Evaluating the suitability of vegetation natural regeneration in the Yellow River Basin based on a coupled PLUS and Monte-Carlo simulation model

Global Ecology and Conservation
Vegetation natural regeneration (VNR) constitutes a prioritized pathway for ecological restoration, yet its spatial implementation is often impeded by landscape-scale stochasticity and environmental heterogeneity.

Churned on the Farm, Valued by Customers: Southeast U.S. Consumers' Willingness‐to‐Pay for Farmstead Ice Cream

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Consumer demand for value‐added dairy products has grown substantially, yet consumer preferences for origin information (including farmstead) on ice cream remain underexplored. We used a stated preferences choice experiment to elicit consumers' willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) for ice cream across nine states in the Southeastern U.S.

Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Network Pharmacology: A Methodological Paradigm Shift Bridging Traditional Wisdom and Modern Science

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence is redefining network pharmacology (NP). By integrating knowledge graph engineering, geometric deep learning, multiomics anchoring, and generative reasoning, AI‐driven NP (AI‐NP) transforms static target mapping into dynamic, predictive modeling.

Stochastic Locomotion Emerging From Body–Environment Interactions in a Mexican Jumping Bean–Inspired Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

The nature of natural: defining natural character for the New Zealand context [PDF]

, 2010
New Zealand has a long-standing statutory policy goal to preserve the natural character of the coastal environment and various freshwater environments and their margins. In the absence of an authoritative definition, it has not been possible to develop a

Designing Wire Mazes for Replicating Natural Echoes to Study Bat Biosonar Function

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A validated framework combining efficient physical modeling (multiple scattering model) and deep learning is presented to guide wire‐maze design for bat biosonar studies. This approach rapidly generates large datasets to test acoustic distinguishability among wire arrangements.
