Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rapid growth in digital finance has expanded credit access for rural smallholders, yet financial capability has not kept pace with access. Where fee structures are opaque and search is costly, this gap raises the risk of expensive borrowing in digital financial services.

2D Piecewise Linear Scalar Fields with Invertible Integral Lines
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Integral lines of the gradient flow are standard features in continuously differentiable scalar fields that enjoy some useful properties: They cover the domain densely, do not split, merge, or intersect, and are therefore invertible. For widely used discretizations of scalar fields, the corresponding polygonal approximations of integral lines ...

Topology‐based Visual Analysis of Hydrothermal Plumes
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Hydrothermal plumes are turbulent structures of intense heat and mineral smoke that rise and disperse into the deep ocean. Existing models generally characterize these systems as a single axisymmetric plume originating from a point source. However, this assumption breaks down in weakly venting, spatially distributed systems, where low‐flux ...

An Exposition of Discrete Morse Theory and Applications [PDF]
, 2021 The classical Morse theory is a powerful tool to study topological properties of a smooth manifold by examining critical points of some differentiable functions on that manifold. Robin Forman developed a discrete variant of Morse theory by adapting it on

Geometry‐Aware Alignment and Comparison of Hierarchical Morse Complexes with Applications
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Scalar fields derived from 3D X‐ray CT scans of samples undergoing ex situ processes, such as thermal aging, chemical etching, or mechanical stress, pose unique challenges for characterizing similarities and differences across acquisitions. Typically, a sample A (source) is imaged, removed, and subjected to experimental conditions that alter ...

Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...

Early Labor Market Outcomes of Young Adults From Same‐Sex Families: Evidence From Population Data
Journal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective This study offers the first population‐based evidence on how young adults from same‐sex families fare when entering the labor market shortly after leaving full‐time education. Background Same‐sex couples' parenting rights remain controversial in many countries.

Discrete Morse theory on graphs [PDF]
, 2009 We characterize the topology of a graph in terms of the critical elements of a discrete Morse function defined on it. Besides, we study the structure and some properties of the gradient vector field induced by a discrete Morse function defined on a graph.

Law &Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT This article identifies three central characteristics of collateral consequences policy in the United States, employing a case study of laws limiting the ability of people with conviction records to serve on juries. Collateral consequences, or collateral sanctions, restrict the rights and privileges of people with criminal histories to engage ...
