Portable Radar for Noncontact Heart Rate Monitoring and Estrus Detection in Dairy Cows
IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 9, Page 1390-1403, September 2026.This study introduces a portable radar system for real‐time monitoring of respiratory and heart rates in dairy cows. It uses millimeter‐wave Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar to perform noncontact physiological sensing, reducing behavioral disturbance. The radar system's design prioritizes portability, cost‐effectiveness, and robustness,

Preemptive Entry and Technology Diffusion: The Market for Drive‐In Theaters
The RAND Journal of Economics, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 471-494, Autumn (Fall) 2026.ABSTRACT This article studies entry preemption in new industries. We first test a key prediction of dynamic entry games: Entry preemption is most relevant in intermediate‐sized markets, where firms face highest uncertainty about future entry. Using US drive‐in theater market (1945–1957) data, we find robust evidence for this non‐monotonic relationship ...

International Review of Finance, Volume 26, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT The first half of the 2020's has seen a degree of economic and geo‐political uncertainty not observed since the 1970s. This paper looks at how listed real estate is exposed to capital market shocks by estimating Conditional Value‐at‐Risk (CoVaR), which captures the sensitivity of real estate returns to extreme movements in broader equity ...

Provincialising Patriarchy: Methodological Interventions in Geography
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Provincialising has become a commonly used tactic in Geography to overcome the discipline's attachment to global North's modernity. Provincialising means decolonising knowledge by showing the limits of European categorisations, highlighting instead, temporal and place‐based differences in categories, assumptions and paradigms. It has therefore

A QUBO Formulation for Multi‐Material Topology Optimization With Quantum Annealing
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 16, 30 August 2026.ABSTRACT Multi‐material topology optimization (MMTO) seeks the optimal distribution of multiple materials within a given design domain to maximize structural performance. However, due to the high complexity of the solution space, MMTO problems are often trapped in local optima. To address this issue, a quantum annealing‐based MMTO framework is proposed.
