Wind Turbine Blade Crack Detection and Assessment in Images Using Machine Learning
ABSTRACT As the wind energy industry matures, inspection of wind turbine blades (WTBs) is shifting from a manual process involving rope access and grading of damage, towards unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photography and artificial intelligence‐aided processing of data.

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

Satellite‐Based Fishing Fleet Tracking: A New Foundation for Fisheries Science and Management
ABSTRACT Satellite‐based vessel‐tracking technologies have ushered in a new era for monitoring fishing activity at scale. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) methods with remotely‐sensed data, researchers can now detect, classify and analyse fishing behaviour across vast and previously unobservable ocean regions.

Organizational Soundscapes and the Sonicity of Voices: The Power of the ‘Sounds’ that Carry ‘Words’
Abstract Organizations are soundscapes – they resonate with sounds and particularly the sounds of voices. Somehow however voice sonics, that is the sounds of voices and not the words carried on those sounds, have escaped attention in management studies. This absence of analysis is peculiar given voice sonics' undoubted influence on management (they may

From Competition to Compartmentalization: Rethinking Türkiye‐Gulf Relations
Abstract For nearly a decade following the Arab uprisings, relations between Ankara and key Gulf capitals were marked by intense rivalry and proxy contestation across several regional arenas, notably in Egypt and Syria. Why did relations shift toward pragmatic cooperation after such prolonged polarization?

Design and Development of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle
The project addresses the urgent challenge of plastic pollution in confined water bodies through the development of a specialized Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) for efficient debris collection. Employing a catamaran-inspired design featuring PVC hulls and a modular debris collection system, the USV combines buoyancy with effective debris capture ...

The Türkiye‐Qatar Partnership: From Ottoman Roots to Strategic Alliance
Abstract As Qatar, a small country in a strategic location, faced a pressure campaign from Gulf states in 2017, Türkiye expanded its military presence and provided support that proved crucial to Doha's ability to overcome the crisis. This demonstrated Türkiye's new grand strategy, its capacity to project influence into the Gulf, and its status as a ...

A Deep‐Learning‐Based Wind Gust Estimation Scheme in Complex Terrain
Abstract Accurate prediction of gusts is critical for risk mitigation, but the turbulent processes that generate gusts are unresolved in conventional numerical weather prediction models. Here we introduce a deep‐learning‐based wind gust estimation scheme (DL‐GUST) that uses archived diagnostics from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model ...
