Investigation of the Simplified Equivalent Circuit Model of the Post‐Arc Sheath Stage in DC Vacuum Circuit Breakers

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a simplified equivalent circuit model (ECM) for the post‐arc sheath stage in DC vacuum circuit breakers and outlines the method for calculating circuit parameters using the particle‐in‐cell Monte Carlo collision (PIC‐MCC) method. The post‐arc sheath is modelled as a parallel combination of a variable resistor and a variable

Environmentally induced stress affects fitness of bold and shy alike: A long‐term study of personality and feather corticosterone in Arctic‐breeding kittiwakes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Quantifying how individuals differ as their environment changes around them is crucial to predict population responses to climate change. By incorporating personality, physiology and life‐history the authors show that while environmental change is likely to impact the whole population equally, when individuals are most impacted will vary across the ...

Housing, Inequality and London

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Regional inequalities are deeply entrenched in the UK. London, and its wider region, is often seen as the beneficiary of these inequalities. The capital houses a disproportionate share of the nation's population and its economic output. But London is also home to higher levels of inequality, poverty and child poverty than anywhere else in the ...

Labour's Planning Reform: A View from London

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the English planning reform agenda of the Labour government elected in 2024. It frames London's outer boroughs as a critical lens through which to assess it. Drawing on the findings of the cross‐party Suburban Taskforce (2020–2022), the article has particular regard to the proposed reconfiguration of planning committees ...

Climate Change and (Mal)Adaptation in Tourism‐Intensive Alpine Regions

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Tourism, especially in winter, accounts for a large share of economic income in Alpine regions. At the same time, these regions are more severely affected by climate change, leading to shorter winter seasons and reduced snow cover. This presents a pressing issue for areas reliant on income from winter tourism through activities such as skiing.

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Towards an anthropology of acquisition: ‘How did you get that?’ Vers une anthropologie de l'acquisition : « Où as‐tu trouvé ça ? »

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The production‐distribution‐consumption triad has structured how anthropologists understand exchange for roughly a century. This article argues for expanding this triad to include an explicit focus on acquisition – the systems, processes, and practices of acquiring.
