Maize Yield, Water Productivity and Economic Analysis Under Different Irrigation and Nitrogen Management Strategies Using Field Data and CERES‐Maize Model

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is limited integrated evaluation of nitrogen (N) and irrigation management strategies for improving maize yield and productivity using crop models. The effects of N and irrigation on maize yield and productivity under centre pivot (CPI) and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) using the CERES‐Maize model were investigated. N treatments were (

The Defending Responses Against Sexual Harassment (DEFEND‐SH) Instrument in Adolescents: Psychometric Properties and Measurement Invariance

Journal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Most instruments designed to assess bystander defending responses against sexual harassment have been validated primarily in university contexts and with the North American population, which limits their generalizability to adolescent populations in other cultures.

Deniers and Compliers: Unpacking the Heterogeneous Effectiveness of U.S. Stay‐at‐Home Mandates During the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While existing work shows COVID‐19 stay‐at‐home (SAH) policies decreased mobility on average, we lack evidence regarding heterogeneity in policy effectiveness across US counties. To uncover potential heterogeneity, we implement a novel two‐stage approach.

Using Distribution Regression Difference‐in‐Differences to Evaluate the Effects of a Minimum Wage Introduction on the Distributions of Wages, Earnings, and Working Hours

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the causal effects of the introduction of the minimum wage in Germany on the distributions of hourly wages, monthly earnings, and hours worked, combining rich large‐scale data sources. We compare linear and non‐linear versions of distribution regression difference‐in‐differences (DR‐DiD) and also estimate bivariate DR‐DiD.

A Comprehensive Study to Compare Different Compound Representations for Predicting Carcinogenicity In Vivo

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carcinogenicity evaluation is a critical component of chemical risk assessment, yet traditional in vivo testing remains time consuming, costly, and ethically challenging. Computational approaches based on machine learning offer promising alternatives, but the relative contributions of different molecular representation strategies for ...

The Gini index,the dual decomposition of aggregation functions, and the consistent measurement of inequality [PDF]

In several economic fields, such as those related to health, education or poverty, the individuals’ characteristics are measured by bounded variables. Accordingly, these characteristics may be indistinctly represented by achievements or shortfalls.

Machine Learning–Based Comparative Analysis of Blood Cell–Derived Inflammatory Indices for Predicting MAFLD and Liver Fibrosis: Evidence From NHANES 2017–2020

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This research assesses the correlations and diagnostic efficacy of blood cell‐derived inflammatory indicators in predicting metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and liver fibrosis using NHANES 2017–2020 data. AISI had the highest predictive capability for MAFLD, while PLR served as the most efficacious indicator for fibrosis ...

Robust Inequality Comparisons [PDF]

This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To deal with such

Personalized multimodal physiological modeling of menstrual cycle dynamics using endocrine, metabolic and wearable signals

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Menstrual cycle tracking remains challenged by the limited physiological scope and inconsistent generalizability of existing wearable‐based approaches, which often rely on individual sensing modalities that incompletely capture the complexity of menstrual physiology.
