Considerations for the Design of Sinusoidal Slug Testing Methods
Groundwater, EarlyView.Periodic hydraulic tests estimate aquifer properties using controlled groundwater‐level oscillations. Evaluating two sinusoidal slug‐test designs shows large motion errors when transfer‐link and flywheel ratios are high or variable. Rotating‐drive mechanisms are therefore suboptimal; stepper‐motor winches generate more accurate sinusoidal motion ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

A geophysical investigation of the Roter Kamm impact crater, Namibia
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Roter Kamm impact crater is located in the southern Namib Desert. The crater has a diameter of 2.5 km and belongs to the category of simple, bowl‐shaped impact craters, with an elevated rim of fractured target rock. The crater's interior is completely buried beneath sediments, preventing extensive surface investigations of the bedrock ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Compact Tubular Dielectric Elastomer Pump for Indoor Plants
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 25, July 5, 2026.This study develops a mountable rolled dielectric elastomer pump (MRDEP) using silicone films and MWCNT‐based electrodes. The MRDEP is completely soft, silent in operation, and easily mounted on a piping system. We use dry stacking methods, fabricate a multilayer dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA), and a pre‐straining process in one direction before ...
