Simultaneous Network Design With Restricted Link Usage

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given a digraph with two terminal vertices s$$ s $$ and t$$ t $$ as well as a conservative cost function and several not necessarily disjoint color classes on its arc set, our goal is to find a minimum‐cost subset of the arcs such that its intersection with each color class contains an s$$ s $$‐t$$ t $$ dipath.

An Adaptive Multiple Shooting Strategy for Optimal Control

open access: yesOptimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.
We study how multiple shooting affects the convergence of Newton‐type methods for optimal control, comparing several shooting strategies across 40 benchmark problems. The study covers interior‐point and sequential quadratic programming methods with both Quasi‐Newton approximations and exact Hessians.

The Effect of the Aging Process of Polyamide 11 Used in Flexible Pipelines and Its Influence on the Permeability of Carbon Dioxide

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Field degradation inducing changes in the Polyamide 11 permeability. ABSTRACT This study investigates how long‐term natural aging affects the CO2 permeability of polyamide 11 (PA11) pressure sheaths recovered from decommissioned flexible risers. PA11 samples were extracted from two 18‐year‐old risers—a gas‐lift line and an oil‐production line—and ...

Botanic and heritage gardens as living laboratories in the age of the polycrisis

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Cities face intertwined crises of climate, biodiversity loss and social disconnection. We show how botanic and heritage gardens can help address these challenges as living laboratories to generate place‐based evidence and public engagement.

Hidden Costs of Ethical Fashion: Sustainable Development Goals and Garment Worker Exploitation in Bangladesh

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across garment factories in the Global South, the promise of “ethical fashion” coexists with poverty wages and retaliation. This study examines why the global call for decent work has not improved labor conditions in Bangladesh's ready‐made garment industry.

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...
