Monte Carlo modelling of a neutron-induced gamma-ray sensor for landmine or explosive detection

open access: yesJournal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences, 2018
Monte Carlo simulations were carried out to model a thermal neutron-induced gamma-ray sensor for anti-personnel-landmine (APM) or explosive detection. This is done by employing the thermal neutron prompt gamma activation (TNPGA) technique.

A Convex Feature Learning Formulation for Latent Task Structure Discovery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper considers the multi-task learning problem and in the setting where some relevant features could be shared across few related tasks. Most of the existing methods assume the extent to which the given tasks are related or share a common feature ...

How Far Are Two Symmetric Matrices From Commuting? With an Application to Object Characterisation and Identification in Metal Detection

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1914-1942, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Examining the extent to which measurements of rotation matrices are close to each other is challenging due measurement noise. To overcome this, data is typically smoothed, and the Riemannian and Euclidean metrics are applied. However, if rotation matrices are not directly measured and are instead formed by eigenvectors of measured symmetric ...

Range-Point Migration-Based Image Expansion Method Exploiting Fully Polarimetric Data for UWB Short-Range Radar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Ultrawideband radar with high-range resolution is a promising technology for use in short-range 3-D imaging applications, in which optical cameras are not applicable. One of the most efficient 3-D imaging methods is the range-point migration (RPM) method,

Re‐Imagining Middle Powers in an Age of Global Transformation

open access: yesGlobal Policy, Volume 17, Issue S1, Page S5-S13, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The post–1945 international order is in flux. Trump's return to the White House in 2025 marks a critical juncture, reinforcing a structural transformation characterised by intensifying US–China rivalry, the weaponisation of economic statecraft and the fragmentation of multilateralism.
