Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Engineered Gravel Trench Hyporheic Exchange to Create Cold‐Water Thermal Refuges

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Warming rivers are driving a loss or fragmentation of cold‐water habitat and providing the impetus to develop proactive thermal management approaches to maintain suitable habitat in rivers. One innovative approach is through the creation of cold‐water thermal refuges during periods of thermal stress for aquatic species.

Geomorphic Responses to Post‐Grazing Recovery and Stream Restoration in Semiarid Grassland Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semiarid grassland streams are sensitive to land use, climate, extreme discharges, and internal geomorphic thresholds that drive episodic erosion. Rooted in a process‐based philosophy and commonly applied to historically wood‐rich, beaver‐modified systems, low‐tech process‐based restoration using structures is increasingly being extended to ...

Ferromagnetic Cobalt Oxide With Structural Distortion and Oxidation State Changes for Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Detection

Small, EarlyView.
High H2S gas sensitivity was improved by electrochemically engineering Co3O4/CoO heterostructures with oxygen vacancies and aligning nanosized particles via magnetic‐field‐assisted deposition. This alignment enhanced gas diffusion and electron transport, reducing base resistance. The resulting sensor exhibited high selectivity and a strong response (Rg/

‘Everything is a signal’: speaking circuits and noisy signs in the making of language‐oriented AI « Tout est signal » : circuits parlants et signes bruyants dans la création de l'IA orientée langage

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are often presumed to be capable of revealing unmediated truths about the world, including the truths language might hold, echoing the long‐standing assertion that language's primary function is to directly translate reality.

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...

A Semi‐Analytical Energy Model for Particle‐Based Fluid Simulation Involving Complex Moving Boundaries

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract While semi‐analytical boundary handling techniques have proven effective for modeling particle‐based fluid‐solid interactions, they can become unstable when applied to mesh boundaries undergoing dynamic motion or featuring complex, sharp geometries.
