Mapping Our Cities for All: A participatory baseline of business accessibility in Canada

Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, Volume 70, Issue 1, Spring / printemps 2026.
Abstract Canada has committed to eliminating accessibility barriers by 2040, yet municipalities lack clear, comparable evidence on where building access breaks down. To address this gap, we set out to produce and test a participatory, city‐scale method to measure building accessibility of businesses. We report results from Mapping Our Cities for All, a

Divide and Fuse: A Re-ranking Approach for Person Re-identification

, 2017
As re-ranking is a necessary procedure to boost person re-identification (re-ID) performance on large-scale datasets, the diversity of feature becomes crucial to person reID for its importance both on designing pedestrian descriptions and re-ranking ...

Organic Farming Practices Facilitate Soil Carbon Stabilisation Following Massive Application of Ramial Chipped Wood: A Case Study of Sweet Potato Cultivation

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
ABSTRACT Improving soil organic matter contents in semi‐arid zones reduces the risk of soil degradation and improves climatic resilience. As a technique for the recarbonisation of abandoned or degraded soils, applications of massive amounts of exogenous biomass (EB) such as wood chips have not been widely tested, and agronomic integration is still ...
