From Swarm to Individual: Emergent Individuality in Light‐Mediated Robot Collectives

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Can individuality emerge from a swarm? Using nominally homogeneous phototactic robots, we show that collective light conditions reorganize robot‐level behavioral profiles. Global illumination amplifies persistent differences in state occupancy, while robot‐mounted local light cues reduce fixed differentiation and favor transient high‐switching profiles.

Fatigue‐Driven Adaptive Assistance for a Semi‐Active Upper‐Limb Occupational Exoskeleton

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Physical fatigue during a physical activity is estimated in real time to enable adaptive exoskeleton assistance. By continuously adjusting the level of support according to the user’s fatigue, this approach reduces physical demand and provides a pathway toward personalized exoskeleton assistance.

First Report of Uniparental Isodisomy of Chromosome 15 Revealing Angelman Syndrome and Microphthalmia Associated With a Novel Homozygous ALDH1A3 Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paternal isodisomy of chromosome 15 (iUPD15) is a recognized cause of Angelman syndrome (AS), accounting for approximately 2%–5% of cases. Additionally, another recognized consequence of iUPD is the unmasking of autosomal recessive disorders. However, reports of recessive disorders resulting from iUPD15 remain scarce in the literature.

Unveiling opportunities and challenges for a circular approach to macaúba biorefining: a technological roadmap

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The macaúba fruit, native to tropical and subtropical regions, has received considerable attention in recent years as a promising raw material for the production of advanced biofuels in Brazil. However, the development of large‐scale biomass requires overcoming significant challenges, such as designing circular biorefineries.

The importance of biogenic carbon storage in the greenhouse gas footprint of medium density fiberboard from poplar wood and bagasse

Cleaner Environmental Systems, 2021
Carbon storage in long-lived bio-based products is typically ignored or accounted for in a simplistic way in greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint calculations.

Women's lived experiences of a coordinated multidisciplinary hospital‐based center for survivors of violence: A qualitative phenomenological study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate a support structure for women victims of violence from the perspective of the survivors themselves. Methods We conducted semi‐structured interviews with 17 women attending a Maison des Femmes (MdF), a hospital‐based multiprofessional structure providing medical, psychological, social, and legal support to women victims of
