Homefront: Black Servicemembers and Black Voters in the Civil Rights Era
Southern Economic Journal, Volume 92, Issue 4, Page 1189-1204, April 2026.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 ...

Journal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 123-134, April 2026.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 ...

Edge-Based Control of Multi-Platoons
IEEE Transactions on Vehicular TechnologyVehicle 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 ...

Motivated causal judgments and responsibility for civilian casualties in military conflicts
Political Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 2, April 2026.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 ...

Self-Triggered Consensus of Vehicle Platoon System With Time-Varying Topology
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2020 This paper focuses on the consensus problem of a vehicle platoon system with time-varying topology via self-triggered control. Unlike traditional control methods, a more secure event-triggered controller considering the safe distance was designed for the

Particle filter state estimator for large urban networks [PDF]
, 2011 This paper applies a particle filter (PF) state estimator to urban traffic networks. The traffic network consists of signalized intersections, the roads that link these intersections, and sensors that detect the passage time of vehicles.

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 194-204, April 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines the Turkish state's Village Guard system, revived in the 1980s as part of its counterinsurgency strategy against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). While often framed as a defensive militia, the Village Guards became central to the state's exceptional governance in Kurdistan, both facilitating military control and ...

Arterial traffic signal optimization: a person-based approach [PDF]
, 2013 This paper presents a traffic responsive signal control system that optimizes signal settings based on minimization of person delay on arterials. The system's underlying mixed integer linear program minimizes person delay by explicitly accounting for the
