British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we explore how neurodivergent ways of being in early education are often gendered. The intersectionalities of gender and neurodivergence often lead to fixed expectations that perpetuate binary interpretations, pathologisations, missed diagnoses and a lack of curated support.

Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...

Impact of visibility on traffic Incidents at signalized intersections –a case study in Polish cities
Archives of TransportIn urban agglomerations, signalized intersections are common. However, in traffic management, safety-focused strategies are often sacrificed for traffic efficiency by allowing simultaneous multiple conflicting movements.

Keeping their powder dry: Purity, pollution, and handgun ownership among Jewish women in Israel
Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines the gendered practices through which Jewish women in Israel experience and negotiate personal handgun ownership in everyday life. Drawing on interviews, participant observation in gun‐related spaces, and analysis of women‐only online forums, we explore the expanding participation of Jewish women in civilian gun ownership,

Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners
Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...

An Initial Investigation of the Effects of a Fully Automated Vehicle Fleet on Geometric Design
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2019 This paper investigates the potential changes in the geometric design elements in response to a fully autonomous vehicle fleet. When autonomous vehicles completely replace conventional vehicles, the human driver will no longer be a concern.

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper develops a mathematical framework for interpreting observations of solar inertial waves in an idealized setting. Under the assumption of purely toroidal linear waves on the sphere, the stream function of the flow satisfies a fourth‐order scalar equation.

Three-dimensional stopping sight distance control on passing lanes of divided highways [PDF]
European Transport Research Review, 2016 Stopping Sight Distance control of passing lanes of divided highways represents currently a discussion point among researchers. A 3-D approach to address the issue is accepted as the overall solution to the problem by both researchers and contemporary design policies.
