Keeping Pace or Falling Behind? The Depth of Latin American Trade Agreements

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether Latin American countries are keeping pace with global trends in trade agreement depth or falling behind. Using 681 agreements (1970–2019), we develop the Depth Index of Trade Agreements (DITA) to weight provisions endogenously through factor analysis based on co‐occurrence patterns.

Chalcogen‐Bond‐Driven Electrochemical Bromide Sequestration in Benzothiazole‐Functionalized Covalent Organic Frameworks

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
To address the unresolved challenge of selective bromide removal from reverse‐osmosis permeate, we developed benzothiazole‐functionalized COF/rGO electrodes that exploit directional chalcogen bonding to preferentially capture Br− over Cl−. The mesoporous BTzTp@rGO electrode achieved a maximum Br− uptake of 36.7 mg g−1, a Br−/Cl− selectivity factor of ...

Quantifying Consumer Tradeoffs Across Firm‐Level Strategic Positioning Dimensions: Evidence from US Craft Beer Consumers

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strategic positioning becomes increasingly important as markets mature, particularly in consumer‐facing industries that offer similar products, experiential cues, and values‐based messages. This study offers a conceptual model to examine the strategic positioning factors that motivate consumers to visit one local business over another before ...

Emotional Processing following Cortical and Subcortical Brain Damage: Contribution of the Fronto-Striatal Circuitry

Behavioural Neurology, 1998
The present study examined the differential contribution of cortical and subcortical brain structures in emotional processing by comparing patients with focal cortical lesions (n = 32) to those with primarily subcortical dysregulation of the basal ...

Preoperative FIB‐4 Index as a Potential Factor Associated With Severe Postoperative Complications and Endogenous Organ Failure After Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that a preoperative FIB‐4 index ≥ 5.0 independently predicts severe complications and endogenous organ failure (EOF) following hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. By capturing structural liver fragility and systemic vulnerability, the FIB‐4 index enhances surgical risk stratification beyond traditional functional markers ...

Gaussian Process Regression–Neural Network Hybrid with Optimized Redundant Coordinates: A New Simple Yet Potent Tool for Scientist's Machine Learning Toolbox

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A machine learning method, opt‐GPRNN, is presented that combines the advantages of neural networks and kernel regressions. It is based on additive GPR in optimized redundant coordinates and allows building a representation of the target with a small number of terms while avoiding overfitting when the number of terms is larger than optimal.

AI‐Enabled RGB Light‐to‐Frequency Sensor for Nondestructive Salinity Stress Monitoring in Medicinal Plants

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A distributed wireless sensing framework enables noninvasive monitoring of plant salinity stress through leaf reflectance measurements acquired with portable optical sensors. The collected data are processed using TinyML‐based neural network models deployed at the edge, enabling accurate, real‐time, and low‐cost classification of salinity levels, while

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

Exposure to heat waves and drought improves subsequent leaf heat tolerance for five oak species in southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.
