Velocity‐based stowage policy for a semiautomated fulfillment system
Production and Operations Management, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Online retail fulfillment is increasingly performed by semiautomated fulfillment systems in which inventory is stored in mobile pods that are moved by robotic drives. In this paper, we develop a model that explores the benefits of velocity‐based stowage policies for semiautomated fulfillment systems, also known as robotic mobile fulfillment ...

Distributed computing for the reconstruction of multi‐terabyte tomographic X‐ray imaging datasets
Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.As tomographic datasets from synchrotrons continue to increase in volume, so rises the challenge of reconstructing said data. Here we present a solution utilizing high‐performance computing capabilities to split the process into multiple smaller tasks, which can be solved without overwhelming a single compute node.

What England Is and What It Claims to Be: Orwell on National Identity
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article suggests that George Orwell's body of work offers a rather unique and insightful two‐part conception of national identity in the context of England, made up of a moral inheritance—the values of liberty, fairness and decency—and a lived sensibility—the fluid, experiential quality of collective life expressed in shared customs ...

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 ...

Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article looks at two critical moments in British immigration – the case of the ‘stateless’ Ugandan Asian husbands, whose wives successfully argued for their entry in Britain in 1973 and the ‘virginity test’ performed on Mrs K at Heathrow Airport in 1979.

Performance Approximation and Design of Pick-and-Pass Order Picking Systems
In this paper, we discuss an approximation method based on G/G/m queuing network modeling using Whitt’s (1983) queuing network analyzer to analyze pick-and-pass order picking systems.

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 ...
