On Solving Floating Point SSSP Using an Integer Priority Queue
We address the single source shortest path planning problem (SSSP) in the case of floating point edge weights. We show how any integer based Dijkstra solution that relies on a monotone integer priority queue to create a full ordering over path lengths in order to solve integer SSSP can be used as an oracle to solve floating point SSSP with positive ...

Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Police Patrol and Dispatch
ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...

Improving Affordability and Accessibility for Socially‐Beneficial Services via Government Incentives
ABSTRACT Many socially‐beneficial services, like dental care, suffer from a dual challenge: Low affordability for citizens and long waiting times due to insufficient provider capacity. We model a government's problem of designing subsidy policies to address this issue.

Information Design for Early‐Stage Dose‐Finding Trials
ABSTRACT To enhance enrollment rates in early‐stage dose‐finding clinical trials, we propose an information design approach, where the clinical investigator (CI) commits to an information releasing mechanism (IRM) based on the treatment's uncertain efficacy and toxicity to encourage patients to participate in the trial.

Optimizing Household Waste Recycling Centre Network Reorganization in Hampshire
ABSTRACT Local councils across the UK are facing sustained financial pressures, and Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) are being increasingly considered for closure to reduce expenditure. In 2024, Hampshire County Council, which operates the largest HWRC network in the UK, proposed closing either five or twelve existing sites.

Different demographic drivers of recovery in two adjacent populations of a long‐lived bird of prey
Understanding the demographic mechanisms underlying population decline or recovery is critical for conservation and management, yet similar population trends may arise from very different underlying processes. Comparing populations of vulnerable species groups like long‐lived raptors in different environments can reveal how species respond to change ...

Technical wildness: Modernity, romanticism, and the technocratic turn in Scottish rewilding
Abstract Technical wildness is a new and increasingly influential culture of nature. This paper marks its emergence in Scotland in the early 2020s. Focusing on Scotland's rapidly evolving land management sector, the paper traces how private rewilding companies position science‐led land management and natural capital markets as the most effective ...

Practical considerations for pathologists when selecting digital pathology systems: an ESDIP guide
Abstract The implementation of digital pathology (DP) has been reported across academic, public, and private laboratory settings, providing valuable insights into workflow transformation. However, comparatively little guidance exists on how DP systems should be evaluated prior to acquisition and deployment.

Path‐Based Deep Reinforcement Learning for On‐Board Routing in Satellite Constellation Networks
ABSTRACT Efficient usage of available network resources is a crucial factor for broadband services in interconnected satellite constellations. To meet required quality of service standards under heavy network loads, it is essential to optimize traffic distribution among the intersatellite links. To address this challenge, we propose an adaptive traffic
