Temporary Programs, Lasting Questions: Ad Hoc Assistance in the U.S. Farm Safety Net
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large ad hoc assistance programs have returned to U.S. farm policy since 2017, operating alongside a more developed safety net built around federally subsidized crop insurance, Title I commodity programs, and standing disaster assistance. This paper reviews the renewed use of ad hoc assistance, documents its recent scale using USDA data, and ...

Data‐Driven High‐Throughput Volume Fraction Estimation From X‐Ray Diffraction Patterns
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Long exposure times and the need for manual evaluation limit the use of X‐ray diffraction in high‐throughput applications. This study presents a data‐driven approach addressing both issues. HiVE (a method for High‐throughput Volume fraction Estimation) performs composition estimation for high‐noise XRD patterns produced using polychromatic emission ...
