We propose 6DGS to estimate the camera pose of a target RGB image given a 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) model representing the scene. 6DGS avoids the iterative process typical of analysis-by-synthesis methods (e. g.iNeRF) that also require an initiali...

The Lancashire Plague Petitions (2024)
Journal Article
Anderson, R. (2024). The Lancashire Plague Petitions. American Historical Review, 129(4), 1640-1667. https://doi.org/10.1093/ahr/rhae465

Historians typically explore the resilience of past societies in terms of large-scale outcomes like population levels. In contrast, this paper explores the process of recovering from outbreaks of plague in smaller communities, households, and even by... Read More about The Lancashire Plague Petitions.

A Triband Wearable Antenna for Location Tracking Using Cospas-Sarsat and GNSS (2025)

Sheik, R. A., Al-Hadi, A. A., Sabapathy, T., Simorangkir, R. B. V. B., Khan, R., Akkaraekthalin, P., Isa, C. M. N. C., Padmanathan, S., Hossain, T. M., & Soh, P. J. (online). A Triband Wearable Antenna for Location Tracking Using Cospas-Sarsat and GNSS. IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation, https://doi.org/10.1109/ojap.2025.3553440

This paper presents the design of a tri-band antenna operating in the Cospas-Sarsat (C-S) and GPS/GNSS bands applicable for the Internet of Things (IoT). Implemented with flexible and robust materials, the antenna operates in three distinct frequenci... Read More about A Triband Wearable Antenna for Location Tracking Using Cospas-Sarsat and GNSS.

Information Hazards as Activity and Content: A Grounded Account of Dis/Misinformation (2025)
Journal Article
El Mawas, O. (online). Information Hazards as Activity and Content: A Grounded Account of Dis/Misinformation. Episteme, https://doi.org/10.1017/epi.2024.56

The study of dis/misinformation is currently in vogue, however with much ambiguity about what the problem precisely is, and much confusion about the key concepts that are brought to bear on this problem. My aim of this paper is twofold. First, I will... Read More about Information Hazards as Activity and Content: A Grounded Account of Dis/Misinformation.
