Characterization of Rain Attenuation for Millimeter Wavelengths for Realistic Nonrotational Symmetric Drop Shapes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of frequencies above 30 GHz (millimeter waves) for communication purposes is nowadays a necessity, both for terrestrial (e.g., 5G/6G) and satellite links. One reason is the need for more bandwidth and the fact that “traditional” frequency bands are already fully occupied.

Tourism as a Catalyst for Blue Carbon Restoration and Conservation: Pathways, Gaps, and Opportunities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tourism is a major driver of coastal economies worldwide, yet it is also a growing source of pressure on blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Nowadays, tourism‐led conservation/restoration is increasingly promoted under the banner of regenerative tourism, but how these projects are motivated ...

Examining the Role of Economic Complexity and Climate Readiness in the Climate‐Fishing Nexus

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the climate‐fisheries association in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations from 1999 to 2022. A key objective is to explore the role of both the economic complexity index (ECI) and the climate readiness factor (READ) in the climate‐fishing nexus.

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Beyond Resilience: Measuring the Livelihood Vulnerability of Commercial Livestock Farmers to Drought in South Africa

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change continues to increase the frequency and intensity of events, threatening agricultural production, farmers' livelihoods and the achievement of SDGs 1 and 2 (No Poverty and Zero Hunger). This study examined the effect of agricultural drought on the livelihood vulnerability of commercial livestock farmers in the Northern Cape ...

Bimetallic Zn/Cu Metal–Organic Framework (MOF)/ Two‐Dimensional i‐MBene Hybrid Electrodes for Enhanced Supercapacitor Performance

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A Zn/Cu MOF–i‐MBene hybrid electrode (ZC‐MYB) for supercapacitors is developed. The composite retained 81% of its specific capacitance after 9000 cycles, increasing it by 46% over ZC MOF and 5.6‐fold over i‐MBene. At 2 mV/s, the asymmetric ZC‐MYB/AC device produced 73.4 F/g.

AI‐Powered GPR Characterization of Peatland Underground Cavity Induced by Smoldering Wildfire: A Laboratory Proof‐of‐Concept

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
We present an AI‐assisted ground‐penetrating radar framework to noninvasively detect and quantify smoldering wildfire‐induced subsurface cavities in peatlands. A ResNet model accurately predicts cavity geometry from GPR images, enabling improved assessment of underground fire damage and hazards.

Vision language models for bridge inspections: A review of applications in image‐based damage documentation

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Automating bridge inspections requires more than detecting individual damage instances. It demands systems capable of describing, contextualizing, and interpreting damage in an inspection‐relevant manner. Conventional computer vision approaches, such as object detection and segmentation, primarily address visual recognition tasks and are ...
