Put to the test: For a new sociology of testing. [PDF]
Br J Sociol, 2020 Abstract In an age defined by computational innovation, testing seems to have become ubiquitous, and tests are routinely deployed as a form of governance, a marketing device, an instrument for political intervention, and an everyday practice to evaluate the self.

Fault tree analysis improvements: A bibliometric analysis and literature review
Quality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 1639-1659, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Fault tree analysis (FTA) is one of the most popular failure analysis techniques that reveal the potential pathways leading to systems or components failure. It has been widely employed in numerous sectors to understand how a system fails and is improved.

Hawks in the making? European public views on nuclear weapons post‐Ukraine
Global Policy, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 305-317, May 2023., 2023 Abstract In the past, the European public has not been enthusiastic about nuclear deterrence and the stationing of US American nuclear weapons in Europe. Has the Russian invasion of Ukraine changed that aversion? We conducted a unique study, surveying the same population of respondents at two points in time—in September 2020 and in June 2022.

Scientific imaginaries and science diplomacy: The case of ocean exploitation
Centaurus, Volume 63, Issue 1, Page 150-170, February 2021., 2021 Abstract As technologies of ocean exploitation emerged during the late 1960s, science policy and diplomacy were formed in response to anticipated capabilities that did not match the realities of extracting deep‐sea minerals and of resource exploitation in the deep ocean at the time.

While the diplomatic fruit is ripe: An international commission on the Korean Peninsula
Asia &the Pacific Policy Studies, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 131-140, January 2020., 2020 Abstract The Korean Peninsula is home to intermittent conflict and is an ongoing critical flashpoint. It is an entrenched, long‐standing international problem—exactly what international commissions are designed to address. An international commission is an ad hoc transnational investigative mechanism, which dependent upon its sponsors and constitution ...

Aerodynamic Shape Optimization of a Missile Using a Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the effects of the shape optimization on the missile performance at supersonic speeds. The N1G missile model shape variation, which decreased its aerodynamic drag and increased its aerodynamic lift at supersonic flow under determined constraints, was numerically investigated.

Optimal Midcourse Guidance Algorithm for Exoatmospheric Interception Using Analytical Gradients
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 This paper is aimed at providing a semianalytical method to solve the optimal exoatmospheric interception problem with the minimum fuel consumption. A nonlinear programming (NLP) problem with the minimum velocity increment, which involves Lambert’s problem with unspecified time‐of‐flight, is firstly formulated.

Kyklos, Volume 79, Issue 1, Page 17-23, February 2026.ABSTRACT This article proposes that wars are fought to bring about and monitor mutual reductions of overinvestment in broadly defined military preparedness. If two potential combatants are overinvested in military preparedness, it is in their individual interest to scale down in order to use their resources in politically more desirable ways.
