A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

The hydrodynamic and dynamic motion analysis of a damaged ship

open access: yes, 2008
The hydrodynamic analysis and motion response of a damaged ship requires a novel generalisation of the methodsnormally applied to intact ships or other floating structures. Damaged ship statistics are used to provide likely damage scenarios.

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development

The development of a dissipative potential flow model for wave making resistance prediction

open access: yes, 2014
Steady ship motion in calm water is a classical problem in ship hydrodynamics. Potential flow modelling is a common method to predict the wave resistance of ships.

Application of a new multi-agent Hybrid Co-evolution based Particle Swarm Optimisation methodology in ship design

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper, a multiple objective 'Hybrid Co-evolution based Particle Swarm Optimisation' methodology (HCPSO) is proposed. This methodology is able to handle multiple objective optimisation problems in the area of ship design, where the simultaneous ...

ADDED RESISTANCE OF SHIPS IN QUARTERING SEAS

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper, the 3D panel method of NTUA-SDL for calculating the added resistance of a ship in bow seas has been extended and validated for the quartering seas case. At first we studied the drift force on a semi-submersible in quartering seas.

Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Exposure Profiles and Their Predictors in a Study of US Volunteer Firefighters

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Firefighters may experience occupational exposure to per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Volunteer firefighters make up 65% of the US fire service, but their serum PFAS profiles have not been well characterized. This study aims to (1) describe PFAS serum profiles among US volunteer firefighters from 9 states enrolled in ...

Damage stability of ships as a safety criterion for optimisation tools

open access: yes, 2006
A literature overview of past optimisation studies revealed that whilst satisfaction of intact stability requirements has been built into existing alternative hull form optimisation packages, seeking improved hydrodynamic hull forms in terms of ...

How Are Australian Local Governments Responding to the Homelessness Crisis? Findings From a National Study

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Australian local governments are facing intensifying pressures to respond to worsening visible homelessness. This paper presents one of the first national studies on how local governments are responding to these pressures, and the first since the onset of the post‐pandemic housing crisis.
