping of linear dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). By integrating programmable high‐voltage control and automated electromechanical measurements, the system identifies material and operating conditions that double actuator lifetime.

Evaluation and Optimization of COD Removal Performance for a Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant by Response Surface Methodology: The Case of Van Muradiye

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the performance of the Van Muradiye Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant was evaluated with Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The effects of pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and suspended solids (SS) on the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency were evaluated using samples collected from the plant's inlet and ...

Knowledge Sharing in the Mining Sector: Unlocking Employee Ambidexterity Through Psychological and Environmental Mediating Factors

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how and why individual knowledge sharing fosters ambidextrous behavior among nonmanagerial employees in an operationally intensive, environmentally sensitive industry. We conducted a survey of 243 operators across 10 plants of an international lime producer, finding that knowledge sharing is positively related to individual

Eco‐Efficient in Mediterranean Olive Grove Systems: Insights From a Life Cycle Cost Analysis in Southern Portugal

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assesses and compares the eco‐efficiency of six olive production systems in the Alentejo region, southern Portugal, employing a life cycle costing (LCC) approach directly integrated with a prior life cycle assessment (LCA). Although LCC has been increasingly applied to Mediterranean olive‐growing, empirical research in Portugal ...
