Radiative Cooling by Green(er) Solvents‐Upcycled Polyvinyl Chloride From Drug Blisters Waste

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores upcycling poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) from used pharmaceutical blisters into sustainable radiative cooling materials. Using solvent separation and membrane fabrication, PVC was converted into white membranes paired with aluminum foil.

Energy Consumption Optimization in Trajectory Planning for Fuel Cell Hybrid Uavs Based On HMPC

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The endurance limitation of multirotor drones is a critical challenge. This study adopts a hybrid power system of fuel cells and lithium‐ion batteries. Using Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II, it integrates trajectory planning with energy management optimization.

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

La métro-périurbanisation comme nouveau paradigme ?

open access: yesProjets de Paysage, 2012
Stigmatized for a long time, the knowledge of the periurbanized spaces was essentially approached through a series of all-embracing, sometimes ideological presuppositions, ignoring the variety of the urban and social dynamics at work.

Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.

Nature urbaine et urbanité dans la station touristique de Salou (Espagne), au travers de l’étude : d’un parc-promenade, d’un paseo, d’un parc urbain

open access: yesEchoGéo, 2010
The forested public areas become a stake of the touristic appeal of coastal destinations on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. The municipalities steer the urban recovery policies on the beaches, beach heights, along the coastal line, at the expense of ...
