Decentralized lateral and longitudinal control of vehicle platoons with constant headway spacing

The formation of platoons, where groups of vehicles follow each other at close distances, has the potential to increase road capacity. In this paper, a decentralized control approach is presented that extends the well-known constant headway vehicle following approach to the two-dimensional case, i.e., lateral control is included in addition to the longitudinal control. The presented control scheme

Probing compositional engineering effects on lead-free perovskiteinspired nanocrystal thin films using correlative nonlinear optical microscopy

We introduce the use of correlative third-harmonic generation and multiphoton-induced luminescence microscopy to investigate the impact of manganese (Mn) doping to bismuth (Bi)-based perovskite-inspired nanocrystal thin films. The technique was found to be extremely sensitive to the microscopic features of the perovskite film and its structural compositions, allowing the unambiguous detection of c

One of my research questions is how ludo-immersive opera can be understood and interpreted. Reich of Ran was conceived as an etude of how to design comprehensible rules for playing visitors. This developed into a turn-based ’micro opera’ with forked paths. Each visitor got to experience the opera alone with the opera character (played by me) and a live-electronic musician. Thus, there could be no

Experiences of the use of portfolio in dental education - A qualitative meta-ethnographic literature review

INTRODUCTION: Portfolio with a collection of evidence has become popular in higher education, including dental education. It is valuable to study the experiences of the use and implementation processes. Meta-ethnography can be a suitable method to analyse, synthesize and construct interpretations of qualitative research. Our aim was to explore experiences from the use of a portfolio/e-portfolio in

Experts, activists, and girl bosses of the nuclear apocalypse: feminisms in security discourse

Having long been regarded as irrelevant to the high politics of foreign affairs, feminism and gender equality have in recent years gained increased attention in international security debates, including discussions about nuclear weapons policy. Several governments have adopted official feminist foreign policy postures, international security institutions have launched inquiries into gender equity

Atomic aesthetics: gender, visualization and popular culture in Egypt

How was the atomic age visualized in Egypt in the years immediately after the creation of the bomb? What role did gendered images, symbols and metaphors play in narrating and normalizing nuclear technology? How can these help us understand nuclear policy today? This article engages visual and textual media, including satirical magazines, cultural journals and film. It presents a plurality of image

Hiroshima in Egypt: interpretations and imaginations of the atomic age

This article focuses on Egyptian interpretations of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the US at the end of the Second World War. It surveys the reactions and responses of influential thinkers between 1945 and 1951, a crucial period prior to decolonisation. The objective of this research is to capture a specific moment in time and understand how it shaped imaginations of the future.

Casting the Atomic Canon: (R)evolving Nuclear Strategy

Looming decisions on arms control and strategic weapon procurements in a range of nuclear-armed states are set to shape the international security environment for decades to come. In this context, it is crucial to understand the concepts, theories, and debates that condition nuclear policymaking. This review essay dissects the four editions of The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy, the authoritative i

Seizing Nuclear Tehran: Obstacles to Understanding Iranian Nuclear Activities

In this article, we interrogate some of the central assumptions in the literature on Iran's nuclear behavior, including the role of the United States as a benevolent hegemon, the revisionist character of the Iranian government, the utility and efficacy of sanctions, and the widespread assumption that Iran is bent on obtaining and even using the bomb. We maintain that contemporary debates on the Ir

Misremembering the ACRS: Economic Imaginations and Nuclear Negotiations in the Middle East

This article examines the political economy of Arab-Israeli peacemaking in the first half of the 1990s, specifically the multilateral working group on Arms Control and Regional Security (ACRS). It focuses on the misplaced memorialization of the ACRS process as a lost opportunity for the establishment of a nuclear weapons free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East, which has resulted in a continuous “retu

Freedom and Peace in the Shopping Centre: The Politics of Consumerism and Securitism in Israel/Palestine

Shopping centres are products and indicators of consumerism. In the case of Israel/Palestine, where shopping malls have spread since the mid-1980s, they have acquired political meanings beyond the widespread conception of consumer-choice-as-freedom, as they also claim to advance coexistence in a context marked by ethnic segregation. We perceive shopping centres as ‘non-places’, following the work

Making Cheaper Labor: Domestic Outsourcing and Development in the Galilee

This article focuses on the rise of domestic outsourcing in the high-tech industry in the Galilee in northern Israel. Outsourcing has emerged as a self-proclaimed mode of development targeting Palestinian citizens of Israel. This industry has expanded significantly in the past decade, attracting lucrative funds from public and private sources, and it has received widespread acclaim. Firms in this

Les milices chiites irakiennes se sont mobilisées rapidement après la déroute de l’armée irakienne face à Daech en 2014. Elles minimisent le rôle joué par les États-Unis dans les reculs actuels de l’organisation djihadiste. Elles entendent peser sur l’avenir de l’Irak, et investissent notamment le champ de l’éducation. Ces milices sont loin d’être unifiées. Si certaines ont des affiliations très c

Palestinians in Israel: Neoliberal Contestations and Class Formation

Palestinian citizens of Israel (also known as Palestinians of 1948) have largely been excluded from analyses on Palestinian political economy and on discussions of Israeli capitalism. This chapter seeks to address this invisibility. Palestinians in Israel face conditions of settler colonialism and neoliberalism that may be distinct from Palestinians elsewhere, yet their history and indigenous stat

À la veille de la conférence de révision du Traité de non-prolifération nucléaire (TNP) en avril 2020, la question nucléaire au Moyen-Orient reste un défi à relever. Les discussions qui ont eu lieu lors des réunions préparatoires traduisent des tensions continues concernant la clause adoptée en 1995 qui prévoit l’établissement d’une zone exempte d’armes nucléaires au Moyen-Orient. Cette clause con
