Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

An unexplained tsunami: Was there megathrust slip during the 2020 Mw7.6 Sand Point, Alaska, earthquake?

Seismica
On October 19, 2020, the Mw7.6 Sand Point earthquake struck south of the Shumagin Islands in Alaska. Moment tensors indicate the earthquake was primarily strike-slip, yet the event produced an enigmatic tsunami that was larger and more widespread than ...

Don't Worry About Her; Intersectionality, and the Role of Systems and Structures in the Embodied Experiences of Young Women's Use of Violence

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systems and structures designed to protect and support young people, specifically (in this paper) young women, are ironically the same systems that maintain gender disparity. Consequently, this has influenced the embodied identities of young women who experience and use violence. Such systemic and structural intersectionality has impacted upon

On the Prospects for African Philosophy in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper grapples with the situation of people of African descent in Australia by working through the constitution of the body of academic philosophy in the country. It contends with the parochialism of the Australian philosophical community and the prospects for the cultivation of greater pluralism. Taking African philosophy as one possible

Main controlling factors on oblique extensional deformations in multiphase rift basins: insights from analogue experiments

Shiyou shiyan dizhi
In order to investigate the influence of pre-existing faults and their angle (α) with different extension directions on oblique extension deformation and sag structure in multiphase rift basins, three sets of analogue experiments were designed based on ...

Extensional orogenic collapse captured by strike-slip tectonics: [PDF]

, 2016
The late Paleozoic collision between Gondwana and Laurussia resulted in the polyphase deformation and magmatism that characterizes the Iberian Massif of the Variscan orogen.

Focal mechanisms in the southeastern South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand indicate scale-dependent partitioning of transpressional strain

Seismica
The classic Andersonian model of faulting is difficult to apply to plate boundaries with oblique motion, as displacement is accommodated across oblique-slip faults, or it is partitioned into distinct strike-slip and dip-slip faults. Here, we investigate

Arrhenius Activation Energy on Viscous and Radiative Heating of Hybridized Chemical Reactive Magnetized‐Casson Nanofluid Flow in Saturated Porous Media With Varied Heat Source/Sink

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the influence of Arrhenius activation energy on the chemically reactive, magnetohydrodynamic Casson hybrid nanofluid flow past an exponentially stretching surface embedded in a Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium with a non‐uniform heat source/sink.

ANN‐Enabled Analysis of Nanoparticle Aggregation and Hall Effects on Ag‐H2O Nanofluid Flow Over a Spinning Disk With Convective Heating and Thermal Radiation

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exceptional characteristics of nanofluids have turned out to be a significant development in revolutionizing heat transfer mechanisms in several electronic cooling devices and industrial manufacturing processes. The present study deals with the investigation of the second law of thermodynamics applied to the steady MHD fluid flow above a ...
