SMART CITY CONTROL ROOMS: The Rewiring of Local Governance Landscapes in India
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Smart city control rooms are prominent components of the smart city discourse. They embody a long‐standing dream to visualize and manage multiple urban processes in real time through the collation of data flows. Previous research has produced important insights into the design, construction and operation of these facilities.

STREETS AS STAGES: Traffic Enforcement and the Competition for Cultural Growth in China
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In keeping with China’s desire to build soft power to parallel its economic growth, the policing of city streets has moved to the forefront as a mechanism for moral regulation and improving urban prestige. Under pressure to civilize their citizenry, many Chinese cities have become entrepreneurial cities within a type of cultural growth ...

Rebuilding the Ladder? Contemporary Contests Over Industrial Policy
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Does the greater embrace of industrial policy globally signal the emergence of a New Washington Consensus? We show that the multiplication of industrial policies, while consequential, signals neither normalisation nor consensus. Rather, industrial policy is increasingly the object of contestation over norms and practices of state ...

Synchronization of an Uncertain Duffing Oscillator with Higher Order Chaotic Systems
International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2018 The problem of practical synchronization of an uncertain Duffing oscillator with a higher order chaotic system is considered. Adaptive control techniques are used to obtain chaos synchronization in the presence of unknown parameters and bounded ...

ALTAA: Analysis of long‐term activity patterns in ant colonies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Collective behaviours are a fascinating study area due to the emergent properties that can only arise in groups of interacting individuals. However, their quantitative study is often impaired by technical difficulties, creating either low‐quality and sparse data or impractical data amounts, particularly when capturing large groups over long ...

Synchronizing spatiotemporal chaos by introducing a finite flat region in the local map
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2001 An approach to synchronize spatiotemporal chaos is proposed. It is achieved by introducing a finite flat region in the local map. By using this scheme, a number of orbits in both the drive and the response subsystems are forced to pass through a fixed ...

Different Synchronization Schemes for Chaotic Rikitake Systems
International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2013 This paper presents the chaos synchronization by designing a different type of controllers. Firstly, we propose the synchronization of bi-directional coupled chaotic Rikitake systems via hybrid feedback control.

Can riots represent? A democratic theory
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Political theory has been perennially concerned with interrogating, identifying, and clarifying the political functions of riots. Yet, political theorists have mostly fallen short of explaining the relationship between riots and democracy, although this is central to the democratic theory of contestation and crucial for evaluating the ...

Boreas, EarlyView.Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.
