Trading Zones Between Thick and Thin: Anthropological Description as Scaffold or Mosaic
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 159-170, March 2026.ABSTRACT Referring to the work of historian of science Peter Galison, I argue that anthropology requires thin description as an essential counterpart for thick description. Thin accounts provide the scaffolding within which thick descriptions sit. Galison uses the idea of a “trading zone” connecting different communities who, despite their differences (

Toward Psychometric Learning Analytics: Augmenting the Urnings Algorithm with Response Times
Journal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 1, Spring 2026.Abstract Adaptive learning systems (ALS) aim to tailor the educational material to match the student's needs, ultimately improving the learning outcomes. An ALS dynamically adjust the level of practice based on the student's ability; therefore, obtaining accurate ability estimates is crucial.

Ergodic behaviour of nonconventional ergodic averages for commuting transformations
, 2017 Based on T.Tao's result of norm convergence of multiple ergodic averages for commut-ing transformation, we obtain there is a subsequence which converges almost everywhere. Meanwhile, the ergodic behaviour, which the time average is equal to the space average, of diagonal measures is obtained and we give different result according to the classification ...

A Mixture Transition Distribution Modeling for Higher‐Order Circular Markov Processes
Journal of Time Series Analysis, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 304-320, March 2026.ABSTRACT This study considers the stationary higher‐order Markov process for circular data by employing the mixture transition distribution modeling. The underlying circular transition distribution is based on Wehrly and Johnson's bivariate joint circular models.

Cointegrating Polynomial Regressions With Power Law Trends
Journal of Time Series Analysis, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 331-344, March 2026.ABSTRACT The common practice in cointegrating polynomial regressions (CPRs) often confines nonlinearities in the variable of interest to stochastic trends, thereby overlooking the possibility that they may be caused by deterministic components. As an extension, we propose univariate and multivariate CPRs that incorporate power law deterministic trends.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 500-520, February 2026.ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami evacuation towers have been constructed in coastal regions based on worst‐case predictions to provide additional safety margins against unprecedented tsunamis. However, the extent to which such assumptions effectively reduce casualty risk remains unclear.

Research on Three‐Dimensional Autonomous Obstacle Avoidance Path Planning Methods for UAVs
Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 2, February 2026.This study presents a three‐dimensional autonomous obstacle‐avoidance path planning method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)‐enhanced Mayfly Algorithm. The traditional Mayfly Algorithm suffers from issues such as random initial population generation and slow convergence.

New Policies Exploiting Randomness of Lead Times in Inventory Systems
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 77-98, February 2026.ABSTRACT Recent research provided proof‐of‐concept that the randomness of lead times in inventory systems can be exploited to achieve large—potentially unlimited—performance improvements, compared to the case of constant lead time. Specifically, the Generalized Base Stock (GBS) policy serves as such proof‐of‐concept—it can deliver unlimited ...

British Journal of Health Psychology, Volume 31, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Objectives The intention–behaviour gap (IBG) remains a persistent challenge in health psychology. While intentions are widely recognized as proximal determinants of behaviour, they frequently fail to translate into action. This conceptual review aims to critically evaluate dominant models of the IBG and propose a dynamic, multidimensional ...

Ergodic Measure Preserving Transformations of Finite Type
Tokyo Journal of Mathematics, 1988 Let T be an invertible ergodic measure preserving (e.m.p.) transformation of an infinite \(\sigma\)-finite Lebesgue measure space (X,\({\mathcal B},m)\). A set W is called weakly wandering (w.w.) if there exists a strictly increasing sequence \((n_ i)\) of integers such that \(T^{n_ i}W\cap T^{n_ j}W=\emptyset\) for \(i\neq j\); and \((n_ i)\) is ...
