Does AI Affect the Democratic Conduct of War? Analyzing US and Israeli Military AI Deployment
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how the use of decision‐support military Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems can affect the democratic conduct of warfare. AI can challenge the democratic conduct of warfare by introducing systemic risks such as reduced oversight, opacity, and automation bias.

Hierarchical Optimization of the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Energy
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract The As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy [SA07] has become a versatile ingredient in various geometry processing and machine learning methods. The classic method for its minimization is a block coordinate descent, alternating between local rotation estimation and a global linear solve, which converges slowly for large problem instances.

Impact of Wave Dragon on Wave Climate
, 2006 This report is an advisory paper for use in determining the wave dragon effects on hydrography, by considering the effect on the wave climate in the region of a wave dragon. This is to be used in the impact assessment for the Wave Dragon pre-commercial demonstrator.

Tolkien’s Japonisme: Prints, Dragons, and a Great Wave
Tolkien Studies, 2013 The original September 1937 George Allen & Unwin edition of The Hobbit features artwork by J.R.R. Tolkien along with an accompanying dust jacket. This latter work is a modern, stylized graphic design composed of a not entirely symmetrical view of a Middle-earth landscape (night to the left, day to the right), with the Lonely Mountain rising in the ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.In lignin peroxidase and versatile peroxidase, low FRET from buried Trp to heme promotes long‐range electron transfer (LRET) from substrate to heme. This efficient electron flow is facilitated by reduced FRET competition. This mechanism likely evolved to enable the effective degradation of bulky, high‐redox‐potential lignin that cannot reach the enzyme'

Dynamic colour change predicts movement behaviour in a diadromous fish
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Dynamic changes in colour and pattern facilitate key behavioural functions in animals, particularly camouflage for predator avoidance. However, the benefits of colour change depend on the environmental and behavioural contexts. We tested how colour change interacts with movement behaviour in a freshwater fish by filming individuals in an open ...

Hydraulic Model Tests on Modified Wave Dragon
, 2001 A floating model of the Wave Dragon (WD) was built in autumn 1998 by the Danish Maritime Institute in scale 1:50, see Sørensen and Friis-Madsen (1999) for reference. This model was subjected to a series of model tests and subsequent modifications at Aalborg University and in the following this model is denoted the 1. generation model.

Agro‐Industrial Enclosures: Food Security, Land Consolidation and Rural Displacement in China
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines rural enclosures for industrialized agriculture as a window into the local political economy and territorial politics underlying projects of agricultural modernization. In recent years, agro‐industrial parks with ‘characteristic’ industries have proliferated in China as the government viewed it as a technical solution to ...

‘Chrystalline Talk’: Thomas Browne's Poetics of Concretion and Mineral Plain Style
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article charts the figuration, both material and rhetorical, of mineral bodies in early modern natural philosophy, paying particular attention to the second book of Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). It argues that concretions (stony calculi and crystals formed through the aggregation of physical matter) make manifest a mineral

The Wave Energy Device:Wave Dragon
, 2006 The Wave Dragon is a 4 to 11 MW offshore wave energy converter of the overtopping type. It basically consists of two wave reflectors focusing the waves towards a ramp, a reservoir for collecting the overtopping water and a number of hydro turbines for converting the pressure head into power.
