Operating Capacity, Pricing and Supply Elasticity in Container Shipping Markets

open access: yesInternational Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the channels through which changes in operating capacity influence freight rates in the container shipping market using a novel dataset to create an operating capacity index at the shipping‐route level. Our analysis reveals that when supply elasticity is low, an increase in operating capacity tends to drive freight rates upward,

The Impact of Changes in Real Income and the Real Effective Exchange Rate on Trade in Goods and Services

open access: yesInternational Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We use foreign trade data on both imports and exports of goods and services among a group of 15 advanced economies to determine the incomes and price elasticities of demand for exports and imports of goods, services and goods and services combined in the long run.

The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...

Mulching Increases Water Use Efficiency, Production and Profitability in Forage Cactus–Maize Intercropping Systems

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the growth, forage production, soil water balance, water indices, biological efficiency and competitive capacity of forage cactus and maize in monoculture and intercropping, with or without mulch. The experiment was conducted in Serra Talhada, Pernambuco, Brazil, using the cactus clone ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ (OEM ...

When Technology Meets Turbulence: The Impact of Digital Transformation and Policy Uncertainty on Audit Opinions

open access: yesJournal of Corporate Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how Corporate Digital Transformation (CDT) influences audit opinions in Chinese A‐share‐listed non‐financial firms from 2011 to 2022, with a focus on the moderating role of Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU). Results reveal an inverted U‐shaped relationship: moderate levels of CDT enhance audit outcomes through improved ...

Paediatric computed tomography diagnostic reference levels in Africa: A systematic review

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 139-147, March 2025.
Improvements in computed tomography (CT) technology have increased its applications in medical imaging. Variations in the paediatric DRLs indicate that harmonisation and standardisation of paediatric CT protocols are essential for the optimisation of paediatric doses. Abstract Introduction Improvements in computed tomography (CT) technology in terms of

Intrafraction motion and impact of margin reduction for MR‐Linac online adaptive radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer treatments

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 17-24, March 2025.
This analysis included quantification of intrafraction motion in pancreas stereotactic ablative radiotherapy treated on the MR‐Linac, leading to the development of adjusted (PTV) margins. Intrafraction motion indicated an average target displacement of 1–3 mm, resulting in an adjusted PTV margin of 2 mm in the right–left and superior–inferior ...
