Owing to its location in the semi‐arid region of northern Central Asia, Mongolia is highly sensitive to climate change and therefore provides an excellent setting for palaeoenvironmental research. Proxy data from different sediment types are crucial for interpreting past climate changes and landscape evolution, while burial ages provide chronological ...

Progressive Convex Hull Simplification
Abstract Convex hulls are useful as tight bounding proxies for a variety of tasks including collision detection, ray intersection, and distance computation. Unfortunately, the complexity of polyhedral convex hulls grows linearly with their input. We consider the problem of conservatively simplifying a convex hull to a specified number of half‐spaces ...

Before It Was ‘New’: A Neglected History of Lived Experience–Led Criminal Justice
ABSTRACT A growing range of criminal justice initiatives are being shaped and delivered by people with lived experience, including peer mentoring, prisoner councils and policy advocacy roles. While often seen as recent innovations, we reveal a deeper, largely unacknowledged history dating back to at least the 19th century.

Accusations of green colonialism highlight the stakes around how partner countries interpret the EU's normative agenda.

The Role of Public Administrators in Building a Robust Liberal Democracy
ABSTRACT After decades of expansion, liberal democracy is threatened by autocratic populists. These actors exploit widening gaps between leaders and citizens, as well as growing political polarization in the population, to consolidate executive power by undermining courts, sidelining elected assemblies, discrediting public administrators, and ...
