Recent Diachronic Change in Affiliative Vocatives in British English
World Englishes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates recent diachronic change in affiliative address in spoken British English by comparing data from the demographic components of the BNC1994 and BNC2014. Using a systematically coded dataset of over 6000 vocative tokens, we analyze forms that signal solidarity and social closeness (including dude, bro, girl, dear, love ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 460-500, January 2027.Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

Entanglement-Enhanced Quantum-Inspired Tabu Search Algorithm for Function Optimization
IEEE Access, 2017 Many metaheuristic algorithms have been proposed to solve combinatorial and numerical optimization problems. Most optimization problems have high dependence, meaning that variables are strongly dependent on one another.

A Hybrid Tabu Search Algorithm for the Nurse Rostering Problem
, 1999 This paper deals with the problem of nurse rostering in Belgian hospitals. This is a highly constrained real world problem that was (until the results of this research were applied) tackled manually. The problem basically concerns the assignment of duties to a set of people with different qualifications, work regulations and preferences.

Straddle carrier routing optimization at container terminals utilizing telemetry‐based prediction
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 429-459, January 2027.Abstract Efficient vehicle routing and scheduling for horizontal transport means on container terminals can reduce lead times and travel distances, resulting in fuel savings and productivity gains. We apply machine learning to emulate operational processes, bridging the gap between theoretical optimization models and real‐world practices at container ...

“Playing Tetris”: Domestic Infrastructures of Labor Participation in Spain's Transport Sector
Anthropology of Work Review, Volume 47, Issue 2, December 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines how women drivers in Malaga's private passenger transport sector sustain paid work while holding primary responsibility for domestic labor and care. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2020 and 2021 with women taxi and platform‐based drivers (Uber and Cabify), it explores the everyday arrangements that ...
