Tendon‐Driven Compliant Wheel‐Less Snake Robot for Undulatory Locomotion Using Conformable Ground Contacts

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a tendon‐driven compliant snake robot that uses globally applied vertical bending and axial twisting along its body to enable various gaits. Body deflection from compliance and weight passively generates the ground contact patterns required for locomotion.

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 ...

Circular Design Strategies Unleashed: Competitiveness and the Journey Towards Circular Manufacturing Businesses

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a circular economy (CE) remains hindered by the lack of practical strategies that simultaneously secure competitiveness and deliver sustainability outcomes for manufacturing organisations. While circular design is often cited as a cornerstone of CE, its concrete role in driving competitive advantage and organisational ...

Whole tissue imaging of cellular boundaries at sub‐micron resolutions for deep learning cell segmentation: Applications in the analysis of epithelial bending of ectoderm

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To understand cellular morphology, biologists have relied on traditional optical microscopy of tissues combined with tissue clearing protocols to image structures deep within tissues. Unfortunately, these protocols often struggle to retain cell boundary markers, especially at high enough resolutions necessary for precise cell ...

Oogenesis and germinal bed morphology of the brown anole (A. sagrei)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The brown anole is a model species of the genus Anolis, a squamate (encompassing lizards and snakes) group widely studied in evolutionary, behavioral, and developmental biology. Full genome annotation, the establishment of gene editing techniques, and comprehensive description of reproductive tract morphology and embryogenesis in ...

Harnessing deep learning to quantify microstructural complexity in confocal images of plant protein gels

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding plant protein gel microstructure is key to designing functional food systems. This study introduces a deep learning framework using a U‐Net model with a ResNet34 encoder to segment and quantify confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images of plant protein gels.

Beyond the Metrics: Context‐Aware Calibration for Better Drain Flow Modelling

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robust hydrological and water quality modelling is essential for advancing the understanding and management of engineered agricultural subsurface drainage systems. Achieving credible model output hinges on calibration strategies that are both rigorous and context sensitive. At the field scale, accurately capturing the dynamics of nutrient load

Process improvement and automation in construction: Opposing or complementing approaches? [PDF]

It is widely recognized that there must be wide-ranging changes in construction before automation can be implemented in practice. On the other hand, the innovation rate of construction is rather low, and thus it is unclear, how the steps necessary for ...

Quantitative Comparison of Multi‐Echo Spin Echo and Multi‐Echo Gradient Echo Myelin Water Imaging in a Panel of Mbp Enhancer‐Edited Mouse Lines

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the correspondence between myelin water fraction (MWF) estimates derived from multi‐echo spin echo (MESE) and multi‐echo gradient echo (MGRE) imaging in fixed mouse brain tissue, using a panel of myelin basic protein (Mbp) enhancer‐edited mouse lines exhibiting graded hypomyelination.

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into colorectal cancer reporting

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) are transforming cancer research and clinical care, with histopathology playing a central role in this transformation. In colorectal cancer (CRC), the second leading cause of cancer mortality world‐wide, multimodal and vision‐language models (VLMs) hold particular promise for enhancing the ...
