Bridging Efficiency Gaps in Rice Production: A Primal System Analysis of Technical and Allocative Constraints in Bangladesh

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Declining natural resources, rising production costs, and diminishing returns from input‐intensive practices threaten the sustainability of smallholder rice systems in Bangladesh. Using a primal system approach and survey data from 1869 rice‐producing households, this study evaluates technical and allocative inefficiency across major agro ...

Evaluating Pt Nanoparticle Electrocatalyst Stability on Corrosion Free Carbon Supports Using Identical Location TEM

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Pt nanoparticle stability during accelerated stress testing at high anodic potentials was investigated using identical location TEM on a corrosion‐resistant boron‐doped diamond (BDD) electrode. Changes in nanoparticle size, position, and response with respect to nearest neighbor distance on a particle‐by‐particle basis were tracked using machine vision

Better on Average? Average Inflation Targeting With an Unclear Averaging Window

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Average inflation targeting (AIT) aims to stabilize inflation expectations by offsetting past deviations from target. However, ambiguity about the averaging window can complicate expectations formation and reduce policy effectiveness. This paper integrates AIT into a benchmark DSGE model, incorporating adaptive learning and a signal extraction

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...
