Brokering Localization: Country‐Based Pooled Funds in Humanitarian Assistance
Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article analyzes Country‐Based Pooled Funds (CBPFs) to identify types of brokerage models and their effects on localization. CBPFs are intermediaries in the aid chain connecting donors to implementers such as the United Nations, international non‐governmental organizations (INGOs) and national NGOs (NNGOs). This paper analyzes four of the

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract While the physical and mental health benefits of greenspace exposure are well documented, ethnic minority communities in the United Kingdom continue to engage with these environments at disproportionately lower rates. This persistent disparity points to an oversight in existing literature, specifically regarding how these communities navigate ...

Adaptive Sliding‐Mode Control of a Perturbed Diffusion Process With Pointwise In‐Domain Actuation
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A sliding mode–based adaptive control law is proposed for a class of diffusion processes featuring a spatially‐varying uncertain diffusivity and equipped with several point‐wise actuators located at the two boundaries of the spatial domain as well as in its interior.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...
