Deindustrialization and demographic change: Evidence from big plant closures and downsizing

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the causal effect of big manufacturing plant closures and downsizing on the socioeconomic composition of Canadian cities between 2001 and 2021. Our instrumental variables estimates show that big manufacturing plant closures and downsizing—large local labour demand shocks—lead to less population growth and a shift in the demographic

Leaders Are Somethin' Else: Behavioural Variation Associated With Roles During Tandem Running Recruitment

Ethology, EarlyView.
In this study, we found moderate to strong repeatabilities in behavioural variables measuring the personality traits: activity, aggressiveness and exploration. Similarly, the probability of acting as a leader during tandem running in an emigration event was moderately (R = 0.469) repeatable.

The Impact of Digital Technologies on Skills‐to‐Job Mismatches

New Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A pervasive discourse calls for worker upskilling amid ongoing digital transformation. This study introduces a skills‐to‐job mismatch perspective into research on the digital transformation of work by conceptualising technological adoption as a process that reshapes the relationship between workers’ skill endowments and evolving job ...

Standing on a common ground: a comparison of static stability approaches for pallet loading

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 501-527, January 2027.
Abstract At the practical level, the static stability constraint is one of the most important constraints in practical pallet loading problems, such as air cargo palletizing. Approaches to modeling static stability, which range from base support and mechanical equilibrium calculations to physical simulation, differ in workflow, focus, and assumptions ...

Preference assessment and reinforcer effectiveness in domestic cats

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Volume 126, Issue 3, November 2026.
Abstract Understanding domestic cat (Felis catus) preferences is important for identifying effective reinforcers that can support training, enrichment, and welfare. We assessed preference across three stimulus categories (food, toys, and social interaction) using free‐operant assessments with four adult cats in familiar home environments.

Flexo‐printable glucomannan‐based biofilm

Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 5, Page 737-744, October 2026.
Abstract Biofilms were synthesised from glucomannan and xylan. The ratio of glucomannan: xylan varied from 90:10 (g/g) to 70:30 (g/g). Nanofibrillated cellulose was added to enhance the mechanical properties of the biofilms. In another approach, glucomannan/xylan suspensions were crosslinked with tartaric acid (TA) or citric acid (CA).

Effects of folding numbers, scoring depth and bending velocity on bending-moment relaxation of creased paperboard

Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2014
This work deals with the time-dependent creasing characteristics of coated paperboard. The correlation between the bending strength (resistance) and time-dependent problems on the actual processing phenomenon has not been sufficiently discussed in the ...

A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

Tailoring Thermal Energy Supply Towards the Advanced Control of Deformation Mechanisms in 3D Forming of Paper and Board

Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing
The temperature of the tools and the moisture content of the material play a significant role in the 3D forming of paperboard in terms of the degree of forming and the quality of the formed part.
