Designing Wire Mazes for Replicating Natural Echoes to Study Bat Biosonar Function
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A validated framework combining efficient physical modeling (multiple scattering model) and deep learning is presented to guide wire‐maze design for bat biosonar studies. This approach rapidly generates large datasets to test acoustic distinguishability among wire arrangements.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.The space pump transports lunar regolith under vacuum condition. A fully 3D‐printed biomimetic peristaltic pump demonstrates reliable transport of liquids and solids using pneumatic ring actuators and flexible fused filament fabrication. The system operates under atmospheric and vacuum conditions, achieves high flow rates, and enables self‐priming ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Protecting endangered aquatic species while sustaining farming communities can require water buyback programs that are both cost‐effective and responsive to the variability and unpredictability of drought conditions. Working in close partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Georgia Water Planning and Policy Center, we co‐design parallel
