A green vehicle routing methodology for assessing optimal fleet mix and cost/emissions tradeoffs given environmental policy incentives
Firms affected by green policies are faced with higher costs for more emissions-intensive supply networks and a lower barrier to entry towards adopting HGEVs. However, the exact policy conditions under which firms would be most motivated to change their behaviors remains unclear.

Research university assortativity conditions the integration of regional innovation systems
Substantial policy efforts to develop regional innovation systems (RIS) highlight the importance of understanding the institutional factors that promote integration and synergy at the regional scale. To this end, we analyzed historical patterns of research co-production within and across California and Texas, two US regions that account for >5% of global research publication.

Multiscale mobility: How the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped Mexico’s intermunicipal connectivity
This research shows that while some travel habits have bounced back to pre-pandemic levels, others have shifted for good. Short trips between neighboring towns are on the rise, but long-distance travel is taking longer to recover, signaling a reshaping of regional mobility.

A generalized Bayesian framework for maximizing information gain and model selection
This work presents a novel Bayesian Optimal Experiment Design Selection principle for generalised parameter distributions. The generalization is achieved by extending the β-information gain to the discrete distributions. The β-information gain is based on what is known as the Bhattacharyya coefficient.

A typology of rules for knowledge exchange in higher-order interactions
Through ‘social learning’, ideas and behaviours can spread quickly through our social networks. The authors classify different ways that social learning occurs in groups and provide a list of and mathematical formulae for many potential rules.

A dynamic model of segregation and integration: Incorporating adaptive intolerance, media bias, and conformity into the Schelling framework
Schelling’s model of segregation demonstrated that segregation can develop even with a relatively low level of intolerance among agents. Many researchers have built upon this seminal model, yet few subsequent models have incorporated an adaptive tolerance

Characteristics of immunity and disease-induced mortality synergistically complicate epidemiological dynamics
Disease-induced mortality and immunity are two key pathogen-specific drivers of epidemiological dynamics. As highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, disease-induced mortality can occur not only during active infection, but also following recovery during a period of immunity or after returning to susceptibility.

Food purchase data reveals the locations of London’s ‘food deserts’
While the concept of ‘food deserts’ are commonly thought of as areas lacking nearby supermarkets, in urban environments the issue is more complex—as barriers such as affordability and availability are also prevalent.
