A 2D processing algorithm for detecting landmines using Ground Penetrating Radar data [PDF]
, 2012 Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) is one of a number of technologies that have been used to improve landmine detection efficiency. The clutter environment within the first few cm of the soil where landmines are buried, exhibits strong reflections with ...

Quantifying Mozambique's Peace Dividend: An Application of the Synthetic Control Method
Review of Development Economics, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 847-864, May 2026.ABSTRACT Using the synthetic control method and data from 20 African countries, this study quantifies the peace dividend in Mozambique, a country that experienced over 15 years of civil war. More specifically, we use data from 1977 to 2018 to investigate whether the end of the civil war in Mozambique in 1992 brought significant benefits to the country ...

Critical Review for One‐Class Classification: Recent Advances and Reality Behind Them
WIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Volume 16, Issue 1, March 2026.This review presents a new taxonomy to summarize one‐class classification (OCC) algorithms and their applications. The main argument is that OCC should not learn multiple classes. The paper highlights common violations of OCC involving multiple classes.

Controlled Metal Detector Mounted on Mine Detection Robot
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2008 Landmine detection capability of metal detectors is very sensitive to the gap between buried landmines and the sensor heads. Therefore, human deminers manually scan ground surface with the metal detectors in such a manner that the sensor heads follow the

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualises Palestinian infiltration—historically associated with clandestine border‐crossing after the 1948 Nakba—as a contemporary mode of research refusal within heritage research conducted under settler‐colonial conditions. Bringing scholarship on Palestinian infiltration into dialogue with literature on refusal, it argues ...
