A Chance‐Constrained Model for a Production Routing Problem With Uncertain Availability of Vehicles
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Production Routing Problem (PRP) is a complex integrated problem that allows for the achievement of competitive advantages, such as better management of inventory, reduction in operational costs and lead times, improvement in efficiency and customer service, and better response to market changes.

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how combinations of organizational capacities shape nongovernmental organization (NGO) managers' prioritization of staff and beneficiaries. While stakeholder theory identifies which stakeholders' interests attract attention, it offers limited guidance on how managers ultimately prioritize among stakeholders in decision ...

Stabilising Routines in Complex Emergencies: How Basic Service Continuity Shapes Perceived Security
Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how locally embedded actors describe the relationship between basic service continuity and perceived security in complex emergencies, with particular attention to the stabilisation of everyday routines. Using Proximity‐Predictability‐Attributability (PPA) as an analytic lens, we trace how interviewees relate access to water,

Ministerial Advisers in Personal Patronage Settings: Evidence From Israel
Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The characteristics of ministerial advisers are predicted to correspond to the type of politicization setting in which they operate. The only systematic framework mapping these correspondences was developed predominantly in party‐driven patronage contexts.

Structure and Dynamics of Ultra‐Low‐Crosslinked Microgels
Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.This study reveals the relationship between microgel internal architecture, zero‐shear viscosity, structural relaxation time, and the ability of ultra‐soft colloidal suspensions to remain viscous fluids under overcrowded conditions. This interplay between microgel compressibility and zero‐shear viscosity is further highlighted by a colloid‐polymer ...

Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

Wavelet covariance approach to measure convective boundary‐layer structure
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study introduces a wavelet‐based framework that applies the Haar discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to radiosonde profiles of potential temperature and water vapor mixing ratio for diagnosing convective boundary‐layer (CBL) structure. The method objectively identifies key CBL parameters, including the surface‐layer height, entrainment zone depth ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...
