Acoustic–Visual Sensor Fusion for Robot Localization in Buried Pipes

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous, untethered robots require robust localization algorithms to perform tasks such as inspection and monitoring in buried pipes. This task is challenging due to environmental constraints, such as the absence of a global positioning system underground and limited visual perception.

Mixed TiO2–SiO2 thin coatings for selective adsorption and sunlight‐powered photodegradation of cationic pollutants

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental pollution and water scarcity demand innovative purification methods. This study presents a sol‐gel approach to fabricate mixed silica–titania thin films joining photocatalytic activity with selective sorption capability. The films exhibit higher surface area, enhanced degradation of cationic and improved performance over bare titania ...

Restoring End‐to‐End Transport With QUIC on Satellite Paths

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Slow Start is a key congestion control mechanism used to assure a safe response to overload of a path across the Internet. This mechanism increases the startup time taken by the sender to reach the capacity available across the path. The benefit becomes significant on paths with a high bandwidth‐delay product.

Carbon Coating Strategies to Enhance the Performance and Stability of LiMn0.6Fe0.4PO4 in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Small, EarlyView.
Six unique carbon coating methods are applied to the synthesis of LiMn0.6Fe0.4PO4. The electrochemical performance of the synthesized LiMn0.6Fe0.4PO4 in full cells depends on the uniformity and conductivity of the carbon coating produced. Transition‐metal dissolution is effectively reduced when the carbon coating is optimized as a protective layer ...

Asymptotic r2 Enhancement in Formulation‐Optimized Lipid‐Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Assessing Glioblastoma Heterogeneity at Ultrahigh‐Field MRI

Small, EarlyView.
Lipid‐coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (LSPIONs) are developed as MRI‐visible lipid nanocarriers for glioblastoma imaging. By tuning nanoparticle size and SPION loading, their transverse relaxivity (r2) can be systematically controlled over one order of magnitude, reaching 390 mm−1 s−1 at 9.4 T.
