How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Progressive Damage and Impact Behavior of Carbon Fiber/Epoxy‐Aluminum 2024‐T3 CARALL Composites: Experimental Investigation and Hybrid Finite Element Modeling Approach

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Experimental evaluation and hybrid FE modeling of drop‐weight impact damage behavior in 2/1 CARALL panels: A comparison of experimental and numerical results. ABSTRACT The present work investigates the dynamic response of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Reinforced Aluminum 2024‐T3 FML with a 2/1 stacking arrangement subjected to low velocity impacts. Low

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

From settler gardens to digital naturalists: human aesthetic preferences and land use changes facilitate the biogeographical expansion of a wild plant–virus interaction

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic facilitation of wild plants based on aesthetic preferences for particular traits can change the biogeography and ecology of natural communities. We use a mixed‐methods socioecological approach to characterize the ways in which humans interact with a common, widely distributed plant and a generalist viral symbiont that induces an ...

Screening Surface Modifications to Benzene to Improve Solubility in Hydroxyl‐Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB)—A DFT Demonstration

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the advantage of computationally pre‐screening surface‐modifying material candidates, using density functional theory (DFT), to inform experimental synthesis and formulation efforts. This demonstration focuses on improving the solubility of benzene‐based materials in hydroxyl‐terminated ...

Effect of Resonant Mixer Granulation Parameters on Prill Properties

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resonant mixing is a promising processing approach to manage mixing of materials with high solids content and has shown strong performance for mixing powders and pastes in energetic materials. This has led to the exploration of the approach for granulation of primary particles into millimeter‐sized agglomerates, including for generating ...

Behavioural manipulation of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala L): Prospects for push–pull strategies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

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 ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Dynamic Testing of a Hybrid-Propellant Water-Breathing Ram Rocket in Underwater Cruise Conditions

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
High-speed submerged marine vehicles, such as torpedoes, traveling at velocities of an order of 100 m/s and above, require powerful propulsion to overcome the tremendous hydrodynamic drag.
