Thinking with trees: Responding to sympoietic plant relations through visual art

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Amid escalating climate crises, this paper explores how we might rethink our relationship with the natural world, particularly with plants and trees, through the perspectives of visual art. This paper reveals how art invites us to see trees and other plant life not as passive background scenery, but as living beings with their own forms of experience ...

Comparison of two numerical weather prediction models in simulating south foehn in the Alpine Rhine Valley

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
ICON outperforms COSMO in simulating a south foehn event in the Alpine Rhine Valley, with improved accuracy in temperature, wind speed, and foehn timing. This enhanced performance likely results from a more accurate representation of surface energy balance and gravity wave pattern on the lee side of the mountain.

A Robust Self‐Starting Bayesian Approach for Multivariate Phase II Monitoring

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional multivariate control charts require in‐control (IC) parameter estimates to be known or estimated from a large set of uncontaminated, historical Phase I observations. However, some processes need to be monitored when little Phase I data are available, and self‐starting approaches, including Bayesian methods, have proven useful. Self‐

Agrivoltaic Lettuce Production Under Future Climates: A Sustainable Strategy for Optimizing Food and Energy Yields

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food system resilience is increasingly challenged by climate change and global trade volatility, even in high‐income nations like Canada. Agrivoltaics—co‐locating crops and photovoltaics (PV)–offers a sustainable production strategy to optimize land use and address both food and energy security.

Microrobots: Two Decades of Progress

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Microrobots are governed by counterintuitive viscous‐dominated microscale physics, making traditional large‐scale driving principles unapplicable and restricting their reliable in‐body locomotion implementation. Multiple propulsion schemes and advanced microfabrication techniques have been developed to bypass such physical limitations and enrich ...

Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.
