Towards Advanced Intelligent and Perceptive Soft Grippers

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Implementing soft yet strong and intelligent soft grippers request innovative and creative solutions in designing soft bodies and seamlessly integrating actuated systems with hierarchical sensing. This review systematically analyses soft grippers with a deep understanding of core components, from fundamental design principles to actuation and sensing ...

Long-Term Bearing Capacity of Concrete Pile Composite Foundation under Composite Salt Erosion

open access: yesBuildings
In order to study the long-term bearing capacity of concrete pile composite foundation in the Salt Lake area, based on the Tehran Isfahan high-speed railway project in Iran, the full (semi) immersion drying test and rapid freeze-thaw test was carried out,

Mechanical Performance of Settlement-Reducing Pile Foundation with Cushion

open access: yes, 2011
The main objective of adding piles to a raft is sometimes for settlement control. In design, the number of piles for reduce settlements under work load to a tolerable limit is usually small.

Talk to Your Data: An Agentic Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Decision‐Support Framework for Prosumer Energy Optimization and Recommendations

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An agentic AI‐driven decision‐support framework for prosumers is proposed, integrating PV generation, load profiling, and multihorizon optimization within a four‐agent architecture. The approach significantly reduces grid dependence, enhances self‐sufficiency and prevents system oversizing.

Soil Fragmentation and Friability. Effects of Soil Water and Soil Management

open access: yes, 2002
Soil fragmentation is a primary aim in most tillage operations in order to create a soil environment favourable for crop establishment and growth. Soils vary around the world from those exhibiting a self-mulching nature to those of a hardsetting nature ...

Model Test Research on Bearing Behavior of Pile-Net Composite Foundation in Super Large Area and Deep Soft Soil

open access: yes, 2011
Based on the treatment of in-situ foundation, two distinct model tests for pile-net composite foundation in super large area and deep soft soil with different pile spacing were designed to study the bearing behavior of the piles.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Choice experiments on land managers' participation in environmental programs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of estimate validity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...

A modified Geddes's solution for foundation additional stress induced by X-section pile

open access: yes, 2013
As a new cross-sectional shaped pile, the stress distribution in soil induced by the side friction (SF) and the end bearing (EB) of X-section cast-in-place concrete (XCC) pile has not been studied completely.
