Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Development of underground structure case study: additional car parking space at Sogo complex / Nur Syaimira Mat Rosli [PDF]

, 2010
Development of underground structures is a rare development in Malaysia. Underground development is often associated with high in development costs. For other countries that have high growth, the development of underground structure has become an option ...

Numerical Simulation for Progressive Collapse of Underground Structure under its Internal Blast Load

, 2011
Numerical simulation for the progressive collapse of the underground structure under its internal blast load has been reported in this paper. The three dimensional model of the underground structure with two-story and two-spans in both x-direction and z ...

Measuring Child Disadvantage: Comparing Multidimensional and Socioeconomic Approaches for Predicting Developmental Outcomes

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robust measurement of disadvantage is essential to identifying and addressing inequities in children's development. We tested how a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage performed relative to a traditional socioeconomic position (SEP) approach to predict developmental outcomes.

Estimation of Irregular Underground-Structure From Seismic Ground Motions [PDF]

, 1984
Phinney's method was extended so as to be able to extract the seismic effects of the underground structures containing irregular interfaces. The spectral ratios of the vertical component to the horizontal one of P- and S-wave motions were expressed as a ...

‘Turkeys Cannot Vote for Christmas’: Why Epistemic Disobedience in an Anti‐Black World Matters

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Never in the history of global coloniality has the idea of epistemic disobedience been as important as in the 21st century. This is not only because the struggle for decolonisation has shifted from physical confrontation between the coloniser and the colonised into a battle of ideas but also because the former has deployed the idea of ...
