A proxy-tactile reactive control for robots moving in clutter by Caroleo, G, Giovinazzo, F, Albini, A, Grella, F, Cannata, G, Maiolino, P

“…Specifically, the presented solution leverages proximity sensing obtained from distributed Time of Flight (ToF) sensors to avoid collision when this does not interfere with the pick-and-place task. …”

Leveraging or overcoming distance? Global strategy and structure of professional service firms by Sako, M, Peo, J

“…When the logic of distance-as-barrier is upheld, PSFs give greater autonomy to local units or establish loosely connected regionally autonomous partnerships. …”

Gender identity in the 2021 census of England and Wales: how a flawed question created spurious data by Biggs, M

“…The results are also internally inconsistent when the various categories of gender identity are correlated across localities, and when compared with sexual orientation. …”

The representation dynamic and the “normalization” of group differences by Carvalho, J-P, Pradelski, BSR

“…Equality of opportunity almost never results in equal outcomes, even when groups have the same productivity. Minorities and historically marginalized groups tend to be underrepresented. …”

Rabindranath Tagore’s সমাজ/samaj/communities of song by McDonald, PD

“…What happens when songs or lyric poems, composed at particular moments, become state anthems, performed again and again across generations? …”

Contextualizing formal verification for systems security engineering by Shaked, A, Melham, T

“…By reflecting on system development approaches, we identify and exemplify pertinent challenges and suggest directions to facilitate the effective, scalable use of formal methods when designing systems.…”

Perceiving agency in a multi-agent context: more interactions with the environment yet reduced agency in depression by Jain, R

“…</p> <p>Research shows that individuals tend to perceive positive action-outcome relations when both action and outcome are present, and these relations are weakened when only one occurs. …”

Moments of the Riemannn zeta function and log-correlated random variables by Curran, MJ

“…Unconditionally, we can only estimate these shifted moments when k = 1 and β ≤ 2 or when k = 2 and 0 ≤ β ≤ 1. …”

Competitive overlap as a signal in expert partner choice: evidence from patent law firm selection by Borchhardt, G, Kovacs, B, Rogan, M

“…Companies rely on this signal most when they lack direct experience with potential partners or when entering new technological domains. …”

Understanding the private-public school performance gap in PISA: evidence from Portugal by Colaço, R, Freitas, P, Nunes, LC, Reis, AB

“…We analyse the PISA-reported convergence in the performance of private and public schools in Portugal. When PISA sampling weights are used, the number of students enrolled in those types of schools and specific grades/tracks of study differs significantly from official population figures. …”

Understanding the intermittency of the wintertime North Atlantic Oscillation and East Atlantic Pattern seasonal forecast skill in the Copernicus C3S multi-model ensemble by Baker, L, Shaffrey, L, Johnson, S, Weisheimer, A

“…Years with high NAO predictability are associated with substantial tropical forcing, generally from the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), while poor forecasts of the NAO occur when ENSO forcing is weak. Well-forecast EA winters also generally occurred when there was substantial tropical forcing, although the relationship was less robust than for the NAO. …”

Reconstruction from smaller cards by Groenland, C, Johnston, T, Scott, A, Tan, J

“…In addition, we can recognise the connectedness of a graph from its $\ell$-deck when $\ell\ge 9n/10$, and reconstruct the degree sequence when $\ell\ge\sqrt{2n\log(2n)}$. …”

Showcase the smiles or the tears? How elicited perspectives determine optimal charity appeal content by Hildebrand, D, Hadi, R, Sen, S

“…Across three incentive-compatible experiments, we demonstrate that while DB appeals are more effective in increasing donation behavior when an ad evokes a beneficiary-perspective (i.e., asking viewers to imagine how a beneficiary feels), SB appeals are more effective when an ad evokes a self-perspective (i.e., asking viewers to imagine how they themselves would feel if they were in the beneficiary’s position). …”

Comic objectification by Walker, Z

“…As for the morality of this ‘comic objectification’, I argue that regarding someone with a comically objectifying attitude is wrongful when such an attitude plays a role in legitimating the oppression of members of their social group.…”

Hawking radiation of extended objects by Johnson, G, March-Russell, J

“…We compute the effects on the temperature and precise spectrum of Hawking radiation from a Schwarzschild black hole when the emitted object is taken to be spatially extended. …”

Examining the adoption of electromobility concepts across social contexts for energy transition by K?hlke, Julia, Lechowicz, Adam, Fabikun, Oluwole, Bashir, Noman, Souza, Abel, Shenoy, Prashant, Lehnhoff, Sebastian

An optimal scheduling scheme for electric vehicles in smarts grids by Teh, Xiu Yi

“…Over the past ten years, the use of electric cars has risen rapidly. While charging a huge amount of electric vehicles at the same time or during peak hours might affect the electrical grid because of the sudden surge of electric demand. …”

Lane-aware image enhancement for lane detection in rain (part A) by Zeng, Lanning

“…In this project, we mainly developed two methods to detect objects on the road, such as trucks, passenger cars, road signs, etc. The first method is to use Faster R-CNN algorithm to test rainy images; the second method is to use SDD algorithm to test dataset. …”
