Organizational adaptation, task complexity, and effective administration of unemployment programs in the American states

Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, EarlyView.
Abstract IT modernization reforms seek to improve administrative performance by improving the delivery of program benefits. Performance benefits manifest in a reduction in agency‐induced administrative errors, and a reduction in performance gaps between high and low complexity task caseloads.

The Role of Counterion Size in Defining Star‐Shaped Polyelectrolytes Thermodynamics, Conformations, and Ion Dynamics

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this work, we systematically investigate the impact of counterion size on the behavior of star‐shaped strong polyelectrolytes in dilute aqueous solutions using Langevin simulations and a primitive model of electrolytes. Varying both the counterion diameter and the number of arms of the polyelectrolyte, we demonstrate that both ...

Proteolytic stabilization of a spider venom peptide results in an orally active bioinsecticide

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Selective editing out of an insect gut protease cleavage site renders a spider‐derived insecticidal peptide active by ingestion by insect pests. Abstract BACKGROUND The toxin peptide U1‐AGTX‐Ta1b from the Hobo spider, Eratigena agrestis (Walckenaer, 1802), was studied to determine its potential to serve as a bioinsecticide.

Toward Useful Quantum Kernels

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
The hybrid approach to Quantum Supervised Machine Learning is compatible with Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices but hardly useful. Pure quantum kernels requiring fault‐tolerant quantum computers are more promising. Examples are kernels computed by means of the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) and kernels defined via the calculation of ...

The natural history of periodontal disease—Part 2: In populations with access to dental care: The Studies of Health in Pomerania (SHIP)

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In this descriptive analysis of the 21‐year follow‐up data from the SHIP‐START cohort and the 7‐year follow‐up data from the SHIP‐TREND cohort, we report the progression of clinical attachment levels (CAL), age effects on CAL change, and a detailed description of CAL progression and remission. At baseline, 4307 and 4420 persons participated in

Balancing allocative and dynamic efficiency with redundant R&D allocation: The role of organizational proximity and centralization

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Resource‐based‐view scholars have mainly examined two resource allocation approaches for competitive advantage in multiunit firms: resource sharing and resource redeployment. These approaches emphasize allocative efficiency—the optimal allocation of resources to maximize their current value. In technology‐intensive industries,

Habitat heterogeneity from lidar and hyperspectral data: Implications for bird guilds and restoration management of coal mines

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
This study underscores the need to design a mosaic of habitats with complex vertical structures, emphasising the critical role of senescent vegetation and unaltered terrain features in supporting biodiversity. Finally, it provides evidence that integrating habitat heterogeneity metrics derived from airborne remote sensing data into restoration success ...

The Exposure of Australia's Housing Stock to Climate Risks

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change has significantly influenced the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events impacting the globe, including Australia. This has implications for various sectors, including the housing market. Utilising postcode‐level climate risk data—including for cyclones, floods, heatwaves, water stress, and wildfires—and data from the ...
