From 0D to 3D liquid crystal elastomers architectures: Fabrications and applications

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents a dimension‐oriented overview of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), highlighting their molecular alignment, fabrication strategies, and programmable deformations from 0D particles to 3D architectures. Emphasis is placed on how dimensionality guides design principles, enables diverse actuation modes, and bridges fundamental ...

Modelling forest dynamics using integral projection models and repeat lidar

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Forests are facing increasing pressure from climate change and disturbance, yet linking individual tree trajectories to whole‐forest outcomes remains a major challenge. Our study integrates repeat airborne lidar with an Integral Projection Model to analyse demographic processes at the landscape scale.

Contract Farming and Children's Education: Evidence From Maize Producers in Ghana

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The institution of contract farming (CF) has continued to proliferate in the small farm sector of developing countries. While its effects on smallholders across welfare outcomes such as income and food security have been well documented, there are growing concerns about its broader social implications especially on children.

Resource redeployment as an entry advantage in resource‐poor settings

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Scarcity of productive factors poses a challenge for firms entering underdeveloped regions. We theorize that incumbent firms can overcome scarcity of skilled human capital in local labor markets by redeploying workers from existing units.
