'It hurts my heart': Afghan women in London negotiating family relationships and (im)mobility regimes across borders by Ryan, Louise, López, María E., Rasa, Mursal

“…Paying attention to the specificities of spatial contexts and infrastructures in framing opportunities and obstacles to transnational care, we apply the concept of immobility regimes. Beyond a simple bi‐national focus on countries of origin and residence, we explore how the women navigate these regimes, across multiple countries and different visa regimes to arrange in‐person visits with geographically dispersed kin. …”

Data-driven distributionally robust CVaR portfolio optimization under a regime-switching ambiguity set by Pun, Chi Seng, Wang, Tianyu, Yan, Zhenzhen

“…Methodology/Results: This paper models the nonstationarity by a regime-switching ambiguity set. In particular, we incorporate the time-varying feature of the stochastic environment into the traditional Wasserstein ambiguity set to build our regime-switching ambiguity set. …”

DEM study of the size-induced segregation dynamics of a ternary-size granular mixture in the rolling-regime rotating drum by Yang, Shiliang, Zhang, Liangqi, Luo, Kun, Chew, Jia Wei

“…In view of the ubiquitous continuous particle size distributions, this study builds on the considerable knowledge gained so far from binary-size mixtures and extends it to a ternary-size mixture to understand the impact of the presence of a third particle size in the three-dimensional rotating drum operating in the rolling flow regime. The discrete element method is employed. The evolution of segregation, the active-passive interface, and the dynamical response of the particle-scale characteristics of the different particle types in the two regions are investigated. …”

Early Neoarchean geodynamic regime in the North China Craton: constraints from 2.7 Ga granitoids in the southern Jilin terrane by Liu, J, Zhang, H, Palin, RM, Liu, Z, Zhang, J, Cheng, C, Liu, X, Zhao, C

“…<p>Identifying the processes responsible for the generation and evolution of the Archean continental crust is crucial for understanding the tectonic regimes present on early Earth. A major episode of continental growth during the early Neoarchean has been identified in many cratons worldwide. …”

From private entrepreneurship to state monopoly: contracting Swiss soldiers for Dutch Service under Ancien Régime Fiscal- Military Practices (1693–1829) by Depreter, M

“…This contribution examines Dutch contracting practices to hire Swiss troops during the Ancien Régime, from the first contracts directly negotiated in the Protestant cantons by Petrus Valckenier (1693-1694) during the Nine Years’ War, seizing opportunities arisen from Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) after a period during which the Dutch seem to have relied on uncertain access to Swiss manpower through French intercession, up to the end of a short-lived revival of Swiss foreign regiments in the newly-instated Kingdom of the Netherlands (1814-1829). …”

Long contraction scour by Koh, Chun Wei

“…Using the incomplete self-similarity method and regression analysis of the database, a predictive scour depth equation was proposed which is suitable for applications with uniform and non-uniform sediments. It was found that the maximum scour depth in a long contraction depends mainly on the effect of the densimetric Froude number (Fo,d84), width ratio of the uncontracted to the contracted channel (B1/B2), sediment gradation (σg), and the relative sediment size (d84/h1). …”
