Balancing Exploration and Exploitation Through a Sequential Hybrid of Roach Infestation and Mayfly Algorithms for Constrained Engineering Design Optimization

open access: yesAI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining an effective balance between exploration and exploitation is essential during optimization processes, from mathematical functions to more complex problems such as constrained engineering design optimization, particularly when addressing highly nonlinear issues with numerous local optima and strict feasibility requirements.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Lost in aggregation? On the importance of local food price data for food poverty estimates

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores within‐country variations in food price dynamics and food poverty estimates by employing local market price data and national consumer price index (CPI) data. Our results show that national CPI data may be useful for approximating national trends but they fail to detect and identify spatial variations in local trends, which

Host‐Specific Interactions Between Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Impair Epithelial Repair in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is frequently associated with polymicrobial biofilms involving Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Interactions between these organisms are thought to influence disease severity, but the epithelial effects of exoproteins derived from patient‐matched cocultures remain poorly defined ...

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...
