An Active Knee–Ankle–Foot Orthosis With Torque‐Dense, Low‐Impedance Knee Actuation
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article presents the simulation, design, and clinical validation of a robotic active KAFO with torque‐sensitive actuation. By passively and continuously adapting the transmission ratio in response to the knee torque, the torque‐sensitive actuator overcomes the tradeoff between torque, weight, and impedance observed in conventional robot actuators,

CTRL–T (Calculation of Thresholds for Rainfall-induced Landslides–Tool)
, 2018 The CTRL-T algorithm exploits continuous rainfall measurements, and landslide information, to (1) reconstruct rainfall events; (2) select automatically the representative rain gauges; (3) identifies multiple rainfall conditions responsible for the ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

A General Formulation to Describe Empirical Rainfall Thresholds for Landslides
Procedia Earth and Planetary Science, 2016 AbstractIn this paper, a brief description of the Generalized FLaIR Model (GFM, De Luca and Versace, 2016) is provided, that is able to reproduce all the empirical thresholds proposed in literature, aimed to forecast landslides triggered by rainfall. In particular, this paper focuses on Antecedent Precipitation (AP) schemes. The paper demonstrates that

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...
