Homefront: Black Servicemembers and Black Voters in the Civil Rights Era
ABSTRACT The role of Black World War II veterans in the Civil Rights Movement has been well documented, but the effect of Black military service on Black voting patterns remains unclear. Combining detailed information on World War II enlistments and Civil Rights Commission data on voter registration by race, we estimate the role of Black veterans in ...

ABSTRACT This article responds to recent debates in this journal surrounding raciolinguistics and potential pitfalls of siloing of race and reproducing essentialism in the scholarship of language and race. Using Stuart Hall's theory of articulation, it provides an anti‐essentialist linguistic ethnographic analysis of identity construction in a UK ...

Motivated causal judgments and responsibility for civilian casualties in military conflicts
Abstract Causal judgments are ubiquitous in politics and crucial for assigning responsibility and blame. Cognitive science has demonstrated that people are more likely to pick factors as “causal” when they make a difference for the outcome across a range of counterfactual scenarios, with the scenarios sampled based on statistical and prescriptive ...

Edge-Based Control of Multi-Platoons
Vehicle platooning is expected to significantly increase road utilization while reducing transport cost and driver fatigue. Of course, the larger the platoon size the higher the efficiency. However, long platoons generate challenging road conditions when, for instance, platoons must allow for cross traffic at intersections, roundabouts and highway ...

Simulation and Testing of a Platooning Cooperative Longitudinal Controller [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that the ITS solution called platooning allows the autonomous collaborative driving and can improve traffic safety and throughput. Traffic flow is optimized by Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC), which allows for the automatic short-distance vehicle following, using inter-vehicle wireless communication in addition to

Modeling and Performance of the IEEE 802.11p Broadcasting for Intra-Platoon Communication
Road capacity, traffic safety, and energy efficiency can be extremely improved by forming platoons with a small intra-vehicle spacing. Automated controllers obtain vehicle speed, acceleration, and position through vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs ...
