The Impact of Autonomous Truck Technology on US Interstate Trade

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in autonomous and semi‐autonomous vehicle technologies promise substantial cost savings for goods shipped by truck. In this study, we quantify the impacts of these transport cost reductions on the US interstate trade using a structural gravity model of domestic trade. Based on projected cost savings from the widespread adoption

Children Show Stronger Learning‐Dependent Explicit Knowledge Than Adults After Offline Wake or Sleep Intervals

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous research has extensively investigated the impact of post‐training sleep and wakefulness on procedural memory consolidation across development. However, results regarding how offline processes specifically affect the explicit and implicit components of newly acquired procedural skills in children and adults remain controversial.

Visible, near‐, and thermal infrared spectra of asteroid Bennu samples: Relationship to and implications for remote sensing of carbonaceous asteroids

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Remote spectroscopy is used to characterize the mineralogy and infer the history of planetary bodies. Carbonaceous asteroids, such as B‐type (101955) Bennu, represent the earliest stages of planet formation. B types have a blue (negative) spectral slope and comprise <5% of asteroids.

Indoor residual spraying of distinct insecticide formulations in a household‐scale micro‐mosaic format: Feasibility and effectiveness for malaria vector control in rural Zambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Densities of all Anopheles species were approximately comparable across all IRS regimes. No differences observed between treatment regimes regarding species composition of the Anopheles funestus group or An. gambiae complex. This operational pilot demonstrates the practical feasibility of IRS micro‐mosaics, despite the inherent increase in deployment ...

Environmental influences on the maximum quantum yield of terrestrial primary production

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Temperature and aridity effects on terrestrial ecosystems' intrinsic quantum yield. Summary Historically, terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) have assigned the intrinsic (maximum) quantum yield of photosynthesis (ϕ0)$$ {\phi}_0\Big) $$ a constant value for each plant functional type. However, experimental studies have shown that ϕ0$$ {\phi}_0 $$ – when
