How Input Subsidies Boost Food Security in Developing Countries: Micro‐Level Evidence From Zambia
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While previous studies have examined the effects of input subsidies on income and yields, we study their impact on food security, measured through household dietary diversity, a key dimension of nutritional well‐being—examined across specific pathways.

Interval identification of natural effects in the presence of outcome‐related unmeasured confounding
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract With reference to a binary outcome and a binary mediator, we derive identification bounds for natural effects under a reduced set of assumptions. Specifically, no assumptions about confounding are made that involve the outcome; we only assume no unobserved exposure‐mediator confounding as well as a pair of conditions termed Partially Constant ...

Homogeneous Observer‐Based Affine Formation Tracking
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 2692-2704, 25 March 2026.ABSTRACT This article addresses the control of mobile agents, termed followers, to track a time‐varying affine formation specified by a set of leaders. We present a distributed hierarchical method composed of a homogeneous high‐order sliding mode observer and a tracking controller. The observer estimates the followers' target trajectories from neighbor

Journal of Community &Applied Social Psychology, Volume 36, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates the role of some psychological variables associated with populist attitudes, specifically focusing on Conspiracy Mentality (CM) and Uncertainty Avoidance (UA). This approach allows for the examination of both belief‐system orientations and cognitive predispositions in explaining the psychological underpinnings of ...

Generalizability Theory for Randomly Parallel Testing
Journal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 1, Spring 2026.Abstract Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought significant changes to testing practices, including the emergence of randomly parallel testing (RPT), in which examinees receive different but psychometrically similar sets of items generated from templates or AI‐based systems.

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 3, 15 February 2026.ABSTRACT This work presents a fully thermomechanically coupled material model for shape memory alloys (SMAs), capable of predicting shape memory effect, superelasticity, stress and strain recovery, and martensite reorientation. Formulated within the Generalized Standard Material (GSM) framework, the model employs a rate potential, whose variations ...

Use of Automation Technologies and Data Mining in Speech Recognition for Autism
Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Pipeline analyzes clinical and naturalistic speech using LENA, wav2vec 2.0, and foundation‐model ASR (Whisper) to enable scalable ASD detection and severity estimation. Future work integrates benchmarking, privacy‐preserving collaboration (federated learning), and explainable, edge‐ready AI for clinically credible assessment and longitudinal monitoring.

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 20-33, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Rape shield laws restrict the admission of prior sexual history evidence (PSHE) in sexual assault trials in various countries, including Canada and the U.S. Despite such laws, admission of PSHE is often at the discretion of a trial judge. The current study examined the effect of PSHE (present, absent), victim and defendant gender (male, female)

Dimer models and conformal structures
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 340-446, February 2026.Abstract Dimer models have been the focus of intense research efforts over the last years. Our paper grew out of an effort to develop new methods to study minimizers or the asymptotic height functions of general dimer models and the geometry of their frozen boundaries.
