STREETS AS STAGES: Traffic Enforcement and the Competition for Cultural Growth in China
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In keeping with China’s desire to build soft power to parallel its economic growth, the policing of city streets has moved to the forefront as a mechanism for moral regulation and improving urban prestige. Under pressure to civilize their citizenry, many Chinese cities have become entrepreneurial cities within a type of cultural growth ...

AUGURAL TERRITORIES: On the Prophetic Organizing of the Mid‐range
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article I introduce the concept of augural territories to theorize the urbanism that emerged during pandemic lockdowns. I draw on ethnographic research in Madrid to examine how community‐based responses—including mutual aid networks, food pantries and neighbourhood associations—disrupted the spatial and temporal logics of territorial ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we address the problem of routing a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) to serve a set of customers, geographically distributed, within their time windows. We assume that EVs may also be recharged en route, and the amount of energy recharged at a recharging station (RS) is a decision variable itself, that is, partial recharges are ...

Vessel arrival planning with full information
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Planning efficiency and timely arrival of vessels is crucial to smooth operations of maritime transport networks, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and minimizing operational costs. Coordination between vessel operators and terminals has the potential to reduce costs, fuel consumption, and waiting time.

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how administrative burden in college admissions affects individuals with criminal records, with attention to racial disparities. Grounded in administrative burden theory and the role of street‐level bureaucrats, it examines how admissions representatives respond to applicants with disclosed criminal histories. Through a

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.A (111)‐oriented nanotwinned copper substrate stabilizes the deposited nanograined copper and prevents self‐annealing by restricting grain boundary motion at the interface and promoting the formation of stacking faults within the nanograined copper. Its preserved nanostructure maintains bonding capability even after 30 days of storage, resulting in ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.In animal societies, one's social rank determines access to resources like food, mates, and allies. Using longitudinal data on 481 spotted hyenas, we tested two common social rank metrics with different mechanistic assumptions to see whether resource access or social constraints could best explain different aspects of reproductive success.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract The dynamics of spatially structured populations (SSPs) depend on dispersal movements between habitat patches. Individual‐level studies show that dispersal can be informed by social cues about habitat quality, such as breeding success or the number of conspecifics in a patch.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Extreme weather events epitomize high cost: to society through their physical impacts, and to computer servers that simulate them to assess risk and advance physical understanding. It costs hundreds of simulation years to sample a few once‐per‐century events with straightforward model integration, but that cost can be much reduced with rare ...
