Ensiling and Fermentation of Rice Hulls With Ruminal Fluid for Medium‐Chain Carboxylate Production
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large quantities of rice hulls are common at milling sites in Nigeria. They are a by‐product of rice processing and can contribute to environmental degradation if not properly managed. In this study, rice hulls were pretreated by ensiling at ambient temperature and then used as substrate for medium‐chain carboxylates (MCCs) production ...

Operating Capacity, Pricing and Supply Elasticity in Container Shipping Markets
International 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,

Exploring a Novel Conv‐Transformer Network for Multi‐Modality Heart Segmentation
iRADIOLOGY, EarlyView.We propose SFAM‐TransUnet for multimodality whole heart segmentation, a novel deep learning framework combining CNNs and transformers. Extensive experiments conducted on the clinical Multi‐Modality Whole Heart Segmentation datasets demonstrate that SFAM‐TransUnet outperforms various alternative methods.

Pulse Generation by On‐Chip Dispersion Compensation at 8 µm Wavelength
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.This work demonstrates on‐chip pulse generation at 8 μm$\mathrm{\mu}\mathrm{m}$ using chirped Bragg gratings in SiGe graded‐index photonic circuits to compensate the quadratic phase of quantum cascade laser frequency combs. With this approach pulses as short as 1.39 ps were produced, close to the transform limit, representing a key step toward compact,
