An Integrated Fabric‐Pneumatic Soft Sensing System for Multi‐Site Muscle Activity Decoding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabric‐pneumatic chambers convert muscle deformation into pressure signals without electronics at the body‐contact sensing interface. A unified processing pipeline enables static posture classification, continuous elbow‐angle estimation, forearm gesture recognition, and knee‐movement detection across three anatomical sites.

Objectives and Key Results–Driven Multiagent Framework for Mechanical Design and Simulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Objectives and key results (OKR)‐agent, an OKR‐driven multiagent framework, turns a plain‐language engineering goal into completed mechanical simulations. Three peer agents—supervisor, modeler, and simulator—share a compact board of OKR and coordinate external molecular dynamics (MD) and finite‐element solvers through a standardized tool interface. The

Information Theory in Education

Social Sciences & Humanities Open
This paper explores the application of information theory in education. Shannon's theorems, originally developed to optimize the transmission of signals in telecommunications, is now central to modern digital technologies. Shannon's first theorem concerns the coding of data and suggests that it is always possible to adopt a language that is ...

How does the Kids SIPsmartER program impact the sugar‐sweetened beverage intake of students: An investigation beyond total treatment effect in randomized controlled trial

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study develops and empirically estimates a structural framework to decompose the causal pathways of multilevel behavioral interventions targeting adolescent health behaviors. We apply this framework to the Kids SIPsmartER (KSS) program, a 6‐month, school‐based intervention evaluated through a clustered randomized controlled trial in rural

Bridging the Gap between Formal Education and Informal Learning via Science Centre Pedagogy [PDF]

, 2014
The role of informal learning is increasing in the modern societies. This phenomenon is closely related to the growing impact of science and technology on our everyday lives. Lifelong learning needs new practical forms.

Food insecurity and unemployment among immigrants in the United States

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Immigrants can be more vulnerable to economic downturns and, during periods of economic hardship, more likely to experience food insecurity compared to natives. This study examines the differential effect of the unemployment rate on the probability of being food insecure among diverse groups of immigrant households relative to natives in the ...

Choice experiments on land managers' participation in environmental programs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of estimate validity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...
