Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A novel soft robotic propeller overcomes traditional efficiency‐flexibility tradeoffs via a hybrid pneumatic‐cable actuation strategy. This architecture enables active stiffness modulation with dual‐mode locomotion: tunable biomimetic swimming and earthworm‐inspired wriggling for confined spaces.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

Stakeholder Perspectives on Therapeutic and Safe Building Design in Residential Care
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Residential care is a form of out‐of‐home care that plays a critical role in supporting vulnerable young people in Australia. However, there is an evidence gap regarding the built environment in this context. This research aimed to explore the perspectives of key stakeholders in residential care in Victoria, Australia, regarding design that ...

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.Abstract Turf toe is a hallux metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) injury seen in sports like football and soccer where the foot experiences axial load while fixed to the ground with the great toe hyperextended at the MTPJ. Depending on severity, turf toe can be quite devastating in athletes and can require operative intervention.

Defining Remanufacturing: A Key Business Strategy Advancing Industrial Circularity
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Remanufacturing is a key strategy in the circular economy, enabling substantial product value retention. However, inconsistent definitions across standards and legislation hinder global trade, core recovery and market acceptance. This study examines how remanufacturing is defined in laws and standards, and how these definitions impact industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global imperatives, such as climate change, environmental concerns, and carbon emissions, make green transformation an inevitability in the logistics sector. Green logistics strategy formulation is an economic choice problem, but it also turns out to be a multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) process that encompasses the triple bottom line (TBL)
