Geo-Mapping and Visual Stitching to Support Landmine Detection Using a Low-Cost UAV
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2015 This paper describes the development of an aerial system applied for the terrain mapping and geo-detection of explosive landmine-like objects. In practice in Colombia, a large percentage of the anti-personnel mines that still remain across the country ...

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 ...
