Rural land rental markets in developing countries: Can survey design innovations improve land market participation statistics?

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract A longstanding puzzle in the African land rental market literature is the often‐observed discrepancy between the number of tenants (renters‐in) and the much smaller number of landlords (renters‐out) in survey data. If this discrepancy derives from systematic biases in survey data responses on rental market participation, then the existing body

Welcome to the jangle (fallacy): The case of statistics and mathematics anxieties

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Statistics‐related anxiety is a common barrier to learning in higher education, particularly for psychology and other non‐specialist students. High prevalence rates are concerning because statistical literacy is integral to academic success, employability and informed citizenship.

Single‐grain K‐feldspar luminescence dating on primary and re‐deposited aeolian sediments in Mongolia

Boreas, EarlyView.
Owing to its location in the semi‐arid region of northern Central Asia, Mongolia is highly sensitive to climate change and therefore provides an excellent setting for palaeoenvironmental research. Proxy data from different sediment types are crucial for interpreting past climate changes and landscape evolution, while burial ages provide chronological ...

Depositional processes of varved sediments from proglacial Lago Frías since 1800 CE (North Patagonian Andes, Argentina)

Boreas, EarlyView.
The glacierized Valle Frías in Northern Patagonia is one of the best‐studied valleys in South America and includes varved sediments from Lago Frías. We complement this lacustrine record with a high‐resolution documentation of varve counts and their composition.

Splatshop: Efficiently Editing Large Gaussian Splat Models

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Splatshop, a highly optimized toolbox for interactive editing (selection, deletion, painting, transformation, …) of 3D Gaussian Splatting models. Utilizing a comprehensive collection of heuristic approaches, we carefully balance between exact and fast rendering to enable precise editing without sacrificing real‐time performance. Our

TerraTinker: Crafting Playful Geospatial Visualizations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract With the onset of digital technologies, conveying information to the young generation is becoming evermore challenging, forcing us to explore alternative methods, such as using video games. A typical area that could benefit from innovation is geography, where we want to convey the relationship between selected geographical locations and ...

Fast Nodal Hessian Computation for Peridynamic Fracture Simulation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
A fast, exact nodal Hessian computation for Non‐Ordinary State‐Based Peridynamics is introduced through analytical simplification and a warp‐centric GPU strategy. The method accelerates preconditioned solvers and Vertex Block Descent, enabling interactive fracture simulation with physical accuracy.

Rhododendron diversity patterns provide new insights for conserving China's montane flora

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrating distribution, phylogenetic, and functional trait data for 603 Rhododendron species in China identified significant conservation hotspots of multidimensional diversity, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains. Climate seasonality and topographic heterogeneity jointly influenced these patterns; however, notable conservation gaps remained ...

Words After the Storm: Elite Rhetoric and the Limits of De‐Escalation in Postreferendum Catalonia

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When does a secessionist crisis end? What drives political elites to shift from hostility to moderation? This article examines the prospects of rhetorical de‐escalation in the aftermath of a secessionist dispute through the paradigmatic case of Catalonia.
