Cities Under Pressure: Evidence on Tourism Growth and Neighbourhood Change in Europe
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Across European cities, the rapid growth of tourism is reshaping urban life in increasingly contested ways. While the sector continues to support local economies, it is also increasingly associated with the sense that neighbourhoods are becoming less liveable for residents.

, 2012 Spatial spread of minority carriers produced by optical excitation in semiconductors is usually well described by a diffusion equation. The classical diffusion process can be viewed as a result of a random walk of particles in which every step has the ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Multi-criteria Scheduling in Parallel Environment with Learning Effect
Foundations of Computing and Decision SciencesThis paper is devoted to the study of a multi-criteria scheduling problem on unrelated processors with machines’ learning effect, with the goal of minimizing makespan, machine cost and maximal flow-time simultaneously, which is an NP-hard problem.

The American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The transport sector is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, making it a key priority for climate mitigation policies. In this context, renewable fuels represent a promising complementary pathway to transport electrification, particularly due to their compatibility with existing internal combustion engine ...
