CP32, a novel anti‐oomycete cyclic peptide, interferes with cell‐wall deposition in Phytophthora infestans

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The small cyclic peptide CP32 effectively inhibits Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato and tomato late blight. Combined biochemical and phenotypic analyses demonstrate that CP32 disrupts cell wall biosynthesis, a key process in pathogen infection, resulting in a marked reduction of disease symptoms in plants.

Survey: Competition in Higher Education

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides a bibliometric mapping and economic interpretation of the literature on competition in higher education. Drawing on 1470 Scopus‐indexed articles (1961–2023), we combine descriptive bibliometrics, a keyword co‐occurrence network, and a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) of harmonized author‐assigned keywords with a ...

Scale properties in data envelopment analysis [PDF]

Recently there has been some discussion in the literature concerning the nature of scale properties in the Data Envelopment Model (DEA). It has been argued that DEA may not be able to provide reliable estimates of the optimal scale size. We argue in this

NextGenerationEU Landing: Assessing the Territorial Allocation of Italy's Recovery and Resilience Facility Funding

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to the COVID‐19 crisis, the European Union introduced NextGenerationEU, its largest stimulus package to date. We focus on Italy, the program's largest beneficiary, and analyse the territorial distribution of funds. Although centrally coordinated, most expenditures were awarded through calls and implemented by local governments ...

Performance evaluation using bootstrapping DEA techniques: Evidence from industry ratio analysis [PDF]

In Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) context financial data/ ratios have been used in order to produce a unified measure of performance metric. However, several scholars have indicated that the inclusion of financial ratios create biased efficiency ...

A robust DEA model for measuring the relative efficiency of Iranian high schools [PDF]

Management Science Letters, 2011
One of the most important issues on educational systems is to measure the relative efficiency of similar units based on non-financial factors. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has become popular among many who wish to rank educational systems using ...

Shedding light on the environmental efficiency of the public light service: minimising light pollution through the global Malmquist–Luenberger index

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 528-551, January 2027.
Abstract The search for evidence in public management and the implementation of good management by public bodies is becoming increasingly important, and the principles of effectiveness and efficiency should be reinforced. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the change in efficiency in the provision of public lighting services by local governments ...

A new family of models with generalized orientation in data envelopment analysis

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 580-605, January 2027.
Abstract In the framework of data envelopment analysis, we review directional models and show that they are inadequate when inputs and outputs are improved simultaneously under constant returns to scale. Conversely, we introduce a new family of quadratically constrained models with generalized orientation and demonstrate that these models overcome this

A Nonparametric Multivariate Framework With Stochastic Forecasting: Evaluating Public Pension Service Quality

Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, Volume 42, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Evaluation of service quality in public systems represents a critical challenge in the context of increasing demographic pressure and economic uncertainty. Pension systems, such as the Italian system managed by INPS, can be interpreted as complex service infrastructures whose quality depends on financial sustainability, efficiency, and ...
