'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. …”

Optimum transmitter current distribution for dynamic wireless power transfer with segmented array by Jayathurathnage, Prasad Kumara Sampath, Alphones, Arokiaswami, Vilathgamuwa, D. Mahinda, Ong, Andrew

“…The misalignment problem is a major challenge in dynamic wireless power transfer systems with a segmented transmitter (Tx) array. Tx coils farther away from receiver (Rx) experience higher currents as compared to Tx coils nearer to Rx coil leading to higher losses and lower performances. …”

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. …”
