‘Let's Turn the Grass Into Meat’: Animal Husbandry as Women's Work in Cold War North Korea

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In postcolonial North Korea, the future of the nation was said to be a function of the feedlot. Unobtainable on the battlefields of the recently ended Korean War, liberation and unification of the peninsula became a question of competitive developmentalism.

AutoPollS: A tool for automated monitoring of pollinators using deep learning

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep learning and computer vision hold enormous potential for automated monitoring of biodiversity, including pollinators and other insects. Efficient, scalable monitoring of insect pollinators is crucial given pollinators' role in supporting biodiversity and agricultural productivity amidst declining pollinator populations.

From Human Hands to Machine Minds: Financing AI‐Driven Entrepreneurship in Reward‐Based Crowdfunding

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption on financing performance in reward‐based crowdfunding. Using Kickstarter data from US projects, we find that AI projects have lower pledged amounts, receive fewer donations and attract fewer backers.

Buyers' response to third‐party quality certification: Theory and evidence from Ethiopian wheat traders

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract When quality attributes of a product are not directly observable, third‐party certification (TPC) enables buyers to distinguish between quality levels and reward sellers accordingly. We study the adoption of TPC by traders in smallholder‐based agricultural value chains in low‐income countries, where traders aggregate products from many small ...

Blind Image Deblurring via Bayesian Estimation Using Expected Loss

IEEE Access
This paper introduces a new approach to single image blind deblurring via Bayesian estimation using expected loss, diverging from traditional maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation methods that are limited by the delta kernel problem-a phenomenon where ...

Luminescence dating of coastal deposits from the Chanthaburi Plain, Thailand

Boreas, EarlyView.
The ongoing global sea‐level rise urges us to better understand the dynamics of coastal processes for predicting future changes. Sedimentary deposits reflect past coastal environments but require precise chronological data to place evidence into a temporal context.

Dual-Branch CNN–Mamba Method for Image Defocus Deblurring

Applied Sciences
Defocus deblurring is a challenging task in the fields of computer vision and image processing. The irregularity of defocus blur kernels, coupled with the limitations of computational resources, poses significant difficulties for defocused image ...

Hierarchical Differentiable Fluid Simulation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce a two‐step algorithm that significantly reduces memory usage for solving control problems using differentiable fluid simulation techniques: our method first optimizes for bulk forces at reduced resolution, then refines local details over sub‐domains while maintaining differentiability. In trading runtime for memory, it enables optimization

Adaptive Sampling for BRDF Acquisition

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We propose a data‐driven adaptive sampling strategy that predicts the optimal sampling pattern and count for BRDF acquisition from a single image, reducing capture time while preserving quality. Abstract The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) describes the ratio of incoming radiance to outgoing radiance for all possible pairs of ...

Photoacoustic Imaging with a Finite-Size Circular Integrating Detector

Applied Sciences
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has rapidly developed in biomedical imaging. The point spread function (PSF) is critical for addressing image blurring in PAI. However, in circular integrating detection systems, the PSF exhibits spatial variations. This makes
