“You just want to re‐open our biggest wounds, don't you?”: Homeplace ethnography as (polluted) environmental method

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract When I was 12, my family told me a story about their community falling apart and coming together, a time when someone tried putting a nuclear facility in their (our?) hometown. Since we moved when I was too young to remember, the story had little significance until I embarked on a “hometown” ethnographic journey for my dissertation.

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Mapping School Accessibility in Africa: High‐Resolution Spatial Analysis Uncovers Inequalities in Education Access

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Education is a cornerstone of sustainable development, yet large disparities in access persist across and within countries—particularly in Africa, where millions remain underserved. Among several factors influencing educational participation, physical accessibility to schools (in terms of travel time) is not comprehensively understood ...

Boosting Performance of PANI@N‐WHL‐AC by a Modified Water‐in‐Salt‐Electrolyte Strategy for Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Small, EarlyView.
MSA‐regulated water‐in‐salt electrolyte enables dual‐ion (Zn2+/H+) storage and stabilizes Zn plating/stripping in PANI@N‐doped biomass‐derived carbon cathodes. The synergistic electrolyte–electrode engineering delivers high energy density and long‐term cycling stability for aqueous zinc‐ion batteries.

Vision language models for bridge inspections: A review of applications in image‐based damage documentation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Automating bridge inspections requires more than detecting individual damage instances. It demands systems capable of describing, contextualizing, and interpreting damage in an inspection‐relevant manner. Conventional computer vision approaches, such as object detection and segmentation, primarily address visual recognition tasks and are ...

Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

TriCrackNet: Trilateral Segmentation Network for Real‐Time Crack Segmentation

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To achieve high‐precision real‐time crack segmentation, we propose TriCrackNet, an efficient network based on a tri‐branch collaborative architecture incorporating boundary constraints, semantic parsing, and spatial refinement. In the semantic branch, efficient atrous spatial pyramid pooling (EASPP) is integrated.
