Age‐related differences in agility are related to both muscle strength and corticospinal tract function

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, February 2025.
Abstract Agility is essential for “healthy” aging, but neuromuscular contributions to age‐related differences in agility are not entirely understood. We recruited healthy (n = 32) non‐athletes (30–84 years) to determine: (1) if aging is associated with agility and (2) whether muscle strength or corticospinal tract function predicts agility. We assessed

Embodied Thermal Insecurity and Counter‐Hegemonic Heat Mapping

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 433-454, January 2025.
Abstract Lived experiences with urban heat are often rendered invisible, shrouded under the cloak of neoliberal resilience discourse and sanitised heat mapping and messaging. This is particularly tragic for disadvantaged at‐risk populations in white, settler colonial contexts where heat tolerance is worn as a badge of honour.

Comparison of two estimators of mean function in LDA of spatially correlated Gaussian data

open access: yesMathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2002
The problem of linear discriminant analysis of an observation of Gaussian random field into one of two populations is considered. In this paper we analyze the performance of the plug‐in linear discriminant function, when unknown means are estimated from ...

Estimation of Tug Pulling Power (Bollard Pull) and Number of Tugs Required During Ship Mooring Operations

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Harbour tugs are usually used to moor ships if large ships do not have their own additional propulsion devices (thrusters). Alternatively, during ship loading operations, ships sometimes have to be transferred from one quay to another, and in some cases,
