Co‐Design to Capacity: An Instructional Design Approach for Indigenous Women Empowerment and Sustainable Technology Adoption

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The adoption of rural livelihood technologies is often hindered by a gap between participatory design and user capacity. This study addresses this challenge with a co‐designed lemongrass distillation system in rural India that remained unused due to a lack of community capacity, despite a successful design process.

Cramér-Rao Bound for Hybrid GNSS-Terrestrial Cooperative Positioning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this contribution we derive an expression of the Cramer-Rao bound for hybrid cooperative positioning, where GNSS information is combined with terrestrial range measurements through exchange of peer-to-peer messages. These results provide a theoretical

Bridging Efficiency Gaps in Rice Production: A Primal System Analysis of Technical and Allocative Constraints in Bangladesh

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Declining natural resources, rising production costs, and diminishing returns from input‐intensive practices threaten the sustainability of smallholder rice systems in Bangladesh. Using a primal system approach and survey data from 1869 rice‐producing households, this study evaluates technical and allocative inefficiency across major agro ...

Mixed feelings, mixed outcomes? When emotionally ambivalent framing enhances idea appreciation

open access: yesStrategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Despite growing interest in how linguistic strategies shape audience responses to innovative ideas, prior evidence on the benefits of using emotional language remains mixed. Building on research on emotional ambivalence and social evaluation, we introduce the concept of emotionally ambivalent framing (i.e., the combination of ...

On the Angular Localization of Gravitational-wave Signals by Pulsar Timing Arrays

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We provide a complete study of the factors influencing gravitational-wave signal localization using pulsar timing arrays (PTAs). We derive analytical expressions for the Cramér–Rao sky localization precision that delineate the impact of the angular ...

Assessing physiological, behavioral and movement responses to Suprelorin implant delivery methods in free‐ranging eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.
