Terrain classification for mobile robot navigation

open access: yes, 2007
92 p.Terrain classification is an important problem that still remains to be solved for autonomous robot vehicle guidance. Often, obstacle detection systems are used which cannot distinguish between solid obstacles such as rocks or soft obstacles such as

Education as a Common Possession

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article reflects on Will Kymlicka's account of solidarity and membership through the lens of conflict over public schooling in San Francisco. It contrasts a Marshallian vision of society as a shared possession capable of sustaining democratic solidarity and welfare institutions with an anti‐Marshallian politics that sees the language of ...

Variation in Spatial Predictions Among Species Distribution Modeling Methods [PDF]

open access: yes
Prediction maps produced by species distribution models (SDMs) influence decision-making in resource management or designation of land in conservation planning. Many studies have compared the prediction accuracy of different SDM modeling methods, but few

Collaborative Autoethnography: A Research Method to Investigate Professional Identity of Medical Radiation Practitioners

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
The professional identity of medical radiation practitioners (MRPs) is evolving in line with the changing healthcare landscape. Collaborative autoethnography offers a feasible qualitative research method to investigate professional identity. ABSTRACT Professional identity (PI) encompasses the values, knowledge, skills and attitudes aligned with an ...

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

Multi‐Country‐Multi‐City Characterisation of Heat Stress and Exposure in Africa

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first continent‐wide, grid‐specific assessment of heat stress trends in Africa, revealing a sharp rise in multi‐scale extreme heat episodes and shifting population exposure. Findings highlight urgent implications for urban planning and climate adaptation.
