Explaining the socio-economic output of urban regions with a model combining urban scaling and polycentricity
(2024)Urban Scaling: Allometry in Urban Studies and Spatial ScienceUrban scaling theory and polycentric urban development are two well-known concepts that draw parallels between configurations and socio-economic conditions of urban regions. Both concepts, however, have some drawbacks, which could potentially be alleviated by combining them in a new model. In this study, income in urban regions in Switzerland is explained by combining the hierarchy of a region’s commuter network (i.e., indicator for ...Book Chapter -
Sedimentary terrestrial records of global environmental change
(2024)Climate and Anthropogenic Impacts on Earth Surface Processes in the AnthropoceneThe Anthropocene represents a phase in the geological timescale during which humans have become a transformative force on a planetary scale. This is already discernible in sedimentary archives that show distinctive changes in sedimentological, geochemical, or biological properties. In terrestrial environments, lacustrine and cave sediment sequences provide examples to illustrate the impact of recent climate fluctuations and anthropic ...Book Chapter -
Data-Driven Modeling in Geomechanics
(2024)Machine Learning in Geomechanics 2: Data-Driven Modeling, Bayesian Inference, Physics- and Thermodynamics-based Artificial Neural Networks and Reinforcement LearningThe framework of data-driven computational mechanics offers a novel avenue to solve problems in geomechanics, including challenging ones that involve failure and localized deformation. Free from the uncertainty of the classical constitutive modeling approach and the caveats of machine learning models, the data-driven formulation offers an alternative paradigm for computation. This chapter reviews the framework for the case of simple and ...Book Chapter -
Role and impact of glass in chemistry, flow chemistry, and microfluidic technologies
(2024)Additive Manufacturing of Glass: from Science to ApplicationsAlong with advances in three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies and additive manufacturing, last decades have witnessed another noteworthy development in materials synthesis and processing with the inclusion of flow chemistry and microfluidic technologies. Specifically, microfluidic technologies provide several benefits during materials synthesis, such as advanced heat and mass transfer in confined spaces, spatiotemporal control over ...Book Chapter -

Cyberwarfare research methods
(2024)Research Handbook on CyberwarfareCyber conflict and cyberwarfare have emerged as central components of International Relations and security studies research, with states exercising power in and through cyberspace to augment existing instruments of statecraft such as warfare. In this chapter, we advance a call to arms and articulate a vision of building a diverse array of theoretically sound and empirically driven research on issues of statecraft as it applies to cyberspace. ...Book Chapter -

The Many Lives of the "European Vagrant" in Colonial Singapore, c. 1890-1940
(2024)Global Connections: Routes and Roots ~ Bodies Beyond Binaries in Colonial and Postcolonial AsiaAmidst mounting anxieties surrounding European vagrancy across Asian port cities, a murder in Hong Kong constituted a tipping point in the push for vagrancy legislation in colonial Singapore, resulting in the enactment of the 1906 Vagrancy Ordinance. This chapter examines the ways in which the “European vagrant” in Singapore was constructed in relation to notions of work, clean-liness, and space, by law and in the English-language press. ...Book Chapter -

Data quality in police work
(2024)Palgrave’s Critical Policing Studies ~ Policing and Intelligence in the Global Big Data Era, Volume II: New Global Perspectives on the Politics and Ethics of KnowledgeThis chapter engages the question of data quality, that is the accuracy and reliability of data, in police work. As the police have established novel ways of using data for analytical and managerial purposes, the question of how they make sure that data-driven decisions can be trusted has been given increased practical and political attention. Based on empirical research, this chapter argues for understanding data quality in a relational ...Book Chapter -

AI and interoperability
(2024)Handbook on Public Policy and Artificial IntelligenceThis chapter reconstructs how interoperability has been framed and is put into practice in the context of the European Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ). The EU has in 2019 adopted an interoperability framework for all major centralized databases that contain information regarding law enforcement, border control, and judicial cooperation. This policy framework defines interoperability for EU internal security as the capacity ...Book Chapter
