Parametric Study on the Free-Fall Water Entry of a Sphere by Using the RANS Method

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Motivated by the application of water-entry problems in the air-drop deployment of a spherical oceanographic measuring device, the free-fall water entry of a sphere was numerically investigated by using the transient Reynolds-averaged Navier−Stokes

H-SLAM: Hybrid direct–indirect visual SLAM

open access: yesRobotics and Autonomous Systems
The recent success of hybrid methods in monocular odometry has led to many attempts to generalize the performance gains to hybrid monocular SLAM. However, most attempts fall short in several respects, with the most prominent issue being the need for two different map representations (local and global maps), with each requiring different ...

Automated Lawn Maintenance: An Agronomic and Operational Review of Turf Health, Biodiversity, and Field Performance

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grass mowing is one of the most resource‐consuming activities in green maintenance, whether in private areas such as home gardens or in public spaces like urban parks. In recent years, concerns related to climate change, human health, and sustainability have become increasingly prominent in green maintenance, leading manufacturers and industry

Slamming response analysis of global load for large-bow flare naval ship in rough sea

open access: yesZhongguo Jianchuan Yanjiu
ObjectivesWhen a large-bow naval ship encounters adverse sea conditions, bow flare slamming causes a hull girder whipping response which threatens the security of global longitudinal strength.

Forced water entry and exit of two-dimensional bodies through a free surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.The forced water entry and exit of two-dimensional bodies through a free surface is computed for various 2D bodies (symmetric wedges, asymmetric wedges ...

A Comparison of Mobile Laser Scanning Data Acquisition Methods in Closed Forest, Open Woodland and Sub‐Alpine Woodland Ecosystems

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the mobile laser scanning (MLS) sampling density required to reliably characterise vegetation structure increases with a site's structural complexity. Applying a five‐level acquisition framework across open woodland, closed forest and sub‐alpine woodland ecosystems, we found that longer scanning paths increased the ...

DNS-SLAM: Dense Neural Semantic-Informed SLAM

open access: yes2024 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS)
In recent years, coordinate-based neural implicit representations have shown promising results for the task of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). While achieving impressive performance on small synthetic scenes, these methods often suffer from oversmoothed reconstructions, especially for complex real-world scenes.

Building a Collaborative Teaching Study Group as a Dynamic Nexus of Research and Practice in TBLT: Porous Systems, Agentic Beings, and Energy Flows

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite its potential benefits, empirical research on researcher–practitioner collaboration within collaborative teaching study groups (CTSGs) remains limited, particularly regarding how this collaboration is manifested and constructed. This study aims to fill this gap by documenting a 9‐year collaborative initiative that facilitated the ...
