Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Efficient and Asymptotically Optimal Vehicle Motion Planning With Stochastic Template-Based RRT*

IEEE Access
Kinodynamic motion planning plays a vital role in robotics, particularly in autonomous driving, where planned trajectories must satisfy kinematic and dynamic constraints while ensuring both safety and efficiency.

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.

Preliminary and Shrinkage-Type Estimation for the Parameters of the Birnbaum–Saunders Distribution Based on Modified Moments

Stats
The two-parameter Birnbaum–Saunders (B-S) distribution is widely applied across various fields due to its favorable statistical properties. This study aims to enhance the efficiency of modified moment estimators for the B-S distribution by systematically

Inferring Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity Status From the Electronic Health Records Across Health Systems

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Disease activity plays a central role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) clinical studies. The inconsistent availability of data on disease activity in real‐world electronic health records (EHRs) data has limited the ability to generate real‐world evidence (RWE).

Repeating Nuclear Transients From Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extragalactic nuclear transients that exhibit repeating outbursts can be modeled as the repeated dynamical interaction between bound stars and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). A subset of these transients, with recurrence timescales of months‐to‐years, have been explained as accretion flares from the repeated tidal stripping of a star by an ...

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

Innovation Pathways to Carbon Efficiency: Disentangling the Effects of AI, R&D, and Clean Energy Blessings on U.S. Environmental Sustainability

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The United States (U.S.) faces challenges in achieving its ambitious net‐zero carbon emissions target by 2050, with current emissions having fallen by less than 1% in 2024. Despite an investment of $500 billion in low‐carbon resources while holding the second‐largest green technology patent portfolio globally, it is further imperative to ...

Firm‐Size Heterogeneity in the Effects of ESG Disclosure on Firm Value Under Institutional Reform: Evidence From Japan

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Focusing on firm‐size heterogeneity, this study examines how institutional reform reshapes the effects of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure on firm value. Using 2019–2023 panel data on 1427 Japanese listed firms (before and after the 2022 Tokyo Stock Exchange reorganization and Corporate Governance Code revision), this ...

The Future of Foundation Machine Learning Potentials and DFT in Homogeneous Catalysis: Competition or Synergy?

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Machine‐learning potentials are increasingly taking on the exploratory tasks of homogeneous catalysis, enabling rapid conformer sampling and reaction‐space mapping. However, when selectivity depends on subtle electronic effects, electronic‐structure methods remain essential.
