Sustainable Development Goals Applied to the Maritime Transportation Sector: Setting Sail for the Future

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to eradicate poverty, protect the environment, and promote prosperity through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals requires a multi‐sectoral approach. Maritime transportation, vital to the global economy, significantly contributes to several SDGs and plays a strategic ...

Pseudonyms, Propaganda, and Prints: The Life and Political Caricatures of William Dent, 1782–931

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract ‘Dent was probably an amateur and nothing is known of his life’, state Bryant and Heneage. Despite contributing to caricature's ‘golden age’, William Dent remains overlooked compared to contemporaries like James Gillray. Dent's extensive portfolio (1782–93) and rumoured role as a Pittite propagandist have not secured his place in the canon of ...

The Dual‐Use Conundrum of the Lisbon Treaty Regarding Space Governance: Solutions Through International Legal Interpretation?

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An inherent divide features within the Lisbon Treaty between civilian and military/security competences; something previously more obvious via the ‘pillar system's’ separations. This division follows the Member States (MS) (natural) protection of their military/defence autonomy; their core sovereign powers.

Dynamic traffic assignment of cooperative adaptive cruise control

Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 2018
Abstract Advances in connected and automated vehicle technologies have resulted in new vehicle applications, such as cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC). Microsimulation models have shown significant increases in capacity and stability due to CACC, but most previous work has relied on microsimulation.

The Unintended Consequences of German Deterrence

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Germany's evolving deterrence posture boils down to continued participation in NATO nuclear sharing and an ambitious conventional rearmament program. Due to its non‐nuclear status and a result of decades of underinvestment, Germany prioritizes modern conventional weapons.

Cooperative Adaptive Driving for Platooning Autonomous Self Driving Based on Edge Computing

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2019
Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) for human and autonomous self-driving aims to achieve active safe driving that avoids vehicle accidents or traffic jam by exchanging the road traffic information (e.g., traffic flow, traffic density, velocity ...

Dynamic Predictor-based Extended Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control

IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2019
Abstract In this paper, we present a dynamic predictor-based controller, which is applied to a platoon of vehicles under a modified extended cooperative adaptive cruise control introduced in Montanaro et al. (2014). We show the advantages that the dynamic predictor control law offers. A comparison with the control without predictor is made.

Advancing Ecological Understanding and Sustainable Management of Small Pelagic Fish

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish (SPF) are critical to the trophodynamic structure and function of marine systems and support some of the most valuable and socially important fisheries worldwide. Their “boom and bust” population dynamics, shifts in distribution, and importance as forage resources for other fish stocks place unique challenges to assessing ...
