From Tap Water Access to Income‐Generating Work Time: Evidence From Rural China
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines whether household tap water access affects income‐generating work time among employed rural adults in China. While existing studies have mainly examined the effects of improved water access on employment participation, off‐farm transition and household income, this paper focuses on the intensive margin of labour supply ...

Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the published writings of Lorna Gulston (c. 1932–2023), a hitherto unknown Northern Irish civil servant who wrote many articles for the earliest British lesbian magazines such as Arena Three, Sappho and Sequel. In doing so, the article asks: How did Gulston find her way onto the pages of these pioneering magazines?

Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the 1956 Semenyih strip–search scandal in British colonial Malaya during the Malayan Emergency, a counterinsurgency campaign shaped by Cold War politics in Southeast Asia, to explore how non‐elite Chinese women navigated surveillance, humiliation, and limited opportunities to have their grievances recognized.

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Oregon's wave of data center and semiconductor projects shows how cloud capitalism reorganizes resource systems and territorial governance. Examining Amazon, Google, and Intel, the article traces how fiscal incentives, utility programs, and land‐use instruments are recalibrated to secure hyperscale loads.

Flow-level convergence and insensitivity for multi-class queueing networks
Stochastic Systems, 2012 We consider a multi-class queueing network as a model of packet transfer in a communication network. We define a second stochastic model as a model of document transfer in a communication network where the documents transferred have a general ...

Understanding Digital Financial Literacy Among Older Adults in Sweden
Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examined digital financial literacy (DFL) among older adults in Sweden, with the aim of refining its conceptualisation for highly digitised welfare states. Sixteen semi‐structured interviews with individuals aged 65–93 across two municipalities were analysed inductively. While online banking and Swish were nearly universal, adoption

Variable‐Rate Texture Compression: Real‐Time Rendering with JPEG
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Although variable‐rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real‐time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable‐rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the ...

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Graph drawing aesthetics have traditionally been optimized for human readers, leading to well‐established principles such as reducing edge crossings, enhancing symmetry, and minimizing bends. These criteria shape layout algorithms and define what “readability” means in network visualization.

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Network visualization has traditionally relied on heuristic metrics, such as stress, under the assumption that optimizing them leads to aesthetic and informative layouts. However, no single metric consistently produces the most effective results.
