Automated detection system of metro tunnel lining crack using dynamic snake convolution

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Inspecting defects in tunnel linings is a crucial part of tunnel maintenance work. Traditional tunnel inspection methods are generally inefficient, making it difficult to complete intensive inspection tasks and provide detailed characteristic data of cracks within the limited maintenance time. In this research, a deep learning–driven automatic

Freight rail activity inventory system using a vision‐based deep learning framework

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Rail freight serves as a reliable cost‐effective and fuel‐efficient mode for long‐distance ground freight transportation. Existing rail data sources rely heavily on aggregate reports that lead to significant spatiotemporal data gaps for infrastructure planning and regulatory evaluation.

A spatial graph learning framework for multi‐scale road safety management based on road‐curve features and open‐source data

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Horizontal and vertical curves significantly affect crash risk due to their impact on driver behavior, vehicle dynamics, and sight distance. However, their combined effects and spatial interactions remain underexplored in large‐scale safety assessments. To address limitations in high‐resolution geometric data and insufficient spatial modeling,

A genealogy of fish women and other imagined identities: “The mechanics of fluids” in Larissa Lai's Salt Fish Girl

open access: yesOrbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract Fluidity invigorates a utopian home in Chinese Canadian author Larissa Lai's Salt Fish Girl (2002). In the novel, the fishlike lesbian couple cyclically returns to their aquatic habitat between mortal reincarnations: from last‐century colonial South China to near‐future bio‐capitalistic Canada, where they recurrently experience displacement ...

From Multicultural Experiment to Performing “China's Story”: Complying With Shifting Norms at a Chinese–Hungarian Bilingual School

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adopting a broad understanding of compliance as adherence to norms, this study examines the role of the Chinese–Hungarian Bilingual School in Budapest in the propagation of institutional, educational, and civic norms, through an anthropological inquiry into the discourses and practices embraced and enacted by teachers, parents, and students ...

Staged ecologies: Aesthetics, nature and infrastructure in the late‐modern metropolis

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract This paper examines the relationship between urban nature and landscape design within a £1.5 billion regeneration project that is currently unfolding in Thamesmead, a town in south‐east London. It develops the notion of ‘staged ecologies’ to examine how urban nature is being spatially and aesthetically arranged across the town's ...

Meteorological Tsunamis: From Local Hazard to Global Relevance

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Research on meteorological tsunamis or meteotsunamis—long ocean waves in the tsunami frequency band generated by propagating atmospheric disturbances which resonantly enhance ocean waves—has grown significantly in recent decades. This expansion is due to progress in (a) ocean and atmospheric measurements, including advanced instrumentation ...

Governing Within Semirigid Limits: Navigating the Centralization–Decentralization Paradox in Blockchain‐Based Platforms

open access: yesJournal of Operations Management, Volume 71, Issue 7, Page 917-938, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Blockchain‐based platforms can facilitate data sharing and coordination in interorganizational ecosystems by enabling secure, tamper‐evident recordkeeping and streamlined, trust‐minimized transactions across organizational boundaries. However, their decentralized architecture may conflict with the centralized control exercised by platform ...
