International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Oregon's wave of data center and semiconductor projects shows how cloud capitalism reorganizes resource systems and territorial governance. Examining Amazon, Google, and Intel, the article traces how fiscal incentives, utility programs, and land‐use instruments are recalibrated to secure hyperscale loads.

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In corporate graduate recruitment worldwide, candidates are often assessed not only on competence but on whether they are deemed relatable. This study theorises relatability as a racialised cultural–affective filter that covertly sustains inequality. Drawing on qualitative interviews, we identify five interlinked processes of self‐presentation,

An M/M/1 Retrial Queue with Unreliable Server
, 2006 We analyze an unreliable M/M/1 retrial queue with infinite-capacity orbit and normal queue. Retrial customers do not rejoin the normal queue but repeatedly attempt to access the server at i.i.d. intervals until it is found functioning and idle.

Variable‐Rate Texture Compression: Real‐Time Rendering with JPEG
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Although variable‐rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real‐time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable‐rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the ...

NAADF: Globally Illuminated Voxel Worlds Accelerated with Nested Axis‐Aligned Distance Fields
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Achieving realistic rendering of 3D scenes in real time using path tracing is challenging due to the high sample count required, with ray tracing as the bottleneck. Focusing on voxels as a geometry representation offers significant opportunities for optimizations, especially for tracing the rays, but also for computing the samples.
