Digitalising biodiversity: Exploring perceptions on risks and opportunities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Digitalisation is transforming biodiversity conservation, offering new opportunities for research, governance and public engagement. Herbarium digitisation, for example, enables large‐scale access to plant data, supporting conservation, restoration and sustainable use.

Relation of Bulk‐to‐Shear Loss Factors in Viscoelastic Auxetic Metamaterials

physica status solidi (b), EarlyView.
This article examines the dynamic behavior of isotropic auxetic viscoelastic materials, highlighting how negative Poisson's ratios affect energy dissipation, damping, and the interplay between bulk and shear moduli. By extending established viscoelastic theories to the auxetic range, it defines bound limits and underscores how dynamic Poisson's ratio ...

Physics‐Informed Neural Networks for Battery Degradation Prediction Under Random Walk Operations

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the challenge of predicting the state of health (SoH) and capacity degradation in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) under highly variable conditions induced by frequent control adjustments. In environments where random walk behavior prevails due to stochastic control commands, conventional estimation methods often ...

Quantum Inspired Universal Analog Computation Based on Circuits

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
We propose an analog scheme of classical circuit for universal quantum computation. The information is encoded using correlated electrical signals, and the number of the basic computing components employed in our circuit design is consistent with the number of the quantum gate in the quantum circuit.

Loss Behavior in Supervised Learning With Entangled States

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
Entanglement in training samples supports quantum supervised learning algorithm in obtaining solutions of low generalization error. Using analytical as well as numerical methods, this work shows that the positive effect of entanglement on model after training has negative consequences for the trainability of the model itself, while showing the ...

Recursive Feasibility of Nonlinear Stochastic Model Predictive Control With Gaussian Process Dynamics

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Data‐based learning of system dynamics allows model‐based control approaches to be applied to systems with partially unknown dynamics. Gaussian process regression is a preferred approach that outputs not only the learned system model but also the variance of the model, which can be seen as a measure of uncertainty.

The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...

On the compatibility of single‐scan terrestrial LiDAR with digital photogrammetry and field inventory metrics of vegetation structure in forest and agroforestry landscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The single‐scan approach to terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and the self‐terrain‐normalized form of drone‐based digital aerial photogrammetry (DAP) offer practical options for rapid assessment of the vegetation structure in tropical landscapes.

Social Sustainability in Chemical Engineering: Concepts, Methodologies, Challenges, and Integration Strategies

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical engineering faces an increasing imperative to integrate sustainability principles beyond traditional economic and environmental considerations. The social dimension—encompassing impacts on human well‐being, equity, community health, labor practices, and ethical governance—represents a critical yet often underdeveloped pillar within ...

Blue‐Prints for Ocean Governance: Analyzing Resource Sustainability in International Blue Economic Frameworks

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Championed as a pathway for sustainable growth, the “blue economy” (BE) has garnered increasing interest in recent decades. International organizations like the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) increasingly point to marine resources and activities as a “new frontier” for economic growth ...
