The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa
Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

PI Gain Scheduling and Stall Margin Protection for a JT9D Turbofan Engine Using T-MATS
The objective of this study was to understand the theory behind turbofan electronic engine controllers (EECs) and to develop a Simulink based controller with stall margin limits, which was then used to build a simple 1-D cruise controller for a Boeing ...

Systemic bio‐inequity links poverty to biodiversity and induces a conservation paradox
Abstract Biodiversity is declining globally while inequity is growing, and poverty rates are not improving. Global sustainable development and conservation initiatives aim to address biodiversity loss and poverty simultaneously. Through text analysis of global biodiversity policies, we identified a consistent narrative that countries with high ...

Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration
Brazil has tens of millions of hectares of degraded land that must be restored to meet national and global biodiversity and climate goals. Sowing genetically diverse native seeds is key to restoring degraded lands to climate‐resilient landscapes, but we still lack guidance on how to effectively match seed sources to restoration sites across broad ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey
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 ...
