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

open access: yesAmerican 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.

HOPE Kids 2: Phase 3, Randomized Trial of Voxelotor in Children With SCD and Conditional Cerebral Blood Flow Velocities

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children with SCD have elevated stroke risk, correlated with cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV). HOPE Kids 2 was a phase 3, multicenter, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial evaluating the effect of voxelotor on CBFV. Participants aged 2 to < 15 years with SCD (HbSS/HbSβ0) and conditional CBFV (170 to < 200 cm/s) were randomized 1:1 to ...

Body mass and sex estimation from lower carnassial tooth morphometry in the endangered Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus): An ecomorphological analysis of sexual size dimorphism

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus) is an endangered subspecies characterized by highly fragmented populations and increasing human–carnivore conflict across the Iberian Peninsula. Although body mass strongly influences predator–prey dynamics and ecological performance, quantitative assessments of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) and body mass

Modeling and parameter estimation for fractional large‐scale interconnected Hammerstein systems

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper addresses the challenge of modeling and identifying large‐scale interconnected systems exhibiting memory effects, hereditary properties, and non‐local interactions. We propose a fractional‐order extension of the Hammerstein architecture that incorporates Grünwald–Letnikov operators to capture complex dynamics through multiple ...
