Dignity's Dilemma: Categorical Objections to Autonomous Weapons and Their Pacifist Entailments

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dignity objections to autonomous weapon systems are prominent in contemporary military ethics, yet their theoretical foundations remain underexamined. This article reconstructs those foundations, showing what categorical dignity objections require to function as absolute prohibitions.

Stretch‐shortening cycle force–time and power–time waveform analysis indicates limitations of the contralateral limb benchmark in athletes with ACL injury

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Unilateral countermovement jump (CMJsingle) testing is commonly used after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) to assess stretch‐shortening cycle (SSC) function and return‐to‐sport readiness. However, the impact of ACLR on contralateral limb SSC function is poorly understood, which may impact the utility of the ...

Data‐Driven Insights into Hyperkinetic Disorders in Neurodevelopmental Syndromes and Epileptic Encephalopathies

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Childhood‐onset hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a range of genetic conditions. Recently, there has been an increase in recognition of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly dystonia, chorea and dyskinesia, with monogenic conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) and also with developmental and epileptic ...

Dynamic Performance Enhancement of a High‐Agility Hypersonic Mechanical System via a Learning‐Augmented Robust Control Architecture

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of control systems for high‐agility mechanical systems operating in extreme environments is a significant challenge in nonlinear dynamics. This paper addresses the complex dynamic control problem of a hypersonic interceptor, modeled as a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) mechanical system characterized by strong aerodynamic cross ...

Influences of nanotwin volume fraction on the ballistic performance of coarse-grained metals

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2017
Coarse-grained (CG) metals strengthened by nanotwinned (NT) regions possess high strength and good ductility. As such, they are very suitable for applications in bullet-proof targets.

Asymmetric transferability of trait–environment relationships between native and exotic plant species in Singaporean forests differing in land‐use history

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.
