    Strategy for vertical deformation of railway bridge monitoring using polarimetric ground-based real aperture radar system

    The health monitoring of infrastructure is vital for ensuring the safety and structural integrity of bridges. Recently, ground-based real aperture radar (GB-RAR) systems have been successfully utilized in the dynamic and static monitoring of bridges. In this study, a comprehensive and innovative approach is presented to monitor the vertical deformation of a long-span metallic railway bridge and a reinforced concrete Shinkansen bridge in Japan using a polarimetric GB-RAR system. Distinct from conventional signal processing procedures, the proposed method omits the coherent scatterer selection step. Instead, polarization analysis is employed to evaluate the properties of scatterers and identify those corresponding to bridge sections requiring monitoring, while considering the structural characteristics of the bridge. Simultaneously, the signal-to-noise ratio for monitoring is enhanced by combining co-polarization responses from scatterers. Furthermore, the radar look angle is determined by accounting for the s

    Head game

    No full text
    Head Game is an immersive computer game exploring the intricate relationship between body and mind, and the dissociation of one from the other. Players are tasked with aligning disjointed elements of their virtual selves, navigating the mind-body split. In a comedic, tragic iteration of an ultimately futile task, heads quietly but catastrophically slink past bodies. Crude and unembellished in its form, the game evokes the dissociation and dissonance of grappling with the challenges of chronic illness, long COVID, mortality, grief and loss

    Typological and cumulative approaches to risk and adversity in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) : retrospective cohort analysis in South London

    No full text
    Childhood adversity is robustly associated with mental ill-health. Yet questions remain about how different ways of conceptualising adversity relate to psychiatric diagnoses and service activity. This research aims to examine associations between typological and cumulative conceptualisations of adversity, and psychiatric diagnosis and service activity
