A Novel Single‐Encounter‐Emphasise‐Attention Neural Network for Predictive Maintenance in Urban Infrastructure

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Riyadh Metro represents a significant project in Saudi Arabia, designed to transform urban transportation and reduce traffic congestion within the city. With six metro lines and 85 stations, the network is expected to serve millions of passengers daily, necessitating innovative digitally driven maintenance approaches to ensure reliable ...

Regional Infrared and Visible Image Registration for Distribution Substation Areas With Wide Depth of Field

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infrared and visible image registration is a key task in automated distribution network inspection. Previous approaches typically apply a single homography to align infrared and visible images leading to local misalignment. To address this, this study proposes a novel region‐based registration algorithm specifically designed for wide‐depth ...

Application of electrostatic and multi‐layer embedding in Hirshfeld atom refinements: a cost‐effective approach for approximating bulk effects in crystalline environments

open access: yesJournal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
A new efficient embedding mechanism for molecule‐in‐a‐crystal electron‐density calculations during Hirshfeld atom refinement is made available in NoSpherA2 and benchmarked.One of the main advantages of Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR), besides improved refinement statistics and reduced uncertainties of all derived parameters, is the possibility of ...

A low‐cost, portable polarizing digital light microscope for monitoring crystal growth and for crystal harvesting

open access: yesJournal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
A low‐cost, portable, medium‐resolution polarizing digital light microscope device for monitoring crystal growth and for crystal harvesting is described. The device can be used with a cell phone or a personal computer for real‐time imaging by professional and amateur scientists alike.Motivated by the need for a convenient way to demonstrate the growth ...

Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across 10 coastal invertebrate species, we provide a rare multi‐species test of rapid acclimation to realistic marine heatwaves. Responses are consistently weak, revealing that short‐term plasticity cannot keep pace with warming and may lead to underestimated vulnerability in coastal ecosystems. Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and

Equal before time: on the sensory suspension of accumulated time in Sichuan, China Égaux devant le temps : suspension sensorielle du temps accumulé au Sichuan (Chine)

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Food and alcohol indulgence, along with tea‐drinking, gambling, and gossip, are integral to a characteristically Sichuanese ethos of ‘life enjoyment’ (xiangshou shenghuo). Beyond mere pleasure, sensory, ludic, and comic experiences temporarily strip participants of both their formal and subjective qualities.

Desegregationist Pan‐African Spiritual Strivings: Du Bois, the Black Church and the Critique of Imperialism*

open access: yesJournal of Religious History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article argues that W. E. B. Du Bois grounded his seminal conceptualisation of “the Negro church” in a Pan‐Africanist challenge to how Christian reformers and missionaries' usage of “Darkest Africa” as a metaphor for modern urban vice and poverty denigrated Africa and the African diaspora while promoting a segregated, imperialist version ...

Certified Nurse‐Midwife Practice Authority as a Structural Determinant of Maternal Health

open access: yesThe Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.
Policy Points State scope‐of‐practice restrictions on certified nurse‐midwives are associated with lower workforce density and higher maternal vulnerability. In fact, 25 states currently impose collaborative or restricted practice environments that coincide with the nation's worst maternal health indicators.

‘A Fairly Average “White Middle‐Class” Species of Lesbian’: Lorna Gulston, Ireland and the Early Anglophone Lesbian Press, 1965–1980

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the published writings of Lorna Gulston (c. 1932–2023), a hitherto unknown Northern Irish civil servant who wrote many articles for the earliest British lesbian magazines such as Arena Three, Sappho and Sequel. In doing so, the article asks: How did Gulston find her way onto the pages of these pioneering magazines?

NOCTURNAL INFORMALITY: Rethinking the Temporal Politics of Urban Informality

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban informality has long been theorized as a spatial condition of urban life—an expression of negotiation, improvisation, and survival within the uneven terrains of legality and governance. Yet this emphasis on space has obscured the temporalities through which informality is lived, governed, and contested. This essay develops the concept of
