A 3D Reactive Collision Avoidance Algorithm for Nonholonomic Vehicles
(2018)
This paper presents a 3D reactive collision avoidance algorithm for vehicles with nonholonomic constraints. The algorithm steers the heading and pitch angle of the vehicle in order to maintain a constant avoidance angle ...
Exact 3D scattering solutions for spherical symmetric scatterers
(2018)
In this paper, exact solutions to the problem of acoustic scattering by elastic spherical symmetric scatterers are developed. The scatterer may consist of an arbitrary number of fluid and solid layers, and scattering with ...
Breathing patterns indicate cost of exercise during diving and response to experimental sound exposures in long-finned pilot whales
(2018)
Air-breathing marine predators that target sub-surface prey have to balance the energetic benefit of foraging against the time, energetic and physiological costs of diving. Here we use on-animal data loggers to assess ...
Investigation of new orexin 2 receptor modulators using in silico and in vitro methods
(2018)
The neuropeptides, orexin A and orexin B (also known as hypocretins), are produced in hypothalamic neurons and belong to ligands for orphan G protein-coupled receptors. Generally, the primary role of orexins is to act as ...
How to assess good candidate molecules for self-activated optical power limiting
(2018)
Reverse saturable absorbers have shown great potential to attenuate laser radiation. Good candidate molecules and various particles have successfully been incorporated into different glass matrices, enabling the creation ...
Simplified energy landscape for modularity using total variation
(2018)
Networks capture pairwise interactions between entities and are frequently used in applications such as social networks, food networks, and protein interaction networks, to name a few. Communities, cohesive groups of nodes, ...
Nucleation and propagation of thermomagnetic avalanches in thin-film superconductors (Review Article)
(2018)
Stability of the vortex matter—magnetic flux lines penetrating into the material—in type-II superconductor films is crucially important for their application. If some vortices get detached from pinning centres, the energy ...
Isogeometric Analysis of Acoustic Scattering using Infinite Elements
(2018)
Isogeometric analysis (IGA) has proven to be an improvement on the classical finite element method (FEM) in several fields, including structural mechanics and fluid dynamics. In this paper, the performance of IGA coupled ...
Terrain referenced navigation using sand dunes and sand ripples in presence of tides
(2018)
We investigated using terrain referenced navigation
in shallow water in the presence of unknown tide, with an
autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with a high resolution
bathymetric sensor. The mission area had both ...
Connecting the dots in counterterrorism: The consequences of communication setting for shared situation awareness and team performance
(2018)
Shared situation awareness (SSA) is critical for counterterrorism teams. We examined whether a rich media condition (co‐located face to face) and a lean media condition (distributed email) differentially influence SSA at ...
