Architecture After Forced Migration
… in the design of spaces after three causes of forced migration: natural disaster, conflict and urban development. The methodology is based on literature review which served as theoretical background to work in three design competitions related to shelter after natural disasters, refugee camps …

Though forced, still valid: Psychometric equivalence of forced-choice and single-statement measures
Forced choice (FC) measures are gaining popularity as an alternative assessment format to single statement (SS) measures due to their potential in reducing the impact of various response styles and faking. However, a fundamental question remains to be answered: do FC and SS instruments measure the …

Wetting kinetics in forced spreading
<p>"Under dynamic conditions, the dynamic contact angle (the angle that the liquid makes with the solid) of a liquid on a solid surface varies dramatically with substrate velocity from its equilibrium value. Experimental data of the dynamic contact angles for polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS or silicone …

FORCED DISPLACEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW
Forced displacement is one of the most pressing phenomena of our time. According to UNHCR data, the number of forcibly displaced persons worldwide increased from 18.2 million to 117.3 million between 1993 and 2024 – more than six times higher in thirty years. Despite the scale and severity of the …

Virtual forced splitting in multidimensional access methods
… high fanout. Its approach to doing this, by forced splitting, is shared by a collection of other structures, and in 1995 Freeston suggested a novel approach to mitigate the effects of forced splits, by executing them virtually. This approach has not been taken up widely, but we believe it …

Optimal Control of Weakly Forced Nonlinear Oscillators
<p>Optimal control of nonlinear oscillatory systems poses numerous theoretical and computational challenges. Motivated by applications in neuroscience, we develop tools and methods to synthesize optimal controls for nonlinear oscillators described by reduced order dynamical systems. Control of …
