Deadbeat Predictive Control on a Space Truss Structure
, 2006 A preliminary study of a deadbeat predictive controller (DPC) on a space truss structure using on/off thrusters was conducted. The laboratory truss experiment for space structure (TESS) was a 54-bay truss designed to validate different active control ...

Government by WhatsApp? Transparency, Secrecy and Avoidance during Covid in the UK
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract It has been claimed repeatedly that transparency undermines decision‐making. The fear of disclosure means officials and politicians may not discuss policy fully, are inhibited from giving frank advice, and could avoid proper record keeping. The use of informal communications—particularly the use of WhatsApp—makes all these tensions more likely,

A New Model of Feeding Biomechanics Based on Tied‐Arch Principles
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This new biomechanical model explains the major stress and strain patterns generated through the cranium during biting. The model proposes that the cranium resolves bite‐induced reaction forces through arcs of compressive stress that span the cranial structure between biting teeth and both jaw joints.

Discuss the Rationale for Minimally Invasive Endodontics and the Merits and Demerits of the Concept
Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Minimally invasive endodontics (MIE) places emphasis on the conservation of sound tooth structure and viable pulp tissue during endodontic procedures such as root canal treatment (RCTx) and vital pulp therapy (VPT). The use of minimal access cavity designs and conservative canal preparation dimensions have been investigated as a way to improve

What is (de)politicization and what is wrong with it?
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract This article attempts to clarify the meaning of (de)politicization. Politicization sometimes refers to the inappropriate intrusion of partisan loyalties in nonpolitical social domains (affective politicization). Politicization can also constitute an ideal of civic agency and energy (contestatory politicization).

Organisational dehumanisation: Authoritativeness as remedy
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract According to orthodoxy, the human relations movement was a watershed in rehumanising scientifically managed workplaces. In the wake of such purported reform, pundits (theorists and practitioners alike) have typically taken for granted that 21st century approaches to workplace superintendence, birthed in the wake of the Hawthorne Studies and ...
