Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cultural capital influences a wide range of social and economic outcomes, yet quantitative measures suitable for policy analysis remain limited. We develop county‐level cultural capital indices for the US based on Bourdieu's framework of objectified, embodied, and institutionalized cultural capital.

Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific

The Journal of EngineeringAs the world's population grows, there is an increasing need for soil improvement techniques to accommodate construction demands. Current methods, most often, suffer from a high CO2 footprint, leading researchers to resort to biological methods of soil ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Sorption in glassy polymer membranes is commonly modeled with the dual‐mode sorption (DMS) model. Fitting the DMS model to sorption isotherms presents challenges, as multiple parameter sets may prove satisfactory. This work presents pyDMS, an open‐source Python package for the computation of DMS parameters obtained via a physics‐informed ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Conventional continuous plants use fixed‐capacity equipment, resulting in high capital risk and suboptimal performance under fluctuating demands. To address these, this study proposes an integrated framework for modular process design and supervisory control capable of adapting to demand uncertainty for long‐term economic viability.

Developing slurries for carbon capture: From synthetic gas mixtures to flue gas
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Deep eutectic solvent (DES)‐based systems have recently emerged as promising alternatives to conventional liquid sorbents for CO2 capture due to their tunable properties and potential for enhanced mass transfer. In this work, two DES‐based slurry systems previously developed for CO2 capture, one aqueous and one non‐aqueous, were further ...

Learning regime‐dependent governing equations: A symbolic decision tree approach
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Many chemical engineering systems are governed by mechanisms that switch across operating regimes, making the data‐driven discovery of regime‐dependent governing equations essential for predictive modeling, optimization, and control. We propose symbolic decision trees for the data‐driven discovery of regime‐dependent governing equations.

A Systems Approach to Civil Engineering Decisions [PDF]
While contemporary civil engineering projects are increasingly complex, the cognitive abilities of the decision maker remain limited. There is a conflict between the complexity that is required to describe a scenario with all its relevant properties and ...
