The great problems are in the street : a phenomenology of men's stranger intrusions on women in public spaces by Vera-Gray, Fiona

“…Secondly it explores reconnecting feminist research on VAWG to women’s ordinary experience of men’s intrusion, revealing how the necessary focus on policy has led to a steep rise in knowledge about some forms of VAWG to the detriment of investigating men’s violence and intrusion in women’s everyday lives. …”

Prescriptive analytics models for vessel inspection planning in maritime transportation by Yang, Ying, Yan, Ran., Wang, Shuaian

“…The inspection process involves identifying high-risk vessels, allocating surveyors, and conducting onboard checks. This study aims to optimize the selection and assignment process through a two-stage framework, balancing the benefits of identifying deficiencies against the costs of inspection delays. …”

Flexible optical fiber probe for surface roughness evaluation of internal channels in additively manufactured components by Subbarao, Guru Prasad Arudi, Haridas, Aswin, Patinharekandy, Prabhathan, Kapur, Pulkit, Chan, Kelvin, Matham, Murukeshan Vadakke

“…However, being a stochastic process, there is minimal control over the surface quality and thus require adequate quality checks before implementation. In this context, this paper investigates a flexible optical fiber probe and speckle correlation measurements to quantitatively estimate the average surface roughness, Ra, of areas within internal channels. …”
