The arrival of over six million asylum seekers in Europe since 2011 has engendered profound and ongoing governance transformations, which this article examines through the understudied perspective seekers’ accommodation. uncovers unevenness accommodation standards across reception centres an Italian province, demonstrating how heterogeneity selectively dis/enables meaningful participation socia...

Application of wheeled mobile robots have gradually progressed from the confines of structured indoor environments to rough outdoor terrains. Material transport and exploration are some of the few areas where wheeled robots are required to navigate over uneven terrains. Stable and efficient navigation of wheeled robots over uneven terrains require a framework which can correctly ascertain the s...

In the present work, multiway principal component analysis (MPCA) fault detection method based on multiblock statistics (MBS) is developed for handling uneven-length batch processes. The first step is to obtain equal length batch records (stage I) and the uneven-length stage (stage II). Stage I is divided into p-1 smaller even-length sub-blocks. Stage II is regarded as a sub-block. The uneven-l...

With an increasing pressure on forested landscapes, conservation areas may fail to maintain biodiversity if they are not supported by the surrounding managed forest matrix. Worldwide, forests are managed by one of two broad approaches-even- and uneven-aged silviculture. In recent decades, there has been rising public pressure against the systematic use of even-aged silviculture (especially clea...

Although accelerometers are extensively used for assessing gait, limited research has evaluated the concurrent validity of these devices on less predictable walking surfaces or the comparability of different methods used for gravitational acceleration compensation. This study evaluated the concurrent validity of trunk accelerations derived from a tri-axial inertial measurement unit while walkin...

The effects of different management regimes on uneven-aged Douglas-fir stands in the Pacific Northwest of the United States were predicted with a simulation model. Management alternatives were defined by residual stand structure and cutting cycle. The residual stand structure was set by basal area–diameter-q-ratio (BDq) distributions, diameter-limit cuts (assuming concurrent stand improvement),...

The uneven illumination phenomenon caused by thin clouds will reduce the quality of remote sensing images, and bring adverse effects to the image interpretation. To remove the effect of thin clouds on images, an uneven illumination correction can be applied. In this paper, an effective uneven illumination correction algorithm is proposed to remove the effect of thin clouds and to restore the gr...

Objectives.  To examine the effect of using a common peroneal stimulator on an even and an uneven surface, and to compare measures with perceived response to stimulation. Method.  Participants had a drop-foot caused by a stroke (N = 13) or multiple sclerosis (N = 7) and had used a common peroneal stimulator for > 3 months prior to the study. Walking speed and physiological cost index (PCI) were...

This article studies the particle temperature distribution depending on the laser radiation power and the particle’s trajectory and velocity. The uneven heating of particles moving in the laser radiation field is identified. The regimes of laser heating without melting, with partial melting, and with complete particle melting are considered.
