Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Effects of Sediment‐Control Operations on Fish and Macroinvertebrate Communities in Dam Reservoirs

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sediments are avoided in many river and dam managements because of their adverse effects on water usage and flood control. Recently, sedimentation control measures, including sluicing, have been employed to manage sediments in river channels and restore communities in dammed rivers.

Photopatterned surface polymer-stabilized alignment (SPSA) for tunable liquid crystal long-period fiber gratings in hollow core fibers: a novel fabrication strategy inspired by SPSA

JPhys Photonics
A novel and straightforward method for fabricating liquid crystal (LC)-based long-period fiber gratings was developed by employing a surface polymer-stabilized alignment technique in conjunction with a binary grating photomask.

Long-period gratings in chalcogenide fibers

, 2010
Les verres chalcogénures sont des matériaux optiques connus depuis 50 ans. Ils sont fortement non-linéaires, transparents dans l'infrarouge et photosensibles à la lumière visible. Grâce à des percées récentes du côté des procédés de fabrication, leurs applications dans divers domaines sont devenus possibles, notamment dans les capteurs biochimiques, le

Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.

Risk factors for dental overgrowth in rabbits: A retrospective study using electronic health records

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rabbits’ teeth grow continuously. Overgrown teeth are a frequent cause for veterinary consultation and can have severe welfare implications. The risk factors for overgrown teeth are incompletely understood. Methods Rabbits with overgrown teeth recorded in their electronic health records (EHRs) were identified from a large population

Ungulate substrate use in fauna passages

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Fauna passages are increasingly constructed at major roads and railways to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure and traffic on wildlife. The function of such passages depends on design, including the construction materials, soil, and vegetation.
