“When something is wrong we write it”: The portrayal of female genital mutilation in children’s literature (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 BY BOOKBIRD, INC. Focusing on Williams-Garcia’s No Laughter Here (2004) and Craigie’s What Was Never Said (2015), this article questions their representation of female genital mutilation (FGM). It considers the use of voice, writing, and siste... Read More about “When something is wrong we write it”: The portrayal of female genital mutilation in children’s literature.

An approach for Knoop and Vickers indentations to measure equi-biaxial residual stresses and material properties: A comprehensive comparison (2019)
Journal Article

A residual stress analysis is indispensable to anticipate engineering structure loading conditions. For this purpose, there are various methods, including indentation technique, a non-destructive test, which also enables us to measure material proper...

Fatigue behaviour of pseudo-ductile unidirectional thin-ply carbon/epoxy-glass/epoxy hybrid composites (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Authors This paper is the first detailed investigation of the fatigue behavior of pseudo-ductile unidirectional (UD)thin-ply interlayer hybrids made of thin-ply carbon/epoxy plies sandwiched between standard thickness glass/epoxy plies und...

Adaptive neural network control of underactuated surface vessels with guaranteed transient performance: Theory and experimental results (2019)
Journal Article

In this paper, an adaptive trajectory tracking
control algorithm for underactuated unmanned surface
vessels (USVs) with guaranteed transient performance is
proposed. To meet the realistic dynamical model of USVs,
we consider that the mass and dam... Read More about Adaptive neural network control of underactuated surface vessels with guaranteed transient performance: Theory and experimental results.

Ecosystem service assessment of selected wetlands of Kolkata and the Indian Gangetic Delta: multi-beneficial systems under differentiated management stress (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, The Author(s). A structured literature review using the search term ‘ecosystem services’ found few relevant studies relating to three contrasting wetlands in West Bengal: the unpopulated Sudhanyakhali Island in the Sundarbans National Park, t...

Venue2Vec: An efficient embedding model for fine-grained user location prediction in geo-social networks (2019)
Journal Article

Geo-Social Networks (GSN) significantly improve location-aware capability of services by offering geo-located content based on the huge volumes of data generated in the GSN. The problem of user location prediction based on user-generated data in GSN...

Formulating emancipatory discourses and reconstructing resistance: A positive discourse analysis of Sukarno’s speech at the first Afro-Asian conference (2019)
Journal Article

In this article, we analyze a seven-page speech delivered by Sukarno, first president of Indonesia, at the opening of the First Asia-Africa Conference where he advocated Afro-Asian unity/ solidarity as the panacea for colonialism, imperialism, and ne...
