Bio‐inspired vision: From principle, material architectures to system‐level integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the development and mechanism of electronic and ionic bio‐inspired vision devices respectively. Then, it explores the impact of structure on bio‐inspired visual performance from the scale of intrinsic materials and device. Finally, it concludes that only by combining advanced software and technology can more complex vision ...

Dignity's Dilemma: Categorical Objections to Autonomous Weapons and Their Pacifist Entailments

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dignity objections to autonomous weapon systems are prominent in contemporary military ethics, yet their theoretical foundations remain underexamined. This article reconstructs those foundations, showing what categorical dignity objections require to function as absolute prohibitions.

Land Degradation, Cultural Ecosystem Services, and Ecosystem Disservices in the Sumapaz Páramo, Colombia: An Integrated Socioecological Assessment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the relationships among land degradation, ecosystem functioning and human well‐being is essential for conserving tropical high‐mountain ecosystems. This study examined the relationships among land degradation, Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES), ecosystem disservices (EDS) and visitor perceptions at Laguna Colorados in the Sumapaz

Optimizing Soil Organic Matter Estimation Through Multi‐Factor Zoning and Tree‐Based Automated Learning

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil organic matter (SOM) is a key indicator of land degradation and soil functioning. It plays an essential role in nutrient cycling, soil structure, and long‐term agroecosystem resilience. The variations of surface cover, soil moisture and soil texture heterogeneity will affect the accuracy of SOM remote sensing mapping. This study developed

An Integrated Numerical and Bollard Pull Evaluation Approach for Early‐Stage Resistance and Thrust Assessment of a Small Craft

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early‐stage hydrodynamic assessment of slender multihull vessels is challenged by limited geometric maturity, uncertain propulsion integration, and strong sensitivity to operating conditions. Under such constraints, reliance on a single analytical or numerical method may lead to misleading design decisions due to oversimplification or ...
