Transport Infrastructure Investment and Demand Uncertainty [PDF]

In transportation planning there can be long lead times to adapt capacity. This paper addresses two questions. First, in a one mode world (say rail or road), what is the optimal capacity choice when faced with uncertain demand, long lead times and ...

Shape‐Memory Alloy Torsion Strips for Soft Robotic Manipulation and Morphing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In this research, a dedicated configuration of SMA strip is proposed for soft robotic manipulation and morphing. This configuration has broad application prospects and demonstrates remarkable advantages in soft body joint operations. Mimicking invertebrates, soft robots tend to control each of their body joints to achieve the desired shape changes and ...

Elastic Fast Marching Learning from Demonstration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents Elastic Fast Marching Learning (EFML), a novel approach for learning from demonstration that combines velocity‐based planning with elastic optimization. EFML enables smooth, precise, and adaptable robot trajectories in both position and orientation spaces.

Review of Memristors for In‐Memory Computing and Spiking Neural Networks

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Memristors uniquely enable energy‐efficient, brain‐inspired computing by acting as both memory and synaptic elements. This review highlights their physical mechanisms, integration in crossbar arrays, and role in spiking neural networks. Key challenges, including variability, relaxation, and stochastic switching, are discussed, alongside emerging ...

Culturally Safe Assistive Technology Provision in Australia: Concept Mapping Perspectives From Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disparities in Assistive Technology (AT) access exist for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples despite recent policy reforms. This paper brings together First Nations and Western academic ways of being, knowing and doing to deliver an AT practice analysis based upon primary data from two research reports into the cultural safety of AT

Learning to explain environmental crises: A dialogic analysis of teacher professional learning between Chile and the United States

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Many studies and initiatives are animated by the potential for science education to intervene in the climate crisis and crises of environmental degradation and disinformation. For science teachers to learn to address these issues in their classes, their teaching must expand beyond scientific facts and face controversial social aspects. Dealing

Flexible quantum circuits using scalable continuous-variable cluster states [PDF]

, 2016
We show that measurement-based quantum computation on scalable continuous-variable (CV) cluster states admits more quantum-circuit flexibility and compactness than similar protocols for standard square-lattice CV cluster states.
