Trapped in the Cave: Toward a Platonic Theory of Ideology
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract This paper is about showing that Plato has a theory of ideology in the broadly Marxist sense of distorted self‐consciousness of social life. Focusing on the Allegory of the Cave and related passages in the Republic, the paper argues that in the Cave, Plato illustrates the social mediation of human psychology, which contributes to the soul's ...

Random‐key optimization for 2D irregular packing with reusable area evaluation
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The diverse constraints of industrial applications lead to variants of two‐dimensional (2D) irregular packing problems that require tailored solution methods. This paper addresses a real‐world industrial challenge by proposing a new problem definition, the maximum reusable contiguous area problem (MRCAP), and a novel metric, the maximum ...

Minimizing cutting costs in 1D rod cutting
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract We study a one‐dimensional rod‐cutting problem arising from an industrial setting where cutting itself carries cost. Each order specifies a length interval, and the task is to assign orders to warehouse rods so that all orders are satisfied while the number of cuts is minimized.

‘Chrystalline Talk’: Thomas Browne's Poetics of Concretion and Mineral Plain Style
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article charts the figuration, both material and rhetorical, of mineral bodies in early modern natural philosophy, paying particular attention to the second book of Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). It argues that concretions (stony calculi and crystals formed through the aggregation of physical matter) make manifest a mineral

“We Can No Longer Live by the Domostroi”: The Riddles of Anna Nikanorovna Paskhalova‐Mordovtseva
The Russian Review, EarlyView.Abstract This article analyzes the rebuses (picture riddles) of Anna Nikanorovna Paskhalova‐Mordovtseva. It argues that despite their seemingly modest nature as artefacts of everyday leisure, Mordovtseva used these puzzles to make radical claims and assert herself as a public intellectual.

How Well Can Words Capture Facial Appearance? A Cross‐Linguistic Exploration
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract When describing faces, people often struggle with verbalizing facial features. Free descriptions seem to focus predominantly on aspects of faces that are inferred, for example, psychological traits, age, attractiveness, and so on, whereas facial features themselves are often described in a limited and imprecise fashion.

The SIR Model in a Moving Population: Propagation of Infection and Herd Immunity
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 2375-2429, November 2026.ABSTRACT In a collection of particles performing independent random walks on Zd$\mathbb {Z}^d$ we study the spread of an infection with SIR dynamics. Susceptible particles become infected when they meet an infected particle. Infected particles heal and are removed at rate ν$\nu$.
