Anti-Sway Control for Haptic Crane for Application of Material Handling by Using Active Force Control (AFC) [PDF]

, 2010
This paper focuses on anti-sway control system for haptic crane that uses accelerometer and weight sensor as sway sensor and mass calculation of payload. The control method proposed is AFC which is able to control more accurate and robust while transport

Right tree, right place, right reason: Using knowledge exchange and research co‐design to explore current challenges and opportunities for sustainable urban forest management

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The urban forest provides important environmental and health and well‐being benefits to people living in cities. However, sustainable management of urban trees is challenging as they face interrelated pressures from the urban environment, pests and diseases and climate change.

Moisture inversions in the central Arctic: Product assessment and long‐wave radiative effect

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the integrated water vapour and the vertical distribution of water vapour of state‐of‐the‐art reanalyses, weather forecast models, and ground‐ and space‐based remote‐sensing products in the central Arctic. A particular focus lies on the representation of humidity inversions and the quantification of the long‐wave radiative effect ...

From 0D to 3D liquid crystal elastomers architectures: Fabrications and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents a dimension‐oriented overview of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), highlighting their molecular alignment, fabrication strategies, and programmable deformations from 0D particles to 3D architectures. Emphasis is placed on how dimensionality guides design principles, enables diverse actuation modes, and bridges fundamental ...

A branch-and-price algorithm for a hierarchical crew scheduling problem. [PDF]

We describe a real-life problem arising at a crane rental company. This problem is a generalization of the basic crew scheduling problem given in Mingozzi et al. and Beasley and Cao.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

Accounting for animal movement during aerial imaging surveys

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Animals are not stationary during aerial surveys; if their movements are related to the movement of the aerial platform, then bias can be introduced into subsequent population count estimates. We sought to establish a framework for assessing the impacts of animal movement on count error and platform bias by comparing aggregated counts and relative ...

From Green Strategy to Sustainable Development: Corporate Efforts Toward SDG 12 and SDG 13

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms are increasingly integrating United Nations Development Goals 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and 13 (Climate action) as a part of their sustainability strategies. However, prior research has rarely examined how these SDGs interact as a unified capability rather than as isolated practices.

Understanding Interactions Between Sustainable Development Goals Within and Between Policy Programmes: The Case of Kenya's Dairy Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving Agenda 2030 depends on addressing interactions between the sustainable development goals (SDGs). In this paper, we conceptualize SDG interactions as synergies or trade‐offs, incoming or outgoing, and internal or external, and analyze how SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) interacts with other SDGs within and across policy programmes that support ...

The Pier Luigi Nervi's concrete structure of Palazzetto dello Sport: Modeling and dynamic characterization

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a numerical and experimental study aimed at the modeling and dynamic characterization of the reinforced concrete structure of the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome, designed and by Pier Luigi Nervi with Annibale Vitellozzi, and built by Nervi & Bartoli contractors in 1956‐57.
