Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting

Perspectives on Climate Change in Education for Sustainability: Linking Concepts and Skills for a Practical Ecological Transition

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...

Harnessing the Folding of Antitumor Peptides for Controlled Carrier‐Free Drug Delivery

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A disulfide‐bridged stapled p53 α‐helix co‐assembled with doxorubicin into protease‐resistant nanocomplexes. Reductive intracellular conditions induced helix refolding and nanostructure disassembly, which enabled the coordinated release of the chemotherapeutic agent and anticancer peptide.

COMMON SENSE LAW: Making Right/s in the Liberal City

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article, co‐authored by encampment and university scholars, is concerned with how homeless persons challenge rightlessness. We do so by advancing a conceptual framework of common sense law, arguing that such contestations take place not only in courtrooms but also in the lived spaces of homelessness.
