Dynamic placement in refugee resettlement by Ahani, N, Gölz, P, Procaccia, AD, Teytelboym, A, Trapp, AC

“…Our algorithm is based on two-stage stochastic programming and achieves over 98% of the hindsight-optimal employment, compared with under 90% of current greedy-like approaches. This dramatic improvement persists even when we incorporate a vast array of practical features of the refugee resettlement process including inseparable families, batching, and uncertainty with respect to the number of future arrivals. …”

Spontaneous symmetry breaking of an optical polarization state in a polarization-selective nonlinear reson by Manannikov, K, Mironova, E, Poliakov, A, Mikhaylov, A, Ulanov, A, Lvovsky, A

“…We propose utilizing this mechanism to simulate an Ising-like interaction between multiple spatial modes and as a basis for a fully optical coherent Ising machine (CIM).…”

Towards the understanding of heavy quarks hadronization: from leptonic to heavy-ion collisions by Altmann, J, Dubla, A, Greco, V, Rossi, A, Skands, P

“…As several recent findings demonstrate, with e+e- collisions as a “vacuum-like” reference at one extreme, and central nucleus–nucleus as a dense, extended size system characterized by flow and local equilibrium at the opposite extreme, different collision systems offer a lever arm that can be exploited to probe with a range of heavy-flavour hadron species the onset of various hadronization processes. …”

How in-person conversations shape political polarization: quasi-experimental evidence from a nationwide initiative by Fang, X, Heuser, S, Stötzer, LS

“…We find asymmetric effects: conversations with like-minded individuals caused political views to become more extreme (ideological polarization); by contrast, conversations with contrary-minded individuals did not lead to a convergence of political views, but significantly reduced negative beliefs and attitudes toward ideological out-group members (affective polarization), while also improving perceived social cohesion more generally. …”

Dynamic placement in refugee resettlement by Ahani, N, Gölz, P, Procaccia, AD, Teytelboym, A, Trapp, AC

“…Our algorithm achieves over 98% of the hindsight- optimal employment compared to under 90% of current greedy-like approaches. This dramatic improvement persists even when we incorporate a vast array of practical features of the refugee resettlement process including indivisible families, batching, and uncertainty with respect to the number of future arrivals. …”

Unsettling subject English in the 21st century by Elliott, VF, McLean Davies, L

“…We see this as an opening up of a comparative conversation about subject English across the Anglophone world, the different contexts of unsettling, and what that subject might look like if it is to enact the justice imperatives of education in the 21st century. …”

团派与中共派系政治 = “Tuan Pai” and factionalism in Chinese politics by 卢凌之 Lu, Lingzhi

“…The conclusion of the thesis suggests that TuanPai is a loosely structured group of politicians with many sub-factions such as Ling Jihua Clique. TuanPai and its sub clique serves to consolidate Hu’s power base in CPC political system where authority is yet sufficiently institutionalized. …”
