The Growing Threat of Flooding on Transportation Infrastructure Across Texas Through 2100
Abstract Flooding poses an escalating threat to transportation resilience, yet existing regulatory hazard maps often suffer from incomplete coverage and rely on static historical data, leaving vast infrastructure networks exposed to unquantified risks. We bridge this gap for Texas—a hydro‐geomorphologically diverse state with aging infrastructure—under

ABSTRACT Magnetotelluric (MT) data are often contaminated by electromagnetic (EM) noise, making quality control (QC) essential for reliable inversion. Conventional manual time‐domain QC processes are labour‐intensive, and some noise inevitably remains after processing, necessitating complementary processing in the frequency domain to address the ...

Silicon nitride samples were slip cast using yttrium oxide–aluminum oxide and ytterbium oxide sintering aids to fabricate plates with up to 40% porosity and compare them to a fully dense commercial standard. Silicon nitride plates were tested with an oxyacetylene torch to investigate changes in front and back face temperature, spectral emissivity ...

Field Theory and Colonialism: Indirect Colonial Situation as a Social Field in Egypt (1882–1922)
ABSTRACT This paper argues that Egypt under British rule (1882–1922) constituted a field of power in which the local state of Egypt and the British administration competed to dominate three key subfields to ensure control over a contested territory: the modern courts system, policing, and agricultural production.

Improved detection algorithm for rail profile wear based on line structured light
The classical Iterative Closest Point (ICP) registration algorithm is commonly applied to rail profile wear detection systems. However, during the operation of track inspection vehicles, the profile data collected by the rail profile wear detection ...

The Leaner, Meaner State—And What It Means for Society
ABSTRACT Populism is an old phenomenon but one which appears to once again be in ascendance globally. Attributing a nation's problems to a wicked elite, populists seek to dismantle the old order and either remove or repurpose its institutions. This paper explores how populism changes economic governance and particularly, how its emphasis on fighting ...

Spatial depth for data in metric spaces
Abstract We propose a novel measure of statistical depth, the metric spatial depth, for data residing in an arbitrary metric space. The measure assigns high (low) values for points located near (far away from) the bulk of the data distribution, allowing quantifying their centrality/outlyingness.

Abstract A report commenting on three quantitative pest risk assessments (qPRA) of the EFSA PLH Panel (Panel) was published in November 2025 by the Office for Risk Assessment & Research (BuRO) of the Netherlands Food and Product Safety Authority. In that report, the approaches applied by the Panel in three qPRA were narratively scrutinised against an ...
