THE VIOLENCE OF FULL COST RECOVERY: Financing Water Infrastructure, and the History and Future of Perpetual Crisis in Mombasa

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Foregrounding the role of finance, this article examines the historical production and future trajectory of the urban water crisis in Mombasa. Drawing on archival research and contemporary fieldwork, it traces how principles of full cost recovery—institutionalized during the colonial period and later reworked through postcolonial ...

Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over

CFO overconfidence, environmental violations, and firm performance. The moderating role of constituency statutes

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the relationship between Chief Financial Officer (CFO) overconfidence and firm performance through the lens of environmental violations and constituency statutes. Drawing on stakeholder and upper echelons theories, we find that firms with overconfident CFOs are more likely to commit environmental violations, which ...

Reengaging Criminology in Regulation and Governance: A Synergistic Research Agenda on Regulatory Guardianship

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent literature calls for scholars to bridge the divide that has emerged between criminology and regulation and governance. In the current work, we propose that criminological opportunity theories provide one fruitful pathway to that end.

The quantitative description of gas-cut degree in deepwater drilling

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2016
Through the analysis of gas-cut features in deepwater drilling and shortages of existing gas-cut detection methods, the feasibility of early detection of gas cut at the bottom of riser was demonstrated, and a method was proposed for quantitative ...

Physics‐Constrained Variational Autoencoder for Uncertainty Quantification of Full Waveform Inversion

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract We propose a variational autoencoder framework to directly assess uncertainties in subsurface models produced by single‐ and multiparameter full waveform inversion (FWI). The new method does not require pretraining on labeled data, thus it significantly reduces computational cost and storage requirements.

The Reverse Risk Register Approach to Understanding Systemic Factors in Risk Analysis and Management Case Studies

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Although recent developments have improved clarity on the characteristics of high‐quality risk science, there is recognition that many of those characteristics relate to specific tasks taken by the risk analyst. However, the effectiveness of risk analysis and management often relies on both internal risk team activities and other external ...
