Random‐key optimization for 2D irregular packing with reusable area evaluation
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The diverse constraints of industrial applications lead to variants of two‐dimensional (2D) irregular packing problems that require tailored solution methods. This paper addresses a real‐world industrial challenge by proposing a new problem definition, the maximum reusable contiguous area problem (MRCAP), and a novel metric, the maximum ...

The Evolution of Interest‐Rate Models: From the Yield Curve to the Swaption Cube
Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interest‐rate modelling is often taught as a catalogue of competing stochastic equations, obscuring why models were created and why modern sell‐side desks use several simultaneously. This survey reorganises the field around five layers of a pricing architecture: curve construction; arbitrage‐free dynamics; volatility‐smile representation ...

Do's and Don'ts in Peace Negotiations: Learning From the Arab‐Israeli Peace Negotiations
Peace &Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article suggests practical information on the requirements for successful negotiations. Building on extensive research in archives and more than 100 in‐depth interviews with senior decision‐makers and negotiators who were involved in the Arab‐Israeli conflict, the article outlines the basic qualities that negotiators, mediators, and ...

Standing on a common ground: a comparison of static stability approaches for pallet loading
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 501-527, January 2027.Abstract At the practical level, the static stability constraint is one of the most important constraints in practical pallet loading problems, such as air cargo palletizing. Approaches to modeling static stability, which range from base support and mechanical equilibrium calculations to physical simulation, differ in workflow, focus, and assumptions ...

Multi‐objective maritime vessel routing with safety considerations
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 337-371, January 2027.Abstract The routing of maritime vessels is a challenging optimization problem that involves finding an adequate balance between conflicting and multiple objectives. This paper proposes a methodology based on inverse optimization to find appropriate objective weights that account for conflicting objectives. To formulate the inverse optimization problem,

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Sirenians are a lineage of herbivorous marine mammals morphologically specialized for exploiting aquatic vegetation in shallow‐water habitats. In manatees (Trichechus), continuous horizontal tooth replacement may represent a solution for mitigating heavy dental wear incurred by a diet of abrasive plant material.

Making the Case for Organ‐on‐Chip Platforms in Long‐Acting Therapeutics Development
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 36, 25 September 2026.LATs release drug from a tissue‐resident depot over weeks to months, improving adherence, but their development is hampered by preclinical models that cannot reproduce the coupled tissue processes, sustained release, local microenvironment change, interstitial transport, immune and foreign‐body responses, and clearance that govern depot performance in ...

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.Biological function arises from aggregates rather than from molecules. Comparing biomimetic systems on a common basis reveals three transferable design rules governing hierarchical assembly, interfacial gradients, and stimulus‐coupled anisotropy, and identifies self‐healing and single‐step multiscale integration as properties that do not transfer to ...

Co‐Flowering Plant Species in a Glasshouse Boost Both Strawberry Production and Bee Health
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.Integrating co‐flowering plants into glasshouse strawberry systems creates a “win‐win” synergy where floral diversification enhances stingless bee vitality and crop visitation. This approach increased A‐grade fruit from 25% to 70%, demonstrating that strategic biodiversity integration optimises both pollinator health and sustainable agricultural ...
