The fireball of November 24, 1970, as the most probable source of the Ischgl meteorite
(2024)Meteoritics & Planetary ScienceThe discovery of the Ischgl meteorite unfolded in a captivating manner. In June 1976, a pristine meteorite stone weighing approximately 1 kg, fully covered with a fresh black fusion crust, was collected on a mountain road in the high-altitude Alpine environment. The recovery took place while clearing the remnants of a snow avalanche, 2 km northwest of the town of Ischgl in Austria. Subsequent to its retrieval, the specimen remained tucked ...Journal Article -
ID20-opportunities for inelastic X-ray scattering at extreme conditions
(2024)High Pressure ResearchOwing to the availability of bright X-rays sources such as the ESRF-EBS, inelastic X-ray scattering of samples contained in complex sample environments, including high pressure devices, has become feasible. Compared to well-established characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction or X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, inelastic X-ray scattering of samples under extreme conditions is a relatively novel probe. However, ...Review Article -
BOUNDING AND COMPUTING OBSTACLE NUMBERS OF GRAPHS
(2024)SIAM Journal on Discrete MathematicsAn obstacle representation of a graph G consists of a set of pairwise disjoint simply connected closed regions and a one-to-one mapping of the vertices of G to points such that two vertices are adjacent in G if and only if the line segment connecting the two corresponding points does not intersect any obstacle. The obstacle number of a graph is the smallest number of obstacles in an obstacle representation of the graph in the plane such ...Journal Article -
(Re-)negotiating Masculinities in the <i>Kampoeng</i>: Medical Mercenaries and the Aceh War, c. 1880-1890
(2024)Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth HistoryAround 300 physicians from Switzerland, the German as well as the Austro-Hungarian Empire joined the Dutch Colonial Army between 1814 and 1914. While their motives to volunteer in the first place could widely differ, many among them eagerly published on their experiences as medical officers 'Far East', presenting their alleged heroic deeds and the struggles they faced as medical men in the tropics to a broad readership in Germanophone ...Journal Article -
Adaptive Cruise Control Utilizing Noisy Multi-Leader Measurements: A Learning-Based Approach
(2024)IEEE OPEN JOURNAL OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMSA substantial number of vehicles nowadays are equipped with adaptive cruise control (ACC), which adjusts the vehicle speed automatically. However, experiments have found that commercial ACC systems which only detect the direct leader amplify the propagating disturbances in the platoon. This can cause severe traffic congestion when the number of ACC-equipped vehicles increases. Therefore, an ACC system which also considers the second leader ...Journal Article
