Improving last-mile parcel delivery through shared consolidation and portering: A case study in London [PDF]

Based on the insights derived from practical trials conducted with carriers operating in London, this article proposes a last-mile delivery model that involves both driving and walking. A particularly innovative aspect of the model is the shared use of a

A Generalizable Multimodal Model for Treatment‐Stratified Risk and Survival Assessment under Real‐World Constraints: A Multi‐Center Study of Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DAIMS is a multimodal model for treatment stratified risk and survival assessment in colorectal cancer. Training draws on pathology, genomics, and clinical reports, yet inference requires only whole slide images, and adaptation to new cohorts proceeds without target survival outcomes.

What compels enrollment in a mobile maternal health wallet? A mixed-methods doer/non-doer analysis in Analamanga, Madagascar

BMC Health Services Research
Background Care-seeking during antenatal and intrapartum periods has remained persistently low in Madagascar, largely due to financial barriers. To bolster both care-seeking and health financing, a Mobile Maternal Health Wallet (MMHW) was developed and ...

Reveal Non‐Uniform Passivation on Lithium Metal Anode With Operando Spectroscopic Ellipsometry

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
In‐operando spectroscopic ellipsometry reveals how nucleation and crystallographic orientation govern the non‐uniform growth of native passivation films on lithium metal. Time‐resolved thickness mapping captures island formation and coalescence, while orientation‐dependent measurements show that the equilibrium film on Li(110) is approximately half as ...

Holistic Top‐to‐Bottom Film Restructuring to Achieve Highly Stable Unencapsulated Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A novel top‐to‐bottom film restructuring strategy is applied to perovskite films, taking advantage of high penetration of vapor‐phase ligand. A gradient‐distributed 2D perovskite structure is built up from top surface to film bulk, meanwhile, inhomogeneity at the buried interface is mitigated, which leads to high quality perovskite films with improved ...

Effectiveness of the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index (PRF‐RI) Program: Interval Selections With Uniform Premium Subsidy Rates

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines interval selection in the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index (PRF‐RI) program and evaluates how uniform premium subsidy rates affect optimal interval selections. Using South Dakota as a case study, we show a trend of increasing selection of nonproduction intervals from 2013 to 2024, raising concerns about program

“The bus is accessible, but how do you get to the bus”: First and last mile experiences of disabled transit riders

Journal of Public Transportation
To use public transit, riders must complete first and last mile trip segments. However, transportation planning measures of access to opportunity often assume that transit riders can complete first and last mile trips with ease. This paper contributes to

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...
