Straddle carrier routing optimization at container terminals utilizing telemetry‐based prediction
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Efficient vehicle routing and scheduling for horizontal transport means on container terminals can reduce lead times and travel distances, resulting in fuel savings and productivity gains. We apply machine learning to emulate operational processes, bridging the gap between theoretical optimization models and real‐world practices at container ...

Changing Gender Relations in Canada: The Rise of Gender‐Neutral Forenames
Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue canadienne de sociologie, Volume 63, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT Historically, gender‐neutral or androgynous first names have been relatively rare, showing little sign of upward or downward temporal trend in Canada or elsewhere. Using digitized birth registration records from three provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario) and for all of Canada, we highlight a rise, beginning around 1990, in the ...
