Bathyspheres, dust devils, lunar plumes and Martian drones: a generalised mathematical model for particle-fluid flow fields generated by static particle bed entrainment across macroscopic scales See

We consider a recently derived mathematical model for the mechanism by which a wind driven flow entrains particles into a fluid from an otherwise static particle bed, a process that is fundamental in initiating and driving the phenomenon of particle cloud formation. This model ...

Nature-Based Solutions for Managing Urban Pluvial Flood Risk: A Systematic Review of Hazard Drivers, Modelling Approaches, and Climate Scenario Integration See

Urban pluvial flood risk is intensifying under climate change, driving growing interest in nature-based solutions and blue–green infrastructure as adaptation measures. However, substantial heterogeneity in hazard characterisation, intervention types and design, modelling approaches, performance metrics, and climate&...

‘They view HRM as obstructive rather than helpful’: HRM devolution in flexibility i-deal negotiations for women in international law firms See

Flexible work arrangements (FWAs) have garnered significant attention over the past four decades for promoting work-life integration. This paper extends theorisation of individualised flexible work arrangements (flexibility i-deals), which are bespoke agreements negotiated between employees and employers. While...

Megatrends affecting the world of work: Implications for human resource management See

Purpose: The purpose of the anthology is to explore how major societal shifts or “megatrends” are impacting the world of work and to provide guidance for human resource management (HRM) professionals. Design/methodology/approach: The anthology adopts a varied ...

Returning to Work After Divorce: Gendered Experiences of Street-Level Bureaucrats in Egypt See

This study adopts a phenomenon‐based approach and conducts two rounds of interviews with 40 street‐level bureaucrats in the Egyptian public sector to explore the experiences of divorced female and male bureaucrats returning to work after divorce, as well as the impact of divorce on...

From Pipe Dream to Meaningful Action: How MNEs Can Deliver Decent Work See

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) wield significant power to shape labor conditions across borders. Yet, despite their reach, many continue to reproduce exploitative practices through outsourcing and fragmented supply chains. Drawing on research across multiple marginalized segments of the workforce, we...

Particle transformers for identifying Lorentz-boosted Higgs bosons decaying to a pair of W bosons See

A novel deep neural network classifier, a “particle transformer” (ParT), is introduced for the identification of highly Lorentz-boosted resonances reconstructed as single, multipronged jets in measurements and searches performed by the CMS Collaboration at the CERN LHC. Based on a self-attention&...
