Impact of Packaging and Recycling Systems on Material Recirculation: A Stage‐Decomposition Model
Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.A system‐level view emerges from decomposing recycling into four stages (participation, collection, sorting and process yield), diagnosing constraints and targeting interventions. Cumulative equivalent uses (CEUs) quantify long‐term retention, revealing marginal improvements at high baselines generate disproportionately larger gains than low‐baseline ...

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

“There Are Places Full of Beauty”: Desettling High School Students' Scientific Writing
Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study contributes to desettling and expanding expectations about the forms of scientific language that belong in students' scientific writing. The primary empirical focus is the analysis of 52 high school student abstracts articulating community‐based investigations, submitted as part of their participation in a student conference in a ...

Sliding Doors: Frame Uptake and Rejection by Learners in a Museum‐Based Climate Learning Experience
Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Science education efforts that support public understanding of modern climate change are critically needed. However, implementing climate‐related learning experiences can be challenging, as public audiences tend to experience a wide range of understandings of and emotions around the issue. In light of these challenges, many scholars have posed

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Certain attributes of large‐scale complex systems are often expressed through sets of indicators. For example, the sustainability of an entity, be it a nation, a city, an energy system, a corporation etc., can be effectively represented by indicators and corresponding data series.
