Pickin' up good vibrations: a systematic review of footfall detection and analysis in the realm of wildlife surveying

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

LamelODF: a MATLAB‐based toolbox for orientation distribution analysis and mapping of lamellar minerals for laboratory and synchrotron X‐ray diffractometers

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
LamelODF is a MATLAB‐based toolbox aimed at simplifying the automated extraction of orientation distribution functions from 2D X‐ray diffraction data of lamellar minerals in transmission mode. It accommodates both laboratory and synchrotron data formats, providing an integrated pipeline from raw data to spatially resolved textural maps, enabling robust

The Multilevel Implications of a Sinn Féin Government in Ireland

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 173-179, January/March 2025.
Abstract The electoral growth of Sinn Féin on both sides of the Irish border has generated much political and academic attention in recent years. The party could form part of the government in Dublin for the first time at the next Irish general election, though that outcome is far from certain.

Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Buildings with Sliding Belt Seismic Isolation and Elastic Limiter of Horizontal Displacements

Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings
An effective way of ensuring seismic resistance of buildings and structures is the use of active seismic protection systems - seismic isolation. One known type of seismic isolation is a sliding belt at foundation level.

Grounds in Equality Law: Before and After For Women Scotland

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
Grounds are the fulcrum of equality law. Thus, discrimination is discrimination when it is based on or because of certain kinds of personal characteristics or grounds such as race or sex. But there is no definition of grounds in general or a definition of grounds such as race or sex in particular in equality law. This article shows that in defining the
