Doing urban geography in times of crisis: introduction to the forum “Urban geography in times of crisis” by H. Hilbrandt, J. Ren

“…As crises restrict mobility or create precarious working conditions, they have not only shaped the everyday research life of many scholars worldwide, but also defined current knowledge (production) through the absence of certain scholars' voices at international conferences or in international publications. Having patterned global theory formation in this way, crises are firmly embedded in any knowledge canon.…”

Pixel‐wise supervision for presentation attack detection on identity document cards by Raghavendra Mudgalgundurao, Patrick Schuch, Kiran Raja, Raghavendra Ramachandra, Naser Damer

“…The authors motivate the approach to use pixel‐wise supervision to leverage minute cues on various artefacts such as moiré patterns and artefacts left by the printers. The baseline benchmark is presented using different handcrafted and deep learning models on a newly constructed in‐house database obtained from an operational system consisting of 886 users with 433 bona fide, 67 print and 366 display attacks. …”

Structured P2P Overlay of Mobile Brokers for Realizing Publish/Subscribe Communication in VANET by Tulika Pandey, Deepak Garg, Manoj Madhava Gore

“…In one approach, lots of preinstalled infrastructures are needed whereas, in another, the quality of service is not guaranteed due to unpredictable moving and stopping patterns of vehicles. In this paper, we present the architecture of distributed mobile brokers which are dynamically reconfigurable in the form of structured P2P overlay and act as rendezvous points for matching publications and subscriptions. …”

Sentinels of environmental change: shifts in fish diversity through the lens of artisanal fishers by Marco Aurélio Alves Santos, Fernando Mayer Pelicice

“…This study investigated how artisanal fishers perceive changes in fish diversity in response to river regulation, considering four facets: (i) fish abundance, (ii) species records, (iii) capture patterns, and (iv) most valued fish. Between August and October 2018, we conducted systematic interviews with 30 artisanal fishers that operate in the area impounded by Lajeado Dam (middle Tocantins River). …”

Large-Time-Step-Based Ray-Tracing Modeling of Light Delivery in One-Sidedly Cladding-Removed Step-Index Plastic Optical Fiber under Arbitrary Weave Structure by Sun Hee Moon, In Hwan Sul

“…The cladding-removed plastic optical fiber was adopted in a textile weave structure, and its light scattering was measured quantitatively by varying the removal length, fiber curvature, and fabric weave patterns. To show the validity of the proposed simulation technique, twill structures with varying number of cross repeat numbers were used as a testbed. …”
