Monitoring active osprey nests with drones is more time efficient and less disturbing than conventional methods

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Drones are used to monitor bird nesting sites at less accessible locations, such as on cliffs, human infrastructure, or within the tree canopy. While there are a growing number of studies documenting avian behavioral responses to various drones, there is a continued need to monitor taxa‐specific responses to different drone models. We explored both the

The Unsung Hero Towards Net Zero: The Role of Community Engagement in Circular Economy Capabilities

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Prior circular economy (CE) literature has predominantly focused on technological knowledge in the development of firms’ CE capabilities. However, since CE represents a sustainable way of life that intricately links materials, technology and affected communities, technological knowledge alone is only partially useful.

‘I think your child might be autistic’: A qualitative survey study examining how school staff broach initial interactions with parents whose children may be autistic

British Journal of Special Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Recognising and understanding that a child might be autistic is an important first step in the autism diagnostic pathway. For many families, this process involves working alongside school staff and, in England, this tends to be led by the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO). Existing research highlights the importance of how and when

Modified Smith Input-Shaper Crane-Controller for Position Control and Sway Reduction

Applied Sciences
In this paper, the control structure for a crane system is proposed. It is designed to achieve fast cargo transfer with minimum cargo sway. The proposed control structure reduces the cargo sway generated by the position controller, which accelerates and ...
