The Gender of Fossil Fuels: Oil and Domestic Perils in Mandate Palestine
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article explores the gender dynamics behind the rise of kerosene – an oil derivative – as the main domestic fuel in Mandate Palestine. It argues that these dynamics were constitutive in determining who began to use oil, where and for what purposes, in turn demonstrating that women in Palestine were the promoters and targets of a campaign ...

An Investigation on the Stationary Shop Queuing Model; an Overview of Mathematical Modeling
Panamerican Mathematical JournalQueuing model theory is a branch of mathematics that studies the behaviour of waiting queues. It is used to analyse and model the overall production of the systems where all the resources and equipment are shared among competing demands.

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 ...

Large deviations analysis for the $M/H_2/n + M$ queue in the Halfin-Whitt regime
, 2018 We consider the FCFS $M/H_2/n + M$ queue in the Halfin-Whitt heavy traffic regime. It is known that the normalized sequence of steady-state queue length distributions is tight and converges weakly to a limiting random variable W.

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract While many African cities, such as Nairobi, fared comparatively well during the pandemic years, urban residents still faced compounded uncertainties and an unequal distribution of burdens that were infrastructurally co‐mediated, for example, within and through place‐specific waterscapes and their socio‐technical infrastructures.

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 ...

A Call to Industry: Unearthing Synergies in Subsurface Storage Technologies
Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Subsurface storage technologies (SSTs), including geological CO2 sequestration, underground hydrogen storage, compressed‑air energy storage and thermal energy storage, are emerging as a scalable route for industry to achieve the terawatt‑hour storage flexibility and permanent carbon removal that evolving energy systems demand.

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.
