Radiative Thermal Management for Extreme Environments: Mechanisms and Design Strategies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss the fundamental mechanisms of radiative cooling and solar heating, material and structural design strategies, hybrid approaches integrating additional heat transfer pathways, and durability‐oriented designs addressing environmental stresses.

Sampling Disturbance Effects in Reconstituted Coastal Soils

Soils and Foundations, 2000
ABSTRACT The effects of tube sampling disturbances on undrained shear properties of reconstituted samples of coastal soils were investigated. The values of undrained shear strength (su), initial tangent modulus (Ei) and secant modulus (E50) were reduced while axial strain at peak deviator stress (ɛp) increased because of disturbance caused by the ...

Near‐Infrared Imaging of H2O2 in Plants With Nanosensors Under Environmentally Changing Conditions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This paper reports a ratiometric nanosensor enabling robust, multivariate detection of stress signals (H2O2) in plants, with high resistance to light fluctuations and mechanical disturbances. Single‐walled carbon nanotubes serve as the sensor, Egyptian Blue nanosheets serve as a stable reference, and plant autofluorescence serves as a label‐free ...

Methods for evaluating sample disturbance of deep clayey soil in Shanghai

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
To accurately understand the in situ mechanical properties of soils, it is necessary to evaluate the degree of sample disturbance. The existing sample disturbance evaluation methods mostly focus on shallow soils, while the counterpart for deep clayey ...

Estimates of Conservation Tillage Practices Using Landsat Archive

Remote Sensing, 2020
The USDA Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) provides financial assistance to encourage producers to adopt conservation practices. Historically, one of the most common practices is conservation tillage, primarily the use of no-till planting ...

The relative effectiveness of different grassland restoration methods: A systematic literature search and meta‐analysis

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
Active grassland restoration has gained importance in mitigating the dramatic decline of farmnland biodiversity. While there is evidence that such operations are generally effective in promoting plant diversity, little is known about the effectiveness of

Cortinarius and Tomentella Fungi Become Dominant Taxa in Taiga Soil after Fire Disturbance

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Fungi have important ecological functions in the soil of forests, where they decompose organic matter, provide plants with nutrients, increase plant water uptake, and improve plant resistance to adversity, disease, and disturbance. A forest fire presents

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Pocket gopher (Thomomys talpoides) soil disturbance peaks at mid-elevation and is associated with air temperature, forb cover, and plant diversity

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2018
Burrowing mammals can be ecosystem engineers by increasing soil aeration and erosion and altering the structure of plant communities. Studies that characterize the constraints on the distributions of fossorial mammal disturbances to soil can help predict
