UC Food Waste: A Multimodal Robotic Perception Dataset for Robust Contaminant Detection in Complex Biowaste Scenes

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A balanced multimodal food‐waste dataset and a novel Split Spatial‐Spectral Attention fusion framework are presented for robotic contaminant detection. Separate processing of RGB, thermal, and multispectral inputs preserves subtle material signatures before feature integration, reducing modality interference and improving classification and ...

Litter Decomposition of Imperata cylindrica in a Copper Tailing Areas With Different Restoration History: Fungal Community Dynamics and Driving Factors

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Microorganisms drive litter decomposition while maintaining the chemical cycle of ecosystems. We used the dominant vegetation (Imperata cylindrica) in the mining area selected for this study for this experiment to explore fungal community characteristics,

Decomposition disentangled: a test of the multiple mechanisms by which nitrogen enrichment alters litter decomposition [PDF]

, 2019
Nitrogen (N) enrichment has direct effects on ecosystem functioning by altering soil abiotic conditions and indirect effects by reducing plant diversity and shifting plant functional composition from dominance by slow to fast growing species.

TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...

Litter mixing promoted decomposition and altered microbial community in common bean root litter

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background Decomposition of plant litter is a key driver of carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Mixing litters of different plant species may alter the decomposition rate, but its effect on the microbial decomposer community in plant ...

Optimized Land–Water Management Expands Afforestation Potential Under Land and Human Water‐Use Constraints

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human water demand constrains China's feasible afforestation potential more strongly than is commonly recognized, and future climate change further intensifies this limitation. Integrating land‐use optimization with water‐saving measures substantially expands feasible afforestation area and associated carbon sinks, revealing a practical pathway to ...

Stage-dependent associations between leaf litter chemistry and decomposition under nitrogen deposition and reduced precipitation in a subtropical forest

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Litter decomposition regulates carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems and is sensitive to nitrogen deposition and drought. As decomposition proceeds, litter chemistry changes and the decomposition rate decrease, likely with a ...

Multirobot Aerial Soft Manipulator for Floating Litter Collection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multirobot aerial manipulator enables autonomous floating litter collection by controlling the shape of a flexible rope equipped with a hook‐based tool. Adaptive rope‐shape planning enhances grasping performance while reducing tension, demonstrating the potential of aerial robots for floating litter removal. Removing floating litter from water bodies
