Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...

Enhancing generalized spectral clustering with embedding Laplacian graph regularization

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract An enhanced generalised spectral clustering framework that addresses the limitations of existing methods by incorporating the Laplacian graph and group effect into a regularisation term is presented. By doing so, the framework significantly enhances discrimination power and proves highly effective in handling noisy data.

Distributed Formation Control for Heterogeneous Robot Systems Based on Competitive Mechanism

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an adaptive formation control method for a heterogeneous robot swarm, utilising a multilevel formation task tree to model various types of formation tasks and a single‐state distributed k‐winner‐take‐all (S‐DKWTA) algorithm to address the MRTA problem.

Mesh‐Based Charge Simulation Method and Its Applications to Electrostatic Electric Field Computation

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The charge simulation method (CSM) is a well‐established numerical technique employed in electrostatic field calculations, primarily due to its simplicity and computational efficiency. However, conventional CSM face challenges when applied to complex geometries, as they necessitate meticulous manual placement of simulation charges and matching

Should you use data integration for your distribution model?

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This paper explores cases where data integration (the joint modelling of two or more observational datasets) is useful for species distribution models, and also highlights cases where it's actually not useful. This provides the first concrete guidance for deciding whether or not data integration is worth your time.

The degree of cooperativism in Europe: Towards an evaluation model for cooperative banking

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Democracy, social commitment and proximity are fundamental values of cooperative‐based financial institutions. The degree of cooperativism of an entity (or, by extension, of a territorial area or country) can be associated with the intensity with which the entity promotes the inherent values of cooperatives.

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Joint Spatiotemporal Models for the Estimation of Prey Consumption and Predator–Prey Overlap: Dynamics of Pacific Cod Predation on Snow and Tanner Crab in the Eastern Bering Sea

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) are important predators of juvenile snow (Chionoecetes opilio) and Tanner crab (Chionoecetes bairdi) in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS), yet the relationship between cod–crab spatial overlap and total crab consumption is only partially understood.
