Abstract We introduce a model of opinion dynamics based on networked nonlinear differential equations. The model combines a linear attraction with a repulsive hyperbolic tangent interaction, labelled controversialness . For low controversialness, the model displays universal cons...

UAS engagement decision modelling for directed energy systems
The problem of countering swarms of uncrewed aerial systems has become of increased importance in modern military settings. This is because small and agile uncrewed aerial systems may be deployed quite easily and used for destroying infrastructure or attacking enemy positions. Su...

Experimental investigation of ship airwake with wave-induced motions
The turbulent airwake over a moving ship is experimentally investigated in a wind-wave facility using a 1:200 scaled NATO-GD model. Three motion scenarios are examined: heaving, pitching, and combined motions, naturally driven by incoming waves. Particle Image Velocimetry measure...

Abstract Propagating waves on the ocean surface can be represented as a stochastic process whose statistics are characterized by a spectrum. This paper reviews methods for measuring the wave spectrum and related quantities. Observations begin by sensing fluid dynamical properties...

How to Benchmark Post-Quantum Accelerators
With the recent standardisation of several post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms, there is an increased focus within the hardware research community to investigate efficient accelerator designs. However, it is difficult to determine whether the reported results are directly...

INTRODUCTION: Global increases in occupational heat exposure are raising concerns about worker safety and cognitive performance during prolonged and repeated shifts. At present, the cumulative effects of repeated heat exposure on cognitive performance remain unclear. This explora...
