Characterization and Selection of Contractile Actuators for Soft Robotics Operating in the Quasistatic Regime

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

An unusual titanosaur axis from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil and its significance for sauropod anatomy and systematics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

Considering spatiotemporal evolutionary information in dynamic multi‐objective optimisation

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Preserving population diversity and providing knowledge, which are two core tasks in the dynamic multi‐objective optimisation (DMO), are challenging since the sampling space is time‐ and space‐varying. Therefore, the spatiotemporal property of evolutionary information needs to be considered in the DMO.

Inter‐ and intraspecific variation in theropod dinosaur dental microwear and its palaeoecological implications

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Differences in skull and tooth morphology, stomach contents, and estimated bite force between medium‐to‐large sized (≥100 kg) predatory theropod dinosaurs have long been suspected to correlate with differences in their diets and dietary guilds (e.g., hypercarnivory, piscivory).

Current practice and guideline adherence in renal dose adjustment for patients with chronic kidney disease: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims To quantify prescribing adherence to renal dosing recommendations in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD; Stage 3 and above) and to evaluate the clinical consequences of non‐adherence. Methods This systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42025620883).

Estimating Quality-of-Service in Urban Vehicular Networks Through Machine Learning

IEEE Access
Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as a promising tool for addressing complex challenges in multiple domains. In the context of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs), ML has gained much more attention due to its ability to solve major known problems in areas

Form flows function: Learner‐centered game Re‐design in a STEM classroom

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐designing games facilitates interest‐driven learning and immerses learners in systems thinking. However, there are limited studies exploring how the form and function of tabletop games influence learners' design decisions and learning experiences. To address this gap, we conducted a mixed‐methods study in a STEM classroom in western Canada.
