Easing the Burden? Religiosity and Educational Inequality in Pain Interference

open access: yesJournal for the Scientific Study of Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A consistent inverse gradient in pain prevalence is typically observed across educational strata. Religion stands out as a source of social and personal support that may moderate the amount of chronic pain interference but may do so differently across the educational spectrum.

Difference‐Making Under Metaphysical Indeterminacy

open access: yesPhilosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many of the most pressing moral problems we face involve collective harms generated by large numbers of individually insignificant actions. Unlike triggering cases—where a threshold exists such that a single act could be decisive—non‐triggering cases lack any such sharp cutoff.

A Study on the application of genetic algorithms on the Dial-A-Ride Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP) is a vehicle routing problem faced in arranging Dial-a-Ride services. The DARP has been proven a NP-Hard problem; therefore, most research has used heuristic solution methods to address this issue. The purpose of this study

How FDI reshapes host markets’ trade profile and politics

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 1097-1114, July 2026.
Abstract A fast‐growing literature indicates that firms’ engagement in foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade is key to understanding deepening global value chains and their political implications. However, existing studies have mainly focused on the ramifications for FDI home countries while often overlooking the firm‐product level interactions ...

Subset‐Row Inequalities and Unreachability in Path‐Based Formulations for Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Problems

open access: yesNetworks, Volume 87, Issue 2, Page 111-130, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This work considers branch‐price‐and‐cut algorithms for variants of the vehicle‐routing problem in which subset‐row inequalities (SRIs) are used to strengthen the linear relaxation. SRIs often help to substantially reduce the size of the branch‐and‐bound search tree.

Mercy Consent and Contained Resistance: Grievance Systems in Chinese Food‐Delivery Platforms

open access: yesNew Technology, Work and Employment, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 100-115, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Based on a multi‐methods qualitative study, this article investigates how in‐platform grievance systems operate in the Chinese food‐delivery platform work. Drawing on labour process theory, we examine the role of in‐platform grievance systems in shaping the dynamic interplay between control, consent, and resistance. Our findings reveal that in‐

Adaptive Protection Coordination for Microgrids Using Dual‐Setting Directional Overcurrent Relays: A Real‐Time HIL Validation Approach

open access: yesIET Generation, Transmission &Distribution, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This research presents a robust protection coordination strategy using dual‐setting directional overcurrent relays (DS‐DOCRs) and a novel optimisation approach to address challenges in adaptive protection. A modified objective function, incorporating primary and backup relay operating times along with coordination time intervals (CTIs), is designed to ...
