Photo‐Thermal Approaches on Polyimide Film for Demonstration of Sub‐50 µm Polymer Stencil Mask

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A photo‑thermal approach enables precise control of polyimide film properties during UV laser processing, achieving stencil mask fabrication with feature dimensions <50 µm—with the smallest features measuring 42.4 µm. This method maintains the polymer in its glassy state during processing, resulting in exceptional pattern stability and reproducibility.

No evidence of a rural‐urban divide in prioritizing agricultural policy goals

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Rural‐urban divides have been found in various policy fields, but it remains unclear if they exist in agricultural policy. We analyzed the policy preferences of 1542 Swiss respondents, ranging from very rural to very urban. Respondents prioritized different pairs of conflicting goals, that is, two economic goals versus four conflicting agri ...

Multi‐country perspectives on best practices and barriers to preference elicitation lab‐in‐the‐field experiments with farmers

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, we define, categorize, and systematically describe best practices and barriers to implementing preference elicitation lab‐in‐the‐field experiments with farmers based on qualitative, in‐depth interviews with researchers from the Research Network on Economic Experiments for the Common Agricultural Policy (REECAP).

Impact of index insurance on downside income risk: Evidence from northern Kenya

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract We assessed the impact of index‐based livestock insurance (IBLI) on household income and its higher‐order moments (i.e., variance and skewness). The study uses four waves of panel survey data from northern Kenya and applies a two stage least squares (2SLS) instrumental variables regression to estimate the causal impacts.

Neural Power-Optimal Magnetorquer Solution for Multi-Agent Formation and Attitude Control [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for finding the power-optimal currents of magnetorquer, a satellite attitude actuator in Earth orbit, for multi-agent formation and attitude control. Specifically, this study demonstrates that a set of power-optimal solutions can be derived through sequential convex programming and proposes a method to ...

Do Zambian farmers manage climate risks?

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates production responses to climate risk among farmers in Zambia by combining historical rainfall with nationally representative household data. After identifying the importance of January and February rainfall in maize production, we define these months' historical rainfall variations as the climate risk index.
