World Englishes and applied linguistics: Theoretical and applied perspectives

World Englishes, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the evolving relationship between world Englishes (WE) and applied linguistics (AL), tracing AL's historical development from its Anglo‐American origins in the mid‐20th century, grounded in “linguistics applied” to its contemporary status as a multidisciplinary field concerned with social justice and equity. It highlights

On the Insertion Time of Cuckoo Hashing

, 2013
Cuckoo hashing is an efficient technique for creating large hash tables with high space utilization and guaranteed constant access times. There, each item can be placed in a location given by any one out of k different hash functions.

Adaptive Hybrid Multi‐Objective Evolutionary Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network Optimization: A Comprehensive Framework Integrating Opposition‐Based Learning and Levy Flight Strategies

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
The configuration of WSN design parameters presents a formidable multi‐objective optimization challenge characterized by five competing objectives that exhibit complex interdependencies. Figure 1 illustrates a typical WSN deployment topology showing sensor nodes, cluster heads, coverage areas, and various network conditions including out‐of‐range ...

Cascaded Tilt Control‐Based Frequency Regulation of Renewable Energy Integrated Three Area Power System With Smart Transformer

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Introducing a cascaded TI–TID secondary controller (SFO‐tuned) for a renewable‐integrated three‐area grid with HVDC and smart transformers modulating voltage‐dependent loads, achieving faster settling, lower overshoot, and robust frequency/tie‐line regulation under ±20% load changes versus conventional TI/TID baselines.

DeepAPT: Nation-State APT Attribution Using End-to-End Deep Neural Networks

, 2017
In recent years numerous advanced malware, aka advanced persistent threats (APT) are allegedly developed by nation-states. The task of attributing an APT to a specific nation-state is extremely challenging for several reasons.

Supporting cavity‐nesting birds in organic orchards and vineyards: Evaluating the use of artificial nest boxes

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
Artificial nest boxes increased nesting opportunities for birds when tailored to their ecological needs. More complex and heterogeneous landscapes with greater forest and shrub cover increased nest box use. Nest box placement height and management‐related factors also influenced their occupation.

Fifty Years of Bird Ringing Reveal Opposing Seasonal Responses of Migration Timing to Temperature and Rainfall on Hilbre Island

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study analyses 50 years of bird ringing data from Hilbre Bird Observatory to investigate how local weather affects migratory timing and stopover behaviour. A key novel finding is the interactive effect of temperature and rainfall—warmer conditions tend to advance arrivals, but simultaneous increases in rainfall can delay them, revealing opposing ...

A Novel Hybrid Recruit Simulated Annealing and Rat Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Permutation Flow Shop Scheduling

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Rat swarm position update mechanism in HRSA‐RSO, illustrating the collective exploration behavior around the prey target (A*, B*). ABSTRACT The permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSSP) is a classical NP‐hard problem that aims to determine an optimal job sequence across machines to minimize makespan.
