Spatiotemporal Speed Planning for Multi-Vehicle Cooperative Driving With Dynamic Following Relationships

In Autonomous Valet Parking scenarios, multiple vehicles operate cooperatively in low-speed environments where the leading-vehicle constraint may be dynamically reconstructed due to path transitions. Under such conditions, conventional spee...

The Impacts of the Multiscale Built Environment on Commuting Mode Choice: Spatial Heterogeneity, Moderating Effects, and Implications for Demand Estimation

Promoting the usage of sustainable commuting modes requires in-depth understanding about residents’ commuting mode choice behavior. This study presents an empirical study to investigate the relationship between the built environment and com...

Modulation of Mode‐Water Eddies on Upper Ocean Responses to Tropical Cyclones

Abstract The modulation of anticyclonic subsurface‐intensified mode‐water eddies (MWEs) on the oceanic physical and biological responses to tropical cyclones (TCs) is investigated using satellite measurements, in situ observations and numer...

Terrestrial Remote Sensing of Snowmelt in a Diverse High-Arctic Tundra Environment Using Time-Lapse Imagery

Snow cover is one of the crucial factors influencing the plant distribution in harsh Arctic regions. In tundra environments, wind redistribution of snow leads to a very heterogeneous spatial distribution which influences growth conditions f...

THE OVERVIEW OF THE PLANETARY ATMOSPHERIC SPECTRAL TELESCOPE (PAST) IN THE SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM IN NEAR-SPACE (SENSE)

To investigate mass transport and energy dissipation in space environments for solar system planet, a balloon-borne planetary atmospheric spectral telescope (PAST) is designed with 0.8-m aperture in spectral range from 280 nm to 680&...

A Terrain-Feature-Aware Multiscale PTD for Airborne LiDAR Ground Filtering

Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has become an indispensable tool for earth observation, supporting applications such as digital terrain modeling, environmental monitoring, and geohazard assessment. A fundamental challenge in Li...

The Language of Plants: Science, Philosophy, Literature

Plants are perhaps the most fundamental form of life, providing sustenance, and thus enabling the existence of all animals, including us humans. Their evolutionary transition from Paleozoic aquatic beginnings to a vegetative life out of wat...

Photosynthetic Research in Plant Science

Photosynthesis is a highly regulated, multistep process. It encompasses the harvest of solar energy, transfer of excitation energy, energy conversion, electron transfer from water to NADP+, ATP generation and a series of enzymatic reactions...

The relationship between spiritual intelligence and religious orientation with interpersonal forgiveness in victims of bullying nurses

Background: Workplace bullying is recognized as a serious problem in the nursing profession, which can have significant negative effects on nurses’ mental health and job performance. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ...

Background: Life Orientation educators hold great responsibility for the well-being of their students, which can be supported through imparting sexuality education. However, the absence of formal training for this subject may have negative ...

High-throughput analysis of ammonia oxidiser community composition via a novel, amoA-based functional gene array.

Advances in microbial ecology research are more often than not limited by the capabilities of available methodologies. Aerobic autotrophic nitrification is one of the most important and well studied microbiological processes in terrestrial ...

Landscape fragmentation and pollinator movement within agricultural environments: a modelling framework for exploring foraging and movement ecology

Pollinator decline has been linked to landscape change, through both habitat fragmentation and the loss of habitat suitable for the pollinators to live within. One method for exploring why landscape change should affect pollinator populatio...

Climate factors dominate the elevational variation in grassland plant resource utilization strategies

Specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) are key leaf functional traits often used to reflect plant resource utilization strategies and predict plant responses to environmental changes. In general, grassland plants at dif...
