Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

CASP16 Protein Monomer Structure Prediction Assessment

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The assessment of monomer targets in the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction Round 16 (CASP16) underscores that the problem of single‐domain protein fold prediction is nearly solved—no target folds were incorrectly predicted across all Evaluation Units.

Validating a rapid algorithmic weed hazard ranking method

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Climatic suitability, weed‐related publication frequency and global occurrence data form (CPG) hazard scores for selected species in New Zealand plotted against weed hazard classifications from three independent assessments. Abstract Background Conventional weed risk assessments (WRAs) are time‐consuming and often constrained by species‐specific ...

Mapping Thermal Conductivity at the Atomic Scale: A Step toward the Thermal Design of Materials

open access: yesphysica status solidi (b), EarlyView.
The site‐projected thermal conductivity method resolves the local thermal conduction contribution per atom by decomposing the Green–Kubo thermal conductivity tensor under the harmonic approximation. It highlights thermally active sites and “thermal defects” within disordered or amorphous materials, enabling spatially resolved insights into atomic‐scale

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a

Solid‐state polymer electrolytes: Decoupling lithium‐ion transport from relaxation dynamics of polymer chain segments

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer electrolytes exhibiting decoupled ionic transport from polymer chain segment motion have great potentials to enable simultaneous achievement of high ionic conductivity and robust mechanical properties at room temperature. This review provides a comprehensive examination of decoupled polymer electrolytes, covering their fundamental ion transport

Applying computer vision to accelerate monitoring and analysis of bird incubation behaviors: a case study using common eider nest camera footage

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Visualization of the pipeline is divided into two primary segments: automated (i.e., the user adapts the code directly to build a custom computer vision model) and human‐in‐the‐loop (i.e., the user manually evaluates the output of the model). In step 1, raw imagery data are selected for training and testing datasets; ideally, these datasets are ...

‘Attitude Problems’: Racializing Hierarchies of Affect in Post‐Brown U.S. Science Education

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Attending to the affect of minoritized students now appears crucial to promoting just and dignity‐affirming science education. Yet, elevating affect as an objective of science learning has a history that predates equity reforms. This study explores the politics of scientific uptakes of affect that have long served to mark hierarchical ...
