ALL POSSIBLE PASTS: Heritage, Simulacra, and Gentrification in Seoul

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban heritage scholars have often criticized simulacra as ‘bad’ copies that degrade the ‘good’ model of the past through commercialization and gentrification. This article challenges such Platonic dichotomies of good/bad and model/copy, arguing that the binary of good heritage and bad simulacra is flawed because heritage is itself actualized ...

Deep Spatially Varying Coefficient Model for Interpolation of Non‐Stationary Meteorological Data

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 6, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In spatial statistics, the spatially varying coefficient model (SVCM) is widely applied in the analysis and interpolation of non‐stationary spatial data. By incorporating spatially varying coefficients, the model can capture spatial heterogeneity and provide an attractive interpretation of response‐covariate associations.

Review of regulation techniques of asphalt pavement high temperature for climate change adaptation

Journal of Infrastructure Preservation and Resilience, 2022
Asphalt pavement is vulnerable to the temperature rising and extremely high-temperature weather caused by climate change. The regulation techniques of asphalt pavement high temperature have become a growing concern to adapt to climate change.

A Multiple Soil Threats Assessment for Europe by 2050

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 9937-9952, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT European soils are exposed to multiple interacting soil threats (STs), challenging the European Commission's objective of restoring healthy soils by 2050. This study provides the first integrated EU‐scale projection of four major soil threats—soil compaction, soil organic carbon loss, soil erosion and soil sealing—under two IPCC climate ...

Equivalent Subsurface Thermal Characteristics for Heterogeneous Surfaces

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Land‐surface and atmospheric models often represent subgrid‐scale variability using a single set of effective properties. Estimating these equivalent properties is critical for predicting land‐atmosphere exchanges accurately, but challenging when materials with distinct radiative and thermal characteristics coexist, particularly in urban ...

Comparative analysis of empirical decomposition algorithms in predicting tire-pavement friction from asphalt surface textures: a Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) analysis

Discover Civil Engineering
The frictional properties of pavement are contingent on its surface texture, which consists of multiple scales that each contribute differently to friction generation at the tire-surface interface.

Evolution and Influence Analysis of Skid Resistance Performance in Steel Slag Ultra‐Thin Wearing Course Based on XGBoost‐SHAP Framework

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
An XGBoost‐SHAP framework accurately predicted skid resistance evolution in steel slag ultra‐thin wearing courses under accelerated loading. Surface texture amplitude (Rz, Rq) and loading cycles dominated BPN variation, while 50% steel slag replacement provided a cost‐effective balance between anti‐skid durability and material use.

A Sliding Time‐Window Energy Ratio Method for Weak Signal Enhancement of Deep Subgrade Voids in GPR Data

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
A sliding time‐window energy ratio method is proposed to enhance weak GPR reflections from deep pavement voids. By combining target‐window localization with same‐window normalization, STWER suppresses non‐target interference and improves defect localization, as demonstrated by numerical simulations and field cases verified by excavation and core ...
