Learning curve of nurse‐performed electromagnetic‐guided nasogastric tube placement in adult ICU patients: A multicenter prospective study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Safe and timely nasogastric tube (NGT) placement is essential for effective enteral nutrition delivery in critically ill patients. Electromagnetic‐guided systems has been shown to improve placement accuracy and may reduce delays from confirmatory imaging, but evidence on how nurses acquire competence with this technology remains ...

Transforming a Poaching Hotspot: Embedded NGO Governance Between State and Community in Southern China

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how a local environmental NGO in southern China transformed Guantouling Hill, once a prominent poaching hotspot along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, into a recognised model of community‐based biodiversity conservation.

A dramaturgy of uncertainty: Transdisciplinary manoeuvres across forestry and theatre

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The uncertainties of climate change mean that forestry adaptation strategies are often complex and contested. Research has suggested that there is an interest in the forestry sector for facilitated dialogue about uncertainty (de Pellegrin Llorente et al., 2023).

Incidence of concussion in intercollegiate wheelchair basketball athletes

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Concussion surveillance in adaptive sports is essential for improving athlete safety and informing prevention strategies, yet existing data remain limited. To our knowledge, this is the first longitudinal investigation of concussion incidence in athletes with disability across multiple seasons.

String‐Stable Platooning Control of Connected Automated Vehicles Under Non‐Uniform Stochastic Communication Delays

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper is concerned with the platooning control problem of connected automated vehicles (CAVs) under non‐uniform stochastic vehicle‐to‐vehicle (V2V) communication delays. Most existing relevant studies assume uniform or deterministic or slowly varying delays, or design platoon controllers based on worst‐case delay bounds, resulting in ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Validation of Neural Network Controllers for Uncertain Systems Using the Keep‐Close Approach: Robustness Analysis and Safety Verification

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The safety verification of neural network (NN) controllers operating in uncertain environments characterized by unmodeled dynamics, nonlinearities, and time delays remains a fundamental challenge in robust control analysis. This article introduces a novel method, termed Keep‐Close, for analyzing the performance and robustness of uncertain ...

Privacy‐Preserving Data‐Driven Distributed MPC for Heterogeneous Nonlinear Multi‐Agent Systems

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Distributed model predictive control (DMPC) is a cornerstone for coordinating multi‐agent systems, yet simultaneously ensuring data privacy, handling unknown nonlinear dynamics, and managing heterogeneous constraints remains an open challenge.

Linear System Identification and Control of a Low‐Cost High‐Performance Omnidirectional Marine Surface Vehicle for Swarming Applications

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine operations traditionally rely on human intervention, a costly and disruptive method. Autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) offer a powerful alternative, capable of operating autonomously, for extended periods, and with various sensors for various missions.
