Envisioning human–nature relationships in the Wadden: An embodied, arts‐based approach for exploring relational, more‐than‐human futures

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Dominant approaches to imagining futures are often anthropocentric, emphasising socio‐technical change without fully accounting for human–nature relationships. Yet sustainability transformations demand approaches to imagining alternative, desirable futures that centre respectful and reciprocal human–nature relationships and reveal the ...

Method for the Determination of Dynamic Domains in Proteins From Structural Pairs and Conformational Ensembles

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A straightforward method for the determination of dynamic domains from pairs of conformations or general conformational ensembles of proteins is presented. The method applies metric multi‐dimensional scaling (MDS) to distance‐differences or root‐mean square‐fluctuations of inter‐atomic distances (RMSFIDs).

Incorporating vehicle mix in stimulus-response car-following models

Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2016
The objective of this paper is to incorporate vehicle mix in stimulus-response car-following models. Separate models were estimated for acceleration and deceleration responses to account for vehicle mix via both movement state and vehicle type.

Formation Control With Obstacle Avoidance of Underwater Swarms Based on Relative Visual Feedback

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Underwater multi‐robot and swarm systems require advanced methodologies for controlling collective behavior. Conventional single‐robot techniques, such as tethering, sonar imaging, and acoustic localization, are not scalable or effective for swarm applications.

Collateralization of the Body in the Central Sahara: On Forms and Effects

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article tracks a transporter along the route linking Tripoli to the Saharan town of Ghadames in post‐2011 Libya, asking what secures an obligation when the institutions that normally underwrite it (offices, courts, recognized names) have receded. I distinguish the debt, the sum owed, from the security pledged to answer for it: what may be

Autonomous Vehicles and Vertical Road Design: A Parametric Assessment of Stopping Sight Distance and Vertical Curve Lengths

CivilEng
Traditional road geometric design is based on assumptions regarding human perception and reaction, which directly influences Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) and the associated design parameters of vertical curves. Under a future scenario of full autonomous

Intelligent Continuum Micromachines in Complex Confined Spaces

SmartBot, EarlyView.
The cover depicts a conceptual design for an intelligent continuum micromachine entering a target capsule used in fusion‐energy research through its slender gas‐fill tube. By combining route‐adaptive deformation, embedded sensing, and a functional end effector, the robot could inspect hidden defects, assess local conditions, and support localized ...

Looking for Trouble: Pre‐Intervention Monitoring in Human and AI Driver Training

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
We compare two types of situations involving monitoring of car driving: a driving instructor overseeing a trainee driver and a safety driver overseeing the performance of autonomous vehicle (AV) software. Our focus is on instances of monitoring that precede (1) interventions that are aborted before impacting the driving and (2) actual interventions on ...

APPROACH FOR DEFINING THE LIMIT VALUE OF THE STOPPING SIGHT DISTANCE ON THE ROADS IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA

Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering
The most of the existing road network in the Republic of North Macedonia consists of sections that in the past were designed to provide the most durable and permanent engineering solutions of the carriageway, with minimal commitment to the road geometry.

When Time Stands Still: The Destructive Experience of Ambiguous Loss among Mothers of Combat Soldiers

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
What happens when stories refuse coherence? This article examines ambiguous loss among mothers of combat soldiers, focusing on how prolonged waiting and uncertainty infiltrate everyday life, eroding sensemaking. Drawing on ethnographic interviews, it explores how mothers experience the contraction of time and space—manifested in suspended routines ...
