Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Multi-criteria stability combination for yaw stability control of autonomous vehicles

IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2019
Abstract This paper deals with the yaw stability control to enhance the lateral stability of an autonomous vehicle. By considering some of the main existing stability criteria in the literature, a methodology of monitoring vehicle stability by combining multiple stability criteria is developed in this paper.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

Performance change detection and recovery in inferential control loops

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract In most industrial environments, soft sensors are crucial for estimating variables that are hard to measure. It is critical that these variables be estimated quickly and accurately because they are closely linked to plant safety and profit. Therefore, performance drift in the soft sensors cannot be ignored.
