Berth allocation in a container port: using a continuous location space approach
This paper addresses the berth allocation problem in a multi-user container terminal. There are two typical schemes for berth allocation: one in discrete locations and the other in continuous locations.

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†
Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Predictive processing is an influential theoretical framework for understanding human and animal cognition. In the context of predictive processing, learning is often reduced to optimizing the parameters of a generative model with a predefined structure. This is known as Bayesian parameter learning.

Entering the Era of Directly Supporting Society With Observation‐Based Ocean Acidification Data
Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Ocean acidification is a growing concern for many nations around the world. However, our capacity to monitor changes in carbonate chemistry with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, has until now, been limited, which has impeded effective action and decision‐making at international, national, and regional levels.

Key Drivers for Offshore Wind Deployment in the Western United States
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT The western coast of the United States has abundant natural resources, including wind, sun, and water. Despite strong ocean winds, offshore wind energy (OSW) in the Western United States is in the early stages of technology development due largely to the deep water off the coast, which requires floating platforms rather than fixed‐bottom ...
