Staged ecologies: Aesthetics, nature and infrastructure in the late‐modern metropolis
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 4, December 2025.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 ...

Foray search: An effective systematic dispersal strategy in fragmented landscapes [PDF]
, 2003 In the absence of evidence to the contrary, population models generally assume that the dispersal trajectories of animals are random, but systematic dispersal could be more efficient at detecting new habitat and may therefore constitute a more realistic ...

Scaling Invariant Generation Using State Space Embeddings and GPU Streaming
Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 37, Issue 25-26, 30 November 2025.ABSTRACT The formal verification of railway control systems can ensure the safety of complex scheme plans through techniques such as induction‐based model checking. While inductive verification performs well in complex settings, it often produces false positives due to its consideration of transitions from unreachable safe states to unsafe states ...

Automated detection system of metro tunnel lining crack using dynamic snake convolution
Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 26, Page 4521-4542, 7 November 2025.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
