Unraveling authoritarian reform decision‐making: A metacognitive–subcognitive model

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent research indicates that state reforms in East and Southeast Asia have been predominantly top‐down and authoritarian‐led. However, this significant observation implicitly relies on important assumptions about authoritarian decision‐making behavior and psychology that remains understudied.

INTERACTIVE DYNAMIC SIMULATOR FOR MULTIBODY SYSTEMS [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Humanoid Robotics, 2012
We propose an interactive dynamic simulator for humanoid robots using constraint-based methods for computing interaction forces with friction. This simulator is a part of a general framework for prototyping called AMELIF and is a successful integration of physical models.

Standing on a common ground: a comparison of static stability approaches for pallet loading

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract At the practical level, the static stability constraint is one of the most important constraints in practical pallet loading problems, such as air cargo palletizing. Approaches to modeling static stability, which range from base support and mechanical equilibrium calculations to physical simulation, differ in workflow, focus, and assumptions ...

Multipoint Aerostructural Optimization of Wind Turbine Rotors Using a Coupled Blade‐Resolved Aerostructural Solver

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Physics‐based design optimization workflows thread the needle between computational cost limitations and simulation complexity, often compromising between modeling detail and the range of operating design conditions. Multipoint aerostructural optimization of wind turbine rotors has so far been confined to low‐fidelity analyses or to high ...

Applied mathematics analysis of the multibody systems

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2012
A methodology is developed for the analysis of the multibody systems that is applied on the vehicle as a case study. The previous study emphasizes the derivation of the multibody dynamics equations of motion for bogie [2]. In this work, we have developed a guide-way for the analysis of the dynamical behavior of the multibody systems for mainly ...

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Evaluation of Modeling Assumptions for Predicting Structural Damage and Train Derailment Under Earthquake Loading

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 7, Page 1514-1532, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid development of new railway networks and the aging of existing infrastructure in seismic‐prone regions continue to motivate the need for efficient methods to simulate the dynamic behavior of coupled train track structure systems. While detailed train–structure interaction (TSI) models can capture complex mechanisms, they are often too

Robust Linearization and Eigenvalue Analysis of General Complex Constrained Multibody Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 187-203, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The derivation of linearized equations and subsequent eigenvalue analysis is the basis for tasks such as frequency‐domain response analysis, control design, and stability assessment for mechanical systems. However, for general multibody systems with redundant or nonholonomic constraints, practical challenges persist in achieving numerically ...
