‘You shall not pass!’—frequent hikers' acceptance of access restrictions in overcrowded Italian Mountains

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Outdoor recreation is reported to have many positive effects on individuals and communities. However, when recreationists' presence becomes overcrowding, it can cause ecological damage to natural sites while also reducing the benefits of outdoor recreation for recreationists and local communities.

Assessing the role of urban blue space in summer outdoor thermal regulation in northwestern Europe: A hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting modelling on idealized urban landscape

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Using hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting simulations, we examine how urban blue spaces mitigate extreme summer heat in northwestern European cities through neighbourhood‐scale cooling mechanisms. Results show horizontal advection dominates cooling by mixing cooler air from waterbodies with warmer urban air, providing ∼50W·m−2$$ \sim 50\kern0 ...

Sonified Signals From a Compact FT‐ICR Instrument: A Feasibility Study. I—Data Mapping to an Equal‐Tempered Chromatic Scale

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale Ions trapped within a Penning cell (ICR) travel periodic orbits whose frequencies are dependent on their mass‐to‐charge ratio and the value of the magnetic field passing through the trap. Fourier transformation (FT‐ICR) decomposes the signal induced in the detection circuit by the rotation of the ions in the cell after the ...

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a

Real‐Time Terrain Traversability Analysis and Mapping for Autonomous Robotics in Dynamic Environments: Fusing Appearance‐ and Geometry‐Based Approaches

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents advanced methodologies for real‐time terrain analysis and mapping in autonomous robotic systems. The focus is on appearance‐based terrain traversability analysis and geometric‐based terrain traceability analysis. In the appearance‐based approach, an enhanced segmentation model using pixel‐based augmentation and 13 unique ...

Terrain Classification for Planetary Rovers Using Wireless In‐Wheel Sensor Modules and Machine Learning

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Safe and reliable mobility over different kinds of ground is important for planetary rovers on space missions. Since terrain changes might affect the mobility of the rover, energy consumption, and safety, detecting the type of ground in real‐time is vital.
