This article offers a systematic review of available studies on gentrification and displacement with the primary goal of identifying the few (relative to the number of publications) solutions or strategies being suggested for mitigating displacement. We categorize these strategies into 3 types: tenants' protection, controlling ownership and development, and community empowerment. Each strategy is accompanied by various tools which may differ from one context to another. Finally, proposing that displacement can be controlled, the article concludes that counteracting the negative effects of gentrification requires more than just reducing displacement. In other words, we believe that there are several issues beyond physical displacement to be considered in order to make gentrification socially acceptable.

The main objective of this research was to compare physicochemical parameters, antioxidant activity, lipid composition, and sensory analysis of initial and roasted carob pod powder (Ceratonia siliqua L.) obtained at different roasting temperatures. The roasted products became darker and the average moisture content, water activity, oil content, and sweetness values decreased at higher temperatures. Total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity increased with increasing roasted temperature. Oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid were the main fatty acids present in carob oil. Results showed that the roasted carob pod powders are sweeter, have more caramel-like taste, and have more cacao-like aroma at lower roasting temperatures but have more astringent taste, coffee-like aroma, and roasted aroma at higher roasting temperatures.

This article focuses on cultural and creative activities and the development of local communities. Several studies on North America, Europe and Latin America have shown that this type of activity may have a positive impact on the local economy and living environments, and in particular on the sense of territorial belonging and on relations between citizens. In this text, we propose a reading of the impact of neighborhood cultural initiatives in the context of local socio-economic development based on a set of indicators of the local cultural vitality of a neighborhood. The empirical research was carried out in Montreal, namely on two boroughs: Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie and Sud-Ouest.

Finite element analysis of solid mechanics is a foundational tool of modern engineering, with low-order finite element methods and assembled sparse matrices representing the industry standard for implicit analysis. We use performance models and numerical experiments to demonstrate that highorder methods greatly reduce the costs to reach engineering tolerances while enabling effective use of GPUs. We demonstrate the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of matrix-free p-multigrid methods with algebraic multigrid coarse solvers through large deformation hyperelastic simulations of multiscale structures. We investigate accuracy, cost, and execution time on multi-node CPU and GPU systems for moderate to large models using AMD MI250X (OLCF Crusher), NVIDIA A100 (NERSC Perlmutter), and V100 (LLNL Lassen and OLCF Summit), resulting in order of magnitude efficiency improvements over a broad range of model properties and scales. We discuss efficient matrix-free representation of Jacobians and demonstrate how automatic differentiation enables rapid development of nonlinear material models without impacting debuggability and workflows targeting GPUs.
