Botanic and heritage gardens as living laboratories in the age of the polycrisis
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Societal Impact Statement Cities face intertwined crises of climate, biodiversity loss and social disconnection. We show how botanic and heritage gardens can help address these challenges as living laboratories to generate place‐based evidence and public engagement.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The fifth industrial revolution (I5.0), which is based on the utilization of interconnected data for efficient resource usage in meeting human requirements, proposes efficient solutions to resource constraint situations. However, the transition to I5.0 in the health sector is not easy and has to face several obstacles.
