T(w)o Patch or Not T(w)o Patch: A Novel Biocontrol Model
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A number of top‐down biocontrol models have been proposed where the introduced predators' efficacy is enhanced via the provision of additional food (AF). However, if the predator has a pest‐dependent monotone functional response, pest extinction is unattainable. In the current manuscript, we propose a model where a predator with pest‐dependent

Solvability and Boundedness in Chemotaxis‐Consumption Models With Oppositely Acting Nonlocal Sources
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate a chemotaxis system featuring a class of external source terms that incorporate both local and nonlocal growth as well as dampening effects. The model describes the evolution of a cell density u$$ u $$, which migrates in response to a chemical signal v$$ v $$, within an impermeable habitat.

Anisotropic Initial Damage and Its Effect on Tensile Response of Plain Concrete
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Damage is often described as isotropic, implying that a scalar value describes its initial state. However, the prior micro‐cracking pattern at points of an existing building, that is, the initial damage, may be oriented by a preload. The degradation of the Volume Element due to oriented preloads shall be described as anisotropic and ...

Counterfactual restrictions and Bell’s theorem
Journal of Physics CommunicationsWe show that the ability to consider counterfactual situations is a necessary assumption of Bell’s theorem, and that, to allow Bell inequality violations while maintaining all other assumptions, we just require certain measurement choices be ...

Modeling Biocemented Sands: Hypoplastic Model for MICP‐Based Ground Improvement
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bio‐cementation offers a sustainable and low‐carbon alternative to conventional ground improvement methods, aligning with the growing demand for green geotechnical solutions. To enable reliable numerical simulation of bio‐cemented soil behavior in engineering applications, advanced constitutive models are required to account for the effects of

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel geometrically regularized gradient‐damage model for simulating dynamic mixed‐mode fracture in orthotropic materials with tension–compression asymmetry. In this model, a thermodynamic framework is formulated by incorporating damage dissipation into internal energy evolution, from which the constitutive relation and ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The cell perturbation (CP) method mitigate mesoscale structural perturbations entering large‐eddy simulations (LES) from gray‐zone parent domains. The turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) bias‐filtering effect of CP increases with nesting ratio and is most pronounced under weakly convective conditions.

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how everyday linguicism and racism shape the academic and social experiences of international students in Hong Kong, focusing on the racialized subjectivity of a South Asian graduate student. Although research on international students has mainly focused on Western higher education, little attention has been paid to the ...

“Migratory Bird” Local Managers: English Proficiency, Social Identification, and Early Turnover
Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Local managers with high proficiency in English are valuable resources for foreign subsidiaries of multinational enterprises, as they help mitigate language barriers between expatriate and local managers. However, such linguistically competent local managers often leave foreign subsidiaries within the first few years of employment.

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.Caputo‐based fPINNs accurately solve fractional ODEs and PDEs while exposing an accuracy–cost trade‐off driven by the history‐dependent fractional derivative. Temporal collocation and shorter time windows are the most effective strategies for improving early‐time accuracy without unnecessary spatial refinement.
