The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Adaptive Hybrid Chance‐Constrained SOCP‐Based ACOPF for Coordinated Optimisation of Integrated Energy Systems

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
An adaptive chance‐constrained hybrid SOCP‐Based ACOPF for coordinated optimisation of integrated source–grid–load–storage systems is presented. The coordinated optimisation of integrated source–grid–load–storage (SGLS) systems is challenged by renewable energy uncertainty, complex industrial load characteristics and stringent policy constraints ...

Coming of age in‐ and out‐of‐place: frictions of adolescent mobility in island Southeast Asia Devenir adulte, à sa place ou non : frictions de la mobilité adolescente dans les îles d'Asie du Sud‐Est

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Through a comparison of adolescent experience in Manggarai, eastern Indonesia, and amongst children of migrants in Sabah, Malaysia, this article argues for the value of attending to the spatiality of adolescence as a period of transition. Biocultural development expands both adolescents’ concrete experiences of mobility and their sense of the ...

‘CLOSING THE CARBON LOOP’: Climate Policy Discourses and the Material Politics of Municipal Waste‐to‐Biofuel Programs

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Waste‐to‐biofuel (WTB) programs have gained popularity as a municipal circular economy and an emissions reduction strategy. The upgrading of biofuels to renewable natural gas (RNG) has drawn particular interest, as RNG can displace conventional fossil fuels in any existing natural gas end use and be delivered through existing pipeline ...
