Fundamental Challenges, Physical Implementations, and Integration Strategies for Ising Machines in Large‐Scale Optimization Tasks

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Ising machines are emerging as specialized hardware solvers for computationally hard optimization problems. This review examines five major platforms—digital CMOS, analog CMOS, emerging devices, coherent optics, and quantum systems—highlighting physics‐rooted advantages and shared bottlenecks in scalability and connectivity.

Recycled Piezoelectric Materials with Competitive Second‐Life Functional Properties

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The essential piezoelectric ceramics with heavy ecological footprints are not sufficiently recycled. This work demonstrates the feasibility of recycling different types of piezoelectric ceramics using different binders, where the terpolymer binder with relatively large permittivity facilitated superior retention of properties after recycling, promoting

2023–2027 CAP First Pillar Reform and Livestock Sector: Production and Economic Impacts on Italian Specialized Dairy Cattle Farms

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study uses an agroeconomic supply model to assess the impacts of 2023–2027 CAP on Italian specialized dairy cattle farms. The model considers the voluntary choice of Eco‐Scheme 1, specifically addressed to livestock farms, through the implementation of binary variables.

Closing Africa’s water balance budget: Assessing the suitability of eight latest precipitation products

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
While numerous studies have evaluated precipitation products by comparing them with in-situ observations, the suitability of these products for closing the water balance budget in Africa remains largely unexplored.

Livestock Tango: U.S. and Latin America Dance Together, but Who Will Lead?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the competitiveness between Latin American and U.S. livestock and meat sectors. We employ a computable general equilibrium modeling framework to evaluate two scenarios: coordinated improvements in Latin American productivity, transport efficiency, and market access (Scenario I), and the minimum productivity gains required ...

Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

Balancing budgets. Political explanations of central government’s budget balance

, 2010
This thesis tries to identify which political and societal factors influence central governments' fiscal balance. It conducts the analysis using the statistical technique longitudinal multilevel models. 46 electoral democracies are covered between 1980 and 2006.

Synergies in Agricultural Biodiversity Conservation: Decomposing the Interaction Between Nature Parks and Agri‐Environment Schemes

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how policy instruments with overlapping goals interact is crucial for leveraging their synergies. This study explores the mechanisms for regional nature parks (a form of protected areas that impose no restrictions on agriculture) to enhance the adoption of biodiversity‐conserving agri‐environment schemes (AES) in Switzerland ...

Markets Mitigate Land‐Use Competition From Energy Crops and Increase Farm Revenues

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meeting the US Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge target of 35 billion gal annually by 2050 will require an estimated 380 million–700 million dry tons of agricultural biomass feedstock. This study evaluates the implications of large‐scale biomass production for land use, crop production, and market outcomes under mature market ...

Balancing the books – a statistical theory of prospective budgets in Earth System science [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2003
An honest declaration of the error in a mass, momentum or energy balance, ε, simply raises the question of its acceptability: 'At what value of ε is the attempted balance to be rejected?' Answering this question requires a reference quantity ...
