When home and work are not enough. The challenge of international migrants’ agency in the Italian Alps by Andrea Membretti, Fabio Lucchini, Monica Gilli, Mia Scotti

“…Difficulties in accessing public space and public sphere, scarce social recognition, low status, housing isolation (as is the case of those who live in small mountain villages), professional ghettoisation: these are factors that, even in presence of an acceptable working and housing inclusion, make it difficult for international migrants to exercise their rights, to have their skills recognised, and, ultimately, to develop an agency genuinely linked to their capabilities. …”

Channel Parameter Estimation for Scatter Cluster Model Using Modified MUSIC Algorithm by Jinsheng Yang, Xuzhao Wu, Qing Wang

“…In this paper, we estimate the time of arrival (TOA), the direction of arrival (DOA), and Doppler frequency for scatter cluster model by the modified multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. Using the space-time characteristics of the multiray channel, the proposed algorithm combines the temporal filtering techniques and the spatial smoothing techniques to isolate and estimate the incoming rays. …”

The third way: the contribution of academic quality assurance third spacers to ‘pedagogical partnership’ by Katie Akerman, Ceri Hunter

“…We consider the evolution of ourselves as third spacers in informing and shaping the practice of academic colleagues through our third-space knowledge and experience (Whitchurch, 2012) in conjunction with the introduction of V5, ‘collaborate with others to enhance practice’, in the UK Professional Standards Framework 2023 (AdvanceHE, 2023). …”

Maximising the wrench capability of mobile manipulators with experiments on a UVMS by Wilhelm J. Marais, Oscar Pizarro, Stefan B. Williams

“…The wrench maximisation problem is formulated as a bi-level optimisation problem, with upper-level variables in a low-dimensional parameterised redundancy space, and a linear lower-level problem. We additionally consider the cases of one or more manipulators with multiple contact forces, maximising the wrench capability while tracking a trajectory and generating large wrench impulses using dynamic motions. …”

Relating the Hall conductivity to the many-body Chern number using Fermi’s Golden rule and Kramers–Kronig relations by Goldman, Nathan, Ozawa, Tomoki

“…This work provides a surprisingly simple demonstration that the quantized Hall conductivity of correlated insulators is given by the many-body Chern number, a topological invariant defined in the space of twisted boundary conditions. In contrast to conventional proofs, generally based on the Kubo formula, our approach entirely relies on combining Kramers–Kronig relations and Fermi’s golden rule within a circular-dichroism framework. …”

Measuring spatial - temporal of Yazd urban form using spatial metrics by saeed zanganeh

“…The conclusion revealed that in four periods of study, complexity or irregularity of the urban patch shapes has increased, centrality or average distance of the dispersed parts to the city center has decreased, compactness or the number and area of patches their distance from each other has decreased, porosity or ratio of open space has increased and finally population density of city has decreased in a large amount. …”

Elastodynamic Solutions of a Finite Soil Layer under Interior Distributed Actions by Shiping Zhang, Zhan Xu

“…The results show that the proposed solution can cover the classical half-space solution by taking enough large thickness of the elastic layer (e.g., the ratio of the layer thickness beneath the load to the load radius ≥50) and the surface load solution by setting the load depth to zero; the underlying rigid base has significant and complex influence on the dynamic response of the thin layer due to wave reflections, which needs to be considered in the design and practice of related engineering.…”
