Improved Mechanical Performance of Epoxy Systems with Low Loadings of Milled Carbon Fiber via Chemical Surface Modification

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The authors explore thermally initiated diazonium chemical surface modification as a means of improving the mechanical performance of milled carbon fibers in epoxy matrix systems at varying loadings by weight. They report significant improvements at <1% w/w loading through examination of flexural and tensile strength and modulus.

Externalities and common pool licenses: An experimental study of managing differing natural resource uses

open access: yesAgricultural and Resource Economics Review
In this paper, I discuss dual collective action problems in which a resource pool has simultaneous common pool and public good aspects in its usage, such as hunting (consumption) and conservation of wildlife.

Scaling Laws for Economic Productivity: Experimental Evidence in LLM-Assisted Translation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
This paper derives "scaling laws"--empirical relationships between the training compute of Large Language Models (LLMs) and their performance--for economic outcomes. In a preregistered online experiment, 300 professional translators completed 1,800 tasks using one of 13 LLMs (or a control).
