Production routing decisions in a two‐echelon supply chain with multiple delivery modes
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3385-3421, September 2026.Abstract We study an original two‐echelon production routing problem with multiple delivery modes (2E‐PRP‐MDM). In the first echelon, the primary production facility is tasked with satisfying the demands of two distinct entities: a set of warehouses and a set of customers through direct shipments. In the second echelon, warehouses become delivery hubs,

Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Background Video data provides rich opportunities to examine student behaviour in game‐based learning environments, capturing not only observable actions but also subtle indicators of cognitive engagement. However, traditional video analysis is labor‐intensive, and current applications of AI to this task are limited by models trained on ...

Rendering transparency to ranking in educational assessment via Bayesian comparative judgement
Review of Education, Volume 14, Issue 2, August 2026.Abstract Transparency in educational assessment has become an increasingly pressing concern, particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic, as institutions seek more equitable, robust and defensible methods of evaluating student work. Comparative judgement (CJ) has gained traction as a promising alternative to traditional rubric‐based marking. However,

Cross‐Scale Synergistic Optimization for Miniature Meta‐Liquid Hybrid Zoom Imaging
Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 13, 13 July 2026.A physically constrained optimization framework links electrowetting liquid lenses and metasurface dispersion engineering to realize a compact visible‐band achromatic zoom imager. By co‐optimizing zoom actuation, meta‐atom manufacturability, and system aberrations, the design achieves 1.5x zoom in a 15.5 mm track and clarifies robustness against ...
