Architected Load Paths Enable Stiffening and Motion Programming in Soft Pneumatic Actuators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A single MARS template introduces an architected reinforcement strategy for programmable soft pneumatic actuators through internal structural organization and selective beam removal. This monolithic architecture enables deformation reconfiguration from continuous bending to joint‐like articulation and torsional motion, allowing one compliant platform ...

Wind tunnel experiments: cold-air pooling and atmospheric decoupling above a melting snow patch [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2016
The longevity of perennial snowfields is not fully understood, but it is known that strong atmospheric stability and thus boundary-layer decoupling limit the amount of (sensible and latent) heat that can be transmitted from the atmosphere to the snow ...

Effectiveness of the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index (PRF‐RI) Program: Interval Selections With Uniform Premium Subsidy Rates

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines interval selection in the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index (PRF‐RI) program and evaluates how uniform premium subsidy rates affect optimal interval selections. Using South Dakota as a case study, we show a trend of increasing selection of nonproduction intervals from 2013 to 2024, raising concerns about program

Living Snow Fences; TR-460, 2006 [PDF]

, 2006
Blowing snow can cause significant problems for mobility and safety during winter weather in three distinct ways. It may drift onto the road, thus requiring almost continuous plowing while the wind is blowing (which may occur when a given winter storm is

Evaluation of snow cover and depth simulated by a land-surface model using detailed regional snow observations from Austria [PDF]

, 2010
An evaluation is undertaken of the accuracy with which the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) can simulate snow cover and depth when driven using data from the Hadley Centre Regional Climate Model.

Behaviorally Adaptive and Inclusive Advanced Driver‐Assistance Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Advanced driver‐assistance systems (ADASs) are mapped as evolving human‐centered, adaptive technologies linking sensing, driver monitoring, AR/HUD interfaces, patents, regulation, and inclusive design. The review identifies gaps in real‐world evidence, diverse‐driver validation, gaze metrics, and governance, outlining a roadmap for safer, behaviorally ...
