Differentiable Randers‐Finsler Eikonal Solvers

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Fast and differentiable solvers for anisotropic and asymmetric distance fields are a key primitive in geometry processing, enabling gradient‐based optimization over metrics, drift fields, and downstream objectives that depend on geodesic distances and geodesics.

Pro‐environment behaviors, invasive plant management, and the gap between motivations for behavioral intention and action

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Invasive plant species pose significant challenges to natural resources and communities around the world. However, invasive plant management may require different motivations than other pro‐environmental behaviors because mitigation of invasive plants often comes at high individual cost, has limited effectiveness when undertaken in isolation, and ...

Strategic organisational improvising: Designing flexibility through planned incompleteness

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Traditional perspectives on strategic planning are often grounded in relatively static, overly detailed assumptions and frameworks about futures. Strategic organisational improvising is a critical process for organisations charting a way through complex, rapidly changing environments.

Firefighting Ethics : Principlism for Burning Issues

, 2009
The ethics of firefighting is a seriously underexplored field. This is unfortunate, since firefighting raises issues of great social importance and has the potential to inform moral theorizing.

The End of DEI

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is one of the most polarizing issues in business and society. Advocates claim that DEI enhances fairness, while critics argue it undermines meritocracy. The problems often stem from the practice of DEI—reducing it to demographic diversity—rather than its principle.

Computer vision based early fire-detection and firefighting mobile robots oriented for onsite construction

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management
Fires are one of the most dangerous hazards and the leading cause of death in construction sites. This paper proposes a video-based firefighting mobile robot (FFMR), which is designed to patrol the desired territory and will constantly observe for fire ...

Optimizing equity and efficiency in the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This study addresses the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem, formulated as the strategic prepositioning of a heterogeneous aerial firefighting fleet across capacity‐constrained airbases. A novel bi‐objective model is proposed that simultaneously optimizes efficiency (aggregate risk‐weighted accessibility) and equity (minimized ...

Genotoxic Damage and microRNA Dysregulation in Firefighters: An Integrated Biomonitoring Case Study

Journal of Xenobiotics
Firefighters are potentially exposed to multiple harmful substances, and their activities are classified as carcinogenic to humans. This case study assessed early genotoxic damage (fpg-comet and BMCyt assays) and epigenetic alterations (seven circulating

Leaders' Functional Specialization and Responses to Institutional Shifts during Crises: Evidence from the Pandemic

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Prior studies on crisis management often highlight the adaptiveness of generalist leaders, whose diverse functional experiences allow for flexible and innovative responses. However, we propose that in situations where crises lead to abrupt shifts in dominant institutional pressures, leaders with specialized functional backgrounds potentially ...

Lightweight Fire Detection Algorithm YOLO-LRP for UAV Firefighting

Applied Sciences
This paper proposes a lightweight fire detection algorithm, YOLO-LRP, for UAV firefighting scenarios. The algorithm is improved based on YOLOv10, where the MobileOne reparameterized backbone is adopted to reduce computational complexity. The OREPA module
