Antipersonnel landmines in the Colombian internal conflict: implications for technology development
The effort of universities, companies, and the state in Colombia to face home-made AP landmines has generated useful solutions and studies for many projects developed in the last decade, including demining processes in Colombia.

This body of art: The singular plural of the feminine [PDF]
I explore the possibility that the feminine, like art, can be thought in terms of Jean-Luc Nancy’s concept of the singular plural. In Les Muses, Nancy claims that art provides for the rethinking of a technë not ruled by instrumentality.

A FDTD model for the post-reception synthetic focusing surface penetrating radar with mine detecting applications [PDF]
Surface penetrating radar (SPR) is extensively used in military, civil, geophysical and archaeological applications. There has been an increasing emphasis on the use of SPR in the identification of buried unexploded ordnance, such as anti-tank mines ...

DYLEMA: Using walking robots for landmine detection and location [PDF]
Detection and removal of antipersonnel landmines is an important worldwide concern. A huge number of landmines has been deployed over the last twenty years, and demining will take several more decades, even if no more mines were deployed in future.

Artefacto Explosivo Improvisado: landmines and rebel expertise in Colombian warfare
In Colombia, almost all antipersonnel mines are improvised. Crafted with ordinary materials, improvised mines are inexpensive and cannot be easily sensed by metal detectors. Their Spanish technical name is Artefacto Explosivo Improvisado. In this article,

The COMRADE System for Multirobot Autonomous Landmine Detection in Postconflict Regions
We consider the problem of autonomous landmine detection using a team of mobile robots. Previous research on robotic landmine detection mostly employs a single robot equipped with a landmine detection sensor to detect landmines. We envisage that the quality of landmine detection can be significantly improved if multiple robots are coordinated to detect

A Review on Migration Methods in B‐Scan Ground Penetrating Radar Imaging
Even though ground penetrating radar has been well studied and applied by many researchers for the last couple of decades, the focusing problem in the measured GPR images is still a challenging task. Although there are many methods offered by different scientists, there is not any complete migration/focusing method that works perfectly for all ...
