THE TRANSCALAR POLITICS AND SPATIAL IMPLICATIONS OF INVESTMENTS IN SHOPPING MALLS IN AFRICAN CITIES: A Study of Accra's West Hills Mall, Ghana

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract A surge in the number of shopping malls across many African cities reflects capital's responses to the continent's growing middle class and deepening neoliberal globalization. This article develops an analysis of the transcalar nature of these urban investments using the case of the West Hills Mall (WHM) in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (

Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-38, March 2025.
Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.

Without Scratching the Surface: Depth Profiling Compositional Muon Analysis of Ancient Faience From Egypt and Sudan

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific depth‐profiling capabilities of the muonic x‐ray emission spectroscopy (μ‐XES) technique have proved to be effective for examination of the elemental distribution within ancient coins. This ‘layered’ analysis can also be applied to the examination of ancient faience, the production of which can result in distinct layers (glaze ...

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Waste Minimisation of Ceramic Wall Tiles

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
Many wastes are commonly produced during the ceramic tiles manufacturing process such as: Roller kiln grinding waste, cyclone dust waste, and ceramic sludge. Those wastes are landfilled because they have been predictable to be less conducive to recycling.

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.
