Embodied Intelligence for Micro‐Integrated Energy Systems: Key Technologies and Applications

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
Micro‐integrated energy systems, similar to robots, have strong sensing, decision‐making and control capabilities, which are sufficient to constitute an atypical broad‐sense embodied intelligent system in terms of hardware and software resources. The present paper proposes a systematic framework of embodied intelligence for micro‐integrated energy ...

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Modeling the Reflectance of the Lunar Regolith by a New Method Combining Monte Carlo Ray Tracing and Hapke’s Model with Application to Chang’E-1 IIM Data

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
In this paper, we model the reflectance of the lunar regolith by a new method combining Monte Carlo ray tracing and Hapke’s model. The existing modeling methods exploit either a radiative transfer model or a geometric optical model. However, the measured

Controlling soil disturbance of a lunar regolith simulant bed during depressurization in a vacuum chamber

Scientific Reports, 2021
A dusty thermal vacuum chamber (DTVC) containing a regolith simulant bed is essential for testing equipment and techniques related to lunar surface exploration.

Artificial light alters spatial and temporal habitat use by a crepuscular aerial insectivore

Ibis, EarlyView.
Artificial light is increasing worldwide, and has biological effects from molecular to ecosystem levels, which may be particularly severe for crepuscular and nocturnal animals. We investigated how artificial light affected spatial and temporal patterns of habitat use by Common Nighthawks Chordeiles minor in the southern Grassland and northern Boreal ...

Calculation of the Influence Zone for Planetary Sampling Based on DEM Simulation

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2021
In the design of planetary sampling devices, calculating the reaction force acting on the sampling devices is crucial. According to related research, the influence zone caused by sampling plays an important role in calculating the reaction force.

Spark plasma sintering using siliceous waste concrete powder

International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Spark plasma sintering (SPS) was performed using siliceous waste concrete powder for the effective utilization of waste concrete. The sintering temperature of the SPS compacts was optimized to improve their mechanical properties. Siliceous waste concrete powder was prepared using a pot‐milling procedure of waste concrete.

Spectral interpretation of late-stage mare basalt mineralogy unveiled by Chang’E-5 samples

Nature Communications, 2022
Laboratory spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction analyses on the Chang’E-5 lunar soil samples have demonstrated that the spectral features of lunar late-stage mare basalts are representative of iron-rich high-Ca pyroxene rather than olivine.

Insights on the volcanic and impact histories of the lunar nearside from the petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology of the Calcalong Creek lunar regolith breccia meteorite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 392-421, March 2025.
Abstract The Calcalong Creek lunar meteorite is a regolith breccia with a lithologically diverse array of clasts set in a glassy, highly vesicular matrix. Here, we present a comprehensive new analysis of the meteorite. Comparisons to remote sensing data, lunar sample lithologies, and lunar sample ages indicate that it was likely sourced from regolith ...
