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.

Dyonic Kerr–Sen black hole’s resonant scattering: absorption and superradiance

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
We analytically investigate scalar superradiant scattering in the rotating dyonic Kerr–Sen black hole of Einstein–Maxwell-dilaton–axion theory. Starting from the separable Klein–Gordon equation for a massive neutral scalar field, we work in the low ...

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.

Estimation of Weighted Extropy Under the α-Mixing Dependence Condition

Stats
Introduced as a complementary concept to Shannon entropy, extropy provides an alternative perspective for measuring uncertainty. While useful in areas such as reliability theory and scoring rules, extropy in its original form treats all outcomes equally,

Nonparametric e-tests of symmetry [PDF]

The notion of an e-value has been recently proposed as a possible alternative to critical regions and p-values in statistical hypothesis testing. In this paper we consider testing the nonparametric hypothesis of symmetry, introduce analogues for e-values

Essential, Yet Precarious, Mistreated, Sick and Medicalized: A Sequential Explanatory Mixed‐Methods Study on Homecare Aides in Spain

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Homecare aides (HCAs) are professional non‐family caregivers, who support dependent individuals to live at home with dignity; yet in Spain they remain understudied and vulnerable, often facing precarious working conditions. We aimed to characterize HCAs’ employment, living conditions, health, and exposure to workplace violence and ...

Research on Diaphragm Pump Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Res‐DCB‐Net

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonstationary pressure pulsation signals of diaphragm pumps contain strong background noise and coupled characteristics. This makes it challenging to extract incipient fault features and to decouple faults with similar physical mechanisms. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a spatiotemporal fault diagnosis model named Res‐DCB ...

A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

Rank estimating equations for partial spline models with monotonicity [PDF]

, 2010
For partial spline models with a monotone nonlinear component, a class of monotone estimating equations is proposed for estimating the slope parameters of the vector of covariables Z of the linear component, while adjusting for the corresponding ranks of

Microwave‐Assisted Alcoholysis of Ethylene–Vinyl Acetate: Phenomenological and Thermal Evolution of EVAOH Terpolymers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Microwave‐assisted alcoholysis converts EVA into EVAOH terpolymers, promoting a progressive transition from EVA‐like crystallites to VOH‐rich hydrogen‐bonded crystalline domains. Solvent‐controlled swelling influences conversion kinetics, while thermal analysis reveals a sigmoidal increase in melting temperature that a two‐population crystallization ...
