Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

A Semi-Empirical State of Health Estimation Method for Batteries of Electric Vehicles Operating in Varying Real-World Conditions

IEEE Access
Present research on battery State of Health (SoH) estimation is mainly focusing on constant conditions, solely cycling conditions or solely storage conditions, whereas few attempts have been made for varying real-world conditions.

Toward Specification-Guided Active Mars Exploration for Cooperative Robot Teams [PDF]

, 2018
As a step towards achieving autonomy in space exploration missions, we consider a cooperative robotics system consisting of a copter and a rover. The goal of the copter is to explore an unknown environment so as to maximize knowledge about a science ...

Improved Direct Ink Writing of Liquid Metal Foams via Liquid Additives

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The ability to pattern liquid metal is useful for making soft electrical and thermal devices. Dispensing liquid metal from a nozzle naturally results in the formation of spheroidal droplets, making direct‐write printing challenging. Liquid metal foams containing pockets of air can extrude as filaments, albeit inconsistently.

Is Precision Agriculture Technology Adoption Persistently Overestimated?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Precision agriculture is sometimes assumed to diffuse steadily over time, and industry planning frequently extrapolates early adoption trends forward. This study evaluates the accuracy of such expectations by comparing agricultural input dealers' forecasts of future service offerings with the actual levels of offerings that dealerships ...

A conceptual design and operational characteristics for a Mars rover for a 1979 or 1981 Viking science mission [PDF]

The feasibility of a small Mars rover for use on a 1979 or 1981 Viking mission was studied and a preliminary design concept was developed. Three variations of the concept were developed to provide comparisons in mobility and science capability of the ...

Solid–liquid equilibria in the LiOH–ethanol–water system: Solubility measurements and thermodynamic modeling

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The demand for LiOH is driven by the growth of the electric vehicle industry. Evaporative crystallization of LiOH·H2O is energy intensive, whereas ethanol‐based antisolvent crystallization has emerged as a more sustainable alternative. From a process design perspective, the crystallization yield depends on the ethanol dosage, and thermodynamic

Artificial Intelligence in Autonomous Mobile Robot Navigation: From Classical Approaches to Intelligent Adaptation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping autonomous mobile robot navigation beyond classical pipelines. This review analyzes how AI techniques are integrated into core navigation tasks, including path planning and control, localization and mapping, perception, and context‐aware decision‐making. Learning‐based, probabilistic, and soft‐computing methods
