On an Aggregation Theory for Indicators Expressing Behaviors of Complex Systems With an Application to Sustainability

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.

Key Technical Fields and Future Outlooks of Space Manipulators: A Survey

SmartBot, EarlyView.
This paper systematically reviews the technological development of space manipulators, emphasizing the unique challenges posed by space environments. It examines four areas: structural design, modeling, planning, and control, while introducing typical ground test platforms.

Quantum State‐Resolved Photodissociation Dynamics Study of Transition‐Metal Carbonyl and Nitrosyl

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
State‐resolved scattering measurements provide experimental visualization of nuclear motions in reacting molecules. Carbonyls and nitrosyls are typical ligands in most of the transition‐metal complexes, which undergo dissociation upon visible and ultraviolet photoexcitation.

Enhancing generalized spectral clustering with embedding Laplacian graph regularization

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract An enhanced generalised spectral clustering framework that addresses the limitations of existing methods by incorporating the Laplacian graph and group effect into a regularisation term is presented. By doing so, the framework significantly enhances discrimination power and proves highly effective in handling noisy data.

An Improved Fast Computational Method for Vibration Characteristic Analysis of Dry‐Type Iron Core Reactor

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structural mechanics field simulation plays a critical role in the vibration characteristic analysis of electrical equipment. Existing structural field analysis of equipment based on numerical simulation faces challenges such as convergence difficulties and prolonged computational time, failing to meet the demand for real‐time prediction of ...

Development of ± 550 kV DC GIS Basin Insulator

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The basin insulator is a core component of the insulation system for ± 550 kV gas‐insulated switchgear (GIS). This paper, using a finite element method for multi‐physics simulations of electric–thermal coupling, determines a geometry suitable for the industrial production of ± 550 kV GIS basin insulators.

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

Confidence intervals for extinction risk: Validating population viability analysis with limited data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The assessment of extinction risk remains a key component of IUCN and CITES evaluations. However, it has been argued that, under realistic data limitations, confidence intervals (CIs) for extinction probability often span the entire 0–1 range, rendering such assessments meaningless.

Discriminant validity and interrelations of conceptual and procedural knowledge in fractions and algebra: Evidence from confirmatory factor analysis

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Conceptual and procedural knowledge are two distinct types of mathematical knowledge. Measuring them with sufficient discriminant validity is challenging because they are typically highly correlated. Prior studies have demonstrated discriminant validity of paper‐and‐pencil measures separately for fractions and algebra.

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.
