Recovery from an anomalous thruster input during a simulated docking maneuver [PDF]

An experiment was performed in the Space Station Proximity Operations Simulator at the NASA Ames Research Center. Five test subjects were instructed to perform twenty simulated remote docking maneuvers of an orbital maneuvering vehicle (OMV) to the space

Root coverage using a microsurfaced acellular dermal matrix: A retrospective case series

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) have been used for root coverage for over 25 years, yet few advancements have improved clinical outcomes or reduced complications. This case series evaluated the use of a novel microsurfaced ADM (mADM), which features a microtextured surface designed intended to promote healing and improve graft ...

Isoperimetric inequalities on slabs with applications to cubes and Gaussian slabs

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
Abstract We study isoperimetric inequalities on “slabs”, namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension‐one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case when the base is the flat torus R2/2Z2$\mathbb {R}^2 / 2 \mathbb {Z}^2$ and the standard Gaussian measure

Corporate Sustainability Transition: Methodological Analysis for a Rating Model

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces a new rating model for the evaluation of corporate sustainability, addressing the inconsistencies and divergences that characterize current ESG assessment systems. The model is hierarchically structured, comprising 99 indicators organized into 19 modules, and is designed to be adaptable by sector and firm size.

Governance for Pension Plans' Sustainable Transition: The Moderating Role of Corporate Social Identity

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pension plans may either limit their sustainability approach to commercial purposes or adopt governance practices aligned with sustainability principles, thereby strengthening their Corporate Social Identity (CSI). This paper explores the moderating role of CSI in the relationship between traditional corporate governance mechanisms and pension

Applying Machine Learning Methods to Laser Acceleration of Protons: Synthetic Data for Exploring the High Repetition Rate Regime

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in ultra‐intense laser technology have increased repetition rates and average power for chirped‐pulse laser systems, which offer a promising solution for many applications including energetic proton sources. An important challenge is the need to optimize and control the proton source by varying some of the many degrees of freedom ...

Instability mechanism and failure characteristics of underground cavern in block system under the action of seismic waves

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Seismic waves with tensile stress, high amplitude, and low frequency are most likely to trigger block instability and sliding. Blocks with a single sliding surface are more prone to movement than those with multiple constraints, and roof‐positioned blocks are especially vulnerable to slide.

ECONOMICALLY OPTIMAL WILDFIRE INTERVENTION REGIMES [PDF]

Wildfires in the United States result in total damages and costs that are likely to exceed billions of dollars annually. Land managers and policy makers propose higher rates of prescribed burning and other kinds of vegetation management to reduce amounts

Long‐term benefits of burns for large mammal habitat undermined by large, severe fires in the American West

Ecography, EarlyView.
Escalating wildfire frequency and severity are altering wildland habitats worldwide. Yet investigations into fire impacts on wildlife habitat rarely extend to the macroecological scales relevant to species conservation and global change processes. We evaluate the effects of wildfire on habitat quality and selection by large mammals spanning three ...
