Battery Management System for Electric Garbage Compactor Trucks

IEEE Access
When garbage trucks perform garbage collection and compression operations, it is common to keep the engine idling and even increase the engine speed during garbage compression, which can lead to noise, air pollution, increased fuel consumption, and carbon emissions. Adopting an electric compression system can effectively reduce these issues.

Smart selective navigator (SSN): enhancing urban winter road maintenance through optimized arc routing with hard turn restrictions

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper introduces a novel heuristic method, the smart selective navigator (SSN), for addressing arc routing problems (ARPs) with a focus on integrating hard turn restrictions in urban winter operations. Addressing a significant gap in existing ARP methodologies, SSN seamlessly incorporates common side constraints, such as vehicle ...

Beyond the Binary of Formal and Informal: Negotiating Hybrid Land Control by Chinese Banana Entrepreneurs in Laos

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As transnational land investments continue to expand across the Global South, land governance in many settings is shifting from largely informal arrangements towards greater formalization. However, we know less about how entrepreneurs sustain and rework land control as host states tighten regulation and introduce new formal requirements and ...

Of Carcasses and Christ: Rereading the Repugnant Ecological Other

Journal of Religious Ethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay claims that a collection of hunting and fishing devotionals provincializes a common trope in environmental literatures: the figure of the repugnantly anti‐ecological conservative Protestant. A close reading of these texts reveals their authors’ and ideal audiences’ extensive knowledge of land and animal minds, which deflates their ...

Year‐round colony‐level differences in foraging behaviour and diel activity of yellow‐legged gulls from natural and urban colonies

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
GPS‐tracked yellow‐legged gulls from urban (Porto) and natural (Berlenga) colonies showed contrasting foraging strategies. Urban gulls remained near cities and followed human routines, while natural gulls foraged farther and used marine habitats. Abstract Urbanisation has led to increased populations of opportunistic species like gulls, driven by the ...
