In this work, we simulate barchan swarms using the Two-Flank Agent-Based Model and investigate how changes to model parameters and environmental drivers lead to different swarm dynamics.In particular, we explore how the parameter qshift, which controls the rate of equilibration between the flanks of an Spring asymmetric dune and thereby the stabili

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in healthcare and medicine have increased in recent years.To enable access to personal data, Trusted Research Environments (TREs) (otherwise known as Safe Havens) provide safe and secure environments in which researchers can access sensitive personal data and develop AI (in particular machine
Short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging has significant advantages in challenging propagation conditions where the effectiveness of visible-light and thermal imaging is limited.Object tracking in SWIR imaging is particularly difficult due to lack of color information, but also because of occlusions and maneuvers of the tracked object.This paper proposes
Tubular structural systems are one of the most common types of systems in high-rise structures.In the early days of this system, there were imperfections in Slim Wallet its design which were overcome over time.The most important modification to rectify these defects is the use of a series of internal frames in addition to the peripheral frames and
