REWW‐ARM—Remote Wire‐Driven Mobile Robot: Design, Control, and Experimental Validation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The Remote Wire‐Driven robot “REWW‐ARM” demonstrates a new concept of remote actuation that separates electronics from harsh environments while retaining closed‐loop control. Combining tendon‐sheath mechanisms with decoupled joints, it achieves efficient power transmission and autonomous locomotion, manipulation, and underwater operation, suggesting ...

Thermal model for charring rate calculation in wooden cellular slabs under fire [PDF]

, 2016
Wood is a natural and traditional building material, as popular today as ever, and presents advantages. Physically, wood is strong and stiff, but compared with other materials like steel is light and flexible.

Dynamic investigation on the Mirandola bell tower in post-earthquake scenarios [PDF]

, 2016
After the seismic events of the 20th and 29th of May 2012 in Emilia (Italy), most of the monumental and historic buildings of the area were severely damaged. In a few structures, partial collapse mechanisms were observed (e.g.

Slip‐Adaptive Neural Control of Gecko‐Inspired Adhesive Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a neural adhesion controller to improve the stability of gecko‐inspired climbing robots. By integrating an echo state network and a multilayer perceptron, the system utilizes joint torque feedback to accurately estimate adhesion in both normal and shear directions and predict slips. This enables effective recovery from slip events,

Documenting Bronze Age Akrotiri on Thera using laser scanning, image-based modelling and geophysical prospection [PDF]

, 2017
The excavated architecture of the exceptional prehistoric site of Akrotiri on the Greek island of Thera/Santorini is endangered by gradual decay, damage due to accidents, and seismic shocks, being located on an active volcano in an earthquake-prone area.

Wind‐driven seed dispersal differentially promotes seed trapping and retention across alpine plants

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Seed dispersal can mediate species interactions between plants across life stages. Plants can physically stop seed movement (seed trapping) and prevent further dispersal following entrapment (seed retention). We therefore hypothesized seed trapping and retention rates depend on the physical attributes of interacting seeds and plants ...

Underemployment and Job Quality Among Young Australians: A Gendered Analysis Using the HILDA Survey (2009–2022)

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over almost two decades, young people's employment opportunities have been significantly impacted by events like the Global Financial Crisis (2008–2009) and the COVID‐19 pandemic (2020‐). Thus, underemployment has become a more pervasive and persistent feature of young people's labour market experiences. This research focuses on three forms of

Deciphering acoustic emission signals in drought stressed branches: the missing link between source and sensor [PDF]

, 2015
When drought occurs in plants, acoustic emission (AE) signals can be detected, but the actual causes of these signals are still unknown. By analyzing the waveforms of the measured signals, it should, however, be possible to trace the characteristics of ...
