A pipeline crisis or a sustainability crisis? Local and national succession planning for headteachers in England

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Recruiting and retaining school leaders is a challenge in many systems worldwide. Previous research has identified three distinct ways in which succession planning can be conceptualised and approached: a ‘pipeline’ approach seeks to match supply and demand for the posts that need filling; a ‘pool’ strategy involves proactively identifying and ...

A general algorithm for convex fair partitions of convex polygons

Fixed Point Theory and Algorithms for Sciences and Engineering
A convex fair partition of a convex polygonal region is defined as a partition on which all regions are convex and have equal area and equal perimeter. The existence of such a partition for any number of regions remains an open question.

Correction of chain-linking method by means of Lloyd-Moulton-Fisher-Tornqvist index on Croatian GDP data

Croatian Operational Research Review, 2012
National statistical agencies of European Union use chain-linking method in order to achieve as best as possible decomposition of GDP. The main advantage of this method is its simplicity by which it can be applied in practice, what makes it particularly attractive under circumstances when GDP has to be compiled on due time.

‘When joy comes your way, you have to grab it!’ Troubling how queer joy features in the lives of LGBT+ school‐attending youth in South Africa

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Recently, the concept ‘queer joy’ has gained interest in LGBT+ scholarship in the West. I use this scholarship as an entry point to explore how school‐attending LGBT+ youth express joy and how joy serves as a form of resistance against gender and sexuality norms in educational settings.

An optimal particle setup method with Centroidal Voronoi Particle dynamics

Computer Physics Communications, 2019
In this paper, we develop an optimal particle setup method for initial condition with Centroidal Voronoi Particle (CVP) dynamics, which combines the Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) and Voronoi Particle (VP) concept.

Genetically Programmed Control of Overflow Metabolism

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Overflow metabolism is a highly undesirable phenomenon that occurs in virtually all cell factories. Although several schemes have been applied to avoid overflow metabolism, this problem remains far from being solved. In this study, a genetic sensor for detecting overflow metabolism was designed, and its substrate specificity and reversibility ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
