Ejecta‐Modulated Bubble Dynamics Play a Dominant Role in Stone Retropulsion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Stone motion during laser ablation is shown to result primarily from asymmetric cavitation bubble collapse, not from ejecta recoil. This challenges long‐standing assumptions and highlights the dominant role of bubble dynamics in laser–material interactions.

Fire management strategies to maintain species population processes in a fragmented landscape of fire-interval extremes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Changed fire regimes have led to declines of fire-regime- adapted species and loss of biodiversity globally. Fire affects population processes of growth, reproduction, and dispersal in different ways, but there is little guidance about the best fire ...

Artificial Intelligence in Autonomous Mobile Robot Navigation: From Classical Approaches to Intelligent Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping autonomous mobile robot navigation beyond classical pipelines. This review analyzes how AI techniques are integrated into core navigation tasks, including path planning and control, localization and mapping, perception, and context‐aware decision‐making. Learning‐based, probabilistic, and soft‐computing methods

Prescribed Fire in Industrial Pine Plantations [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Industrial plantations of non-indigenous tree species (exotics) can be defined as even-aged stands established outside of their natural habitat. These plantations play a vital economic role in the developing countries of the tropics and subtropics. The ecological benefits of afforestation, however, go far beyond local and regional considerations: the ...

Activation‐Integrated and Memory‐Assisted Dynamic‐Latch Quantizer for Variation‐Tolerant and Low‐Energy Neuromorphic Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A memory‐assisted dynamic‐latch ADC integrating charge‐trap flash enables ultra‐low‐energy quantization and in‐ADC nonlinear activation for variation‐tolerant neuromorphic computing. Analog‐to‐digital converters (ADCs) remain the dominant area/energy bottleneck in neuromorphic computing (NC) systems.

Predicting Post-Fire Change in West Virginia, USA from Remotely-Sensed Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Prescribed burning is used in West Virginia, USA to return the important disturbance process of fire to oak and oak-pine forests. Species composition and structure are often the main goals for re-establishing fire with less emphasis on fuel reduction or

‘Turkeys Cannot Vote for Christmas’: Why Epistemic Disobedience in an Anti‐Black World Matters

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Never in the history of global coloniality has the idea of epistemic disobedience been as important as in the 21st century. This is not only because the struggle for decolonisation has shifted from physical confrontation between the coloniser and the colonised into a battle of ideas but also because the former has deployed the idea of ...

Prescribed Fire Smoke: A Review of Composition, Measurement Methods, and Analysis

open access: yesFire
Prescribed fire has become an increasingly important strategy for removing biomass from forests and mitigating the risk of severe wildfire. When considering where and to what extent prescribed fire should be applied, land resource managers must consider ...
