Improved Cassava Varieties and Smallholder Farmers' Productivity and Welfare in Ghana: Insights From a Robust Impact Estimator Selection Approach

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The development and dissemination of improved agricultural technologies are crucial for enhancing productivity and the welfare of smallholder farmers. Although there is growing empirical evidence on the impact of improved agricultural technologies on various economic and social outcomes, some studies often overlook potential biases.

Engineering selective amyloid precursor protein inhibitors by machine learning and deep mutational scanning

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Deep mutational scanning (DMS) has proven effective for mapping protein–protein interactions (PPIs), but it cannot provide complete coverage of the mutation landscape, particularly for multi‐mutant variants. To address this limitation, we trained machine‐learning (ML) models on previously generated DMS data for a stabilized amyloid precursor ...

Lunar Trailblazer Spacecraft Tracking and Mission Recovery Attempt: Characterization of Status and Behavior of a Non‐Cooperative Object in Cis‐Lunar Space

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Unexpectedly following launch, the Lunar Trailblazer mission experienced software anomalies that led it to orient solar panels away from the sun and lose communication with Earth. This paper describes efforts to determine the spacecraft state and attempt recovery of the mission's science at the Moon.

Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Anti‐Phage Defence Systems

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Panoptes as an example for an antiphage system consists of OptS producing a cyclic dinucleotide that prevents activation of OptE, a transmembrane protein. Phage T4 infection introduces the sponge protein Acb2 that adsorbs the cyclic dinucleotide thus activating OptE which disrupts the cell membrane aborting phage infection.

Testing for Contagion in International Financial Markets: To See More, Go Higher

Financial Review, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 725-763, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Traditional measures of financial contagion rely on correlation shifts, overlooking higher moments such as skewness and kurtosis. We examine contagion during two major financial crises, incorporating lower‐ and higher‐moment measures. We analyze stock market returns from 22 major markets at different frequencies, offering a global perspective ...

Flexible Contract, Flexible Morale? Microcredit Design and Repayment Discipline

International Economic Review, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 893-913, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Flexible repayment benefits borrowers, but practitioners fear increased moral hazard. Investigating their concerns requires disentangling repayment choices from repayment capacity, which is typically infeasible in field studies. We use a lab‐in‐the‐field experiment with 645 microcredit borrowers to cleanly identify the effect of repayment ...

Do Fair Value Adjustments Excluded From Net Income Convey New Information That Is Complementary to GAAP Earnings?

Journal of Business Finance &Accounting, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 1409-1436, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We use banks’ quarterly fair value disclosures to perform the first short‐window event study of fair value adjustments excluded from net income and offer three main results. First, we find that fair value adjustments for banks’ loan portfolios are positively associated with short‐window stock returns and that they impact investors’ response to

Banks of a Feather: The Informational Advantage of Being Alike

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1257-1297, August 2026.
Abstract Banks lend more to banks that are similar to them. Using data from the German credit register and proprietary supervisory data on the quality of banks' loan portfolio, we show that a similar portfolio of the lending and borrowing bank helps to overcome information asymmetries in interbank markets.
