Electrochemical Monitoring of Steel Corrosion in NS4 Solution Under Cathodic Protection Environment: Insights of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) monitored corrosion on mild steel under cathodic protection in soil‐like conditions. CP reduced corrosion from 410 to 7 µm/yr, shifting the mechanism from mixed activation–diffusion to activation‐controlled, enabling protective calcareous and oxide film formation.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Efficient and secure multi-party computation protocol supporting deep learning

Cybersecurity
Privacy-preserving deep learning based on secure multi-party computation (MPC) has emerged as a critical research focus in recent years. While existing approaches predominantly employ additive secret sharing with a fixed number of parties, they have yet ...

The (n, n) Visual Multi-Secrets Sharing Scheme with Abilities of OR and XOR Decryption

Engineering Proceedings
Naor and Shamir introduced the fundamental concept of visual cryptography (VC) in 1994. In that model, the secret image is split into two meaningless shares, allowing the secret to be revealed and recognized by the human eye just by superimposing the two

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full
