Multimodal Locomotion: Next Generation Aerial–Terrestrial Mobile Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView., 2023
Aerial–terrestrial robots can achieve efficient energy consumption and robust environmental interaction by adding morphological features, adapting forms for locomotion transitions, and integrating multiple platforms. This next generation of mobile robots advances real‐world robotic deployment for operations with complex tasks and tackle environments ...

Deterministic Earthquake Scenarios for the City of Sofia [PDF]

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2004
The city of Sofia is exposed to a high seismic risk. Macroseismic intensities in the range of VIII – X (MSK) can be expected in the city. The earthquakes that can influence the hazard in Sofia originate either beneath the city or are caused by seismic sources located within a radius of 40 km.

Building strength for the long haul toward liberation: What psychology can contribute to the resilience of communities targeted by state‐sanctioned violence

American Journal of Community Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 3-4, Page 475-492, December 2022., 2022
Abstract State‐sanctioned violence (SSV) has resounding effects on entire populations, and marginalized communities have long persisted in the work toward liberation despite continued SSV. This paper aims to bridge the gap between the vast scholarship on resilience and the practical challenge of sustaining and thriving in communities targeted by SSV ...

Massively parallel computation of globally optimal shortest paths with curvature penalization

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 35, Issue 2, 25 January 2023., 2023
Abstract We address the computation of paths globally minimizing an energy involving their curvature, with given endpoints and tangents at these endpoints, according to models known as the Reeds‐Shepp car (reversible and forward variants), the Euler‐Mumford elasticae, and the Dubins car. For that purpose, we numerically solve degenerate variants of the

Impacts of Earthquakes on Electrical Grid Resilience [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2021 IEEE/IAS 57th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference, pp. 1-5, Apr. 2021, 2021
One of the most complex and devastating disaster scenarios that the U.S.~Pacific Northwest region and the state of Oregon faces is a large magnitude Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake event. The region's electrical grid lacks in resilience against the destruction of a megathrust earthquake, a powerful tsunami, hundreds of aftershocks and increased ...
