Reliably detecting and discriminating mines, booby traps, and victim operated improvised explosive devices remains a stubborn problem for both humanitarian demining organizations and the military. Since mines were widely ...
Victim operated explosive devices (VOEDs) such as mines and booby traps, have been an enduring problem since their large-scale use started in the 1940s. While the overall problem is often known about in general terms, the ...
The potential of breast microcalcification chemistry to provide clinically valuable intelligence is being increasingly studied. However, acquisition of crystallographic details has, to date, been limited to high brightness, ...
Barker, Stephen G.(The International Academic Forum (IAFOR), 2023-11-11)
As the nature of engineering concepts, products and processes becomes more intricate and detailed, so the task of understanding, managing and implementing them becomes more complex. This paper takes one such development ...
Barker, Stephen G.(The International Academic Forum (IAFOR), 2022-11-15)
Advances in technological detail and sophistication have resulted in more complex products, systems and services which can be more difficult for individuals to conceptualise and understand. This eventuality has potential ...

The Iceberg as initially proposed by Schein is often used when considering organizational culture and to try to understand
what leads to visible behaviors and actions through surfacing the assumptions, values and beliefs ...
Clemente, Carmine; Balleri, Alessio(IET - The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2024-01-29)
It is our great pleasure to present you with this IET Radar, Sonar and Navigation special issue on the ‘Selected Papers from RADAR 2022—International Conference on Radar Systems (Edinburgh, UK)’.
RADAR 2022 took place ...
In 1688 two sculptural fragments, a head of bearded man and a head of an unbearded youth, arrived in Copenhagen, sent from Athens as a gift to King Christian 5. They were placed in the Royal Kunstkammer, their provenance ...

Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a serious medical condition, which requires immediate attention to establish the cause of the bleeding. Here, we present the development of a miniaturised electrochemical impedance ...
Strawboard has been utilised as a fragmentation capture material since the 1960s, mainly employed to capture fragments from explosives and explosive devices from arena trials of munitions. As this material has historically ...
The total body score (TBS) is a visual scoring method to scale the succession of decomposition stages. It compares decomposition between cadavers, to connect it with external taphonomic factors and estimate the post-mortem ...
Introduction: Flatfoot is a condition commonly seen in children; however, there is general disagreement over its incidence, characterization and correction. Painful flatfoot accompanied with musculoskeletal and soft tissue ...
This thesis addresses the problem of using radar to extract interpretable information
concerning both the structure and electrical properties of a wall, and the environment
behind it. This is broken down into two ...
As the complexity of digital forensic work continues to grow, and the demands and pressures placed on practitioners to complete their investigatory commitments remain, methods for conducting effective and efficient work ...
The occurrence of errors in forensic practice is inevitable, and whilst we may not feel comfortable with the idea, the truth of it must be acknowledged. At a time where forensic science is under intense scrutiny regarding ...
Since Mine Action's inception at the end of the 1980s, operators have collected limited data on the Victim Operated Explosive Devices (VOEDs) they clear. This includes not only data on the explosive ordnance itself but ...
Read, James; McNaught, Ken; Hazael, Rachael; Critchley, Richard(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2024-02-22)
Soft tissue simulants are traditionally used to provide a post impact medium suitable for replicating human anatomy. Performance of materials is therefore paramount, and the analysis of such experimentation relies on ...
A radar network solution to detect drones is presented that consists of low-cost low-size dual-channel moving receivers, which can be deployed on UASs and operate within the coverage of an existing cooperative or non-cooperative ...
Organisations increasingly invest in resilience to better deal with future uncertainties and change. An organisation’s training service is one of the critical ingredients of this effort. However, its role in posturing ...
