Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The implementation of traditional steel reinforcement in 3D concrete printed structures is a major challenge. Although 3D‐printed structures may be used as formwork, the knowledge about their structural contribution is limited. This research aims to experimentally evaluate the structural performance of reinforced concrete prisms with 3D ...

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Despite its potential benefits, empirical research on researcher–practitioner collaboration within collaborative teaching study groups (CTSGs) remains limited, particularly regarding how this collaboration is manifested and constructed. This study aims to fill this gap by documenting a 9‐year collaborative initiative that facilitated the ...

Visual-LiDAR Localization and Tree Map Building for Autonomous Robot in Unstructured Forests
IEEE AccessThis study proposes a Visual-LiDAR (VL) localization and tree trunk mapping method for an autonomous robot in unstructured forests. In unstructured outdoor environments such as forests and orchards, the GPS signal is often unreliable and occluded by ...

Geo2DGS‐SLAM: Geometry‐Driven SLAM With 2D Gaussian Splatting
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent advances in SLAM systems based on 3D Gaussian Splatting have enabled dense and photorealistic scene reconstruction. However, 3DGS‐based methods still suffer from limited geometric awareness due to the lack of normal rendering support, view inconsistency and weak depth constraints, ultimately hindering high‐fidelity geometric ...

Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article considers travel writings by metropolitan men in Republican China about Shanxi and western Inner Mongolia as a case study to further explore the transformations and continuities of Chinese masculinities. Drawing upon a range of popular travel narratives, it shows that so‐called “Worn‐Out Shoes (poxie)” – women perceived as ...

Who Is a Patriotic Man? Rethinking Hegemonic Masculinity in Modern Iran
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the analytical viability of the concept of “hegemonic masculinity” in the historical study of masculinities in early‐twentieth‐century Iran (c.1890–1941). It argues that a radical problematizing of the concepts of hegemony, class, “the West,” and patriotism helps us move beyond the binaries of Western‐Iranian and modern ...

PARTY‐STATE URBANISM: Coevolution of Local State Capacity and Strategic Alliances in Shenzhen
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract What is distinct about Chinese urban governance? Classic theories predict that when the central state retreats from resource allocation, capacity‐strained local governments must form alliances with non‐state actors, thereby diluting state power. In China, however, state power remains dominant despite decentralization.
