Diatom‐Inspired 1D Immobile Robots Capable of 2D Collective Mobility
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents a diatom‐inspired robotic system that explores group coordination through limited physical interactions. The researchers tune groups of Barbots, simple robotic agents that possess neither individual mobility nor explicit communication capabilities, to achieve complex and adaptive collaboration based on environmental light.

The rain feels different under the same umbrella: Experiences with poverty across LGBTQ subgroups
American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Population‐based survey data have demonstrated that LGBTQ communities report varying rates of economic insecurity, yet very little research directly assesses how pathways into and experiences with poverty look different among subgroups at the intersections of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).

AerospaceAs an advanced design technology for large wide-body airliners, the three-dimensional (3D) dual-sidestay (DSS) landing gear retraction mechanism can share the ground loads transferred by the landing gear, reducing the load on the wings.

Simulation of Landing Gear Dynamics and Brake-Gear Interaction [PDF]
, 2008 The term landing gear indicates one of the main functions of the gear, namely the containment of the landing gear impact but it fails to describe the other functions, such as provision of means for the aircraft to maneuver on the ground, taxi and take ...

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Firefighters may experience occupational exposure to per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Volunteer firefighters make up 65% of the US fire service, but their serum PFAS profiles have not been well characterized. This study aims to (1) describe PFAS serum profiles among US volunteer firefighters from 9 states enrolled in ...

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

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

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 ...
