A Simple and Affordable Footwear‐Integrated Near‐Miss Slip Sensor for Detecting Latent Slip Risk During Gait

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A simple, affordable near‐miss slip sensor mounted on the shoe sole detects floor slipperiness during walking on oily and normal floors. Its two‐stage structure houses two single‐axis force sensors, and their peak‐output ratio—the central pressure response normalized by the load‐reference signal—classifies the two floor types (p < 0.01).

Wind erosion modelling in a Sahelian environment

, 2005
In the Sahel field observations of wind-blown mass transport often show considerable spatial variation related to the spatial variation of the wind erosion controlling parameters, e.g. soil crust and vegetation cover.

Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

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 ...

Homogeneous PHB–SF Electrospun Scaffolds as an Alternative to Synthetic Mesh for Stress Urinary Incontinence

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Homogeneous polyhydroxybutyrate–silk fibroin electrospun scaffolds combine the favorable biological activity of silk fibroin with the mechanical strength of polyhydroxybutyrate. The resulting fibers support fibroblast attachment and organized extracellular matrix formation while providing tunable, tissue‐relevant mechanics, demonstrating a promising ...

Hybrid Inertial–Centrifugal Gas–Liquid Separator: CFD‐Driven Optimization Using Coupled Discrete Phase and Wall‐Film Modeling With Response Surface Methodology

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient removal of liquid aerosols from compressed gas streams is essential in chemical and energy processes. Conventional separators relying on a single mechanism (inertial or centrifugal) struggle to capture both fine and coarse droplets simultaneously.
