Sex‐Based Body Composition Changes in Patients With Rectal Cancer Undergoing Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy: A Prospective Observational Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This prospective study observed that preoperative chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer was associated with reductions in body fat and grip strength, which appeared to be more pronounced in female patients. These findings suggest that sex‐sensitive nutritional and exercise support may be beneficial to help maintain muscle mass and physical function ...

Deep Learning–Based Extraction of Promising Material Groups and Common Features from High‐Dimensional Data: A Case of Optical Spectra of Inorganic Crystals

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
We report a novel interpretation method for deep learning models based on feature extraction and clustering. Applying this method to an atomistic line graph neural network (ALIGNN) model trained on optical absorption spectra of 2,681 inorganic compounds obtained from first‐principles calculations, we successfully identify key factors underlying ...

Saturated flow boiling frictional pressure drop inside smooth macro and mini/micro channels: a new predictive tool using CatBoost and XGBoost

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
Reliable prediction of the saturated boiling frictional pressure drop is fundamental to optimum evaporator design. Hence, frictional pressure drop is a critical parameter for improving the efficiency of the evaporator.

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Food inflation pass‐through from agricultural imports in a small open economy

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper develops a new framework for quantifying cost pass‐through in a small open economy by estimating firm‐level markup responses to agricultural import price shocks. We show theoretically that markup adjustments depend on firms' reliance on imported inputs and demand curvature, generating heterogeneous inflationary effects across firm ...

Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.
