Lost in aggregation? On the importance of local food price data for food poverty estimates

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores within‐country variations in food price dynamics and food poverty estimates by employing local market price data and national consumer price index (CPI) data. Our results show that national CPI data may be useful for approximating national trends but they fail to detect and identify spatial variations in local trends, which

Numerical non-LTE 3D radiative transfer using a multigrid method

open access: yes, 2017
3D non-LTE radiative transfer problems are computationally demanding, and this sets limits on the size of the problems that can be solved. So far Multilevel Accelerated Lambda Iteration (MALI) has been to the method of choice to perform high-resolution ...

Progress in all‐dry‐processed inorganic perovskite solar cells

open access: yesBulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in all‐inorganic perovskite solar cells, focusing on vacuum‐based deposition strategies for Cs‐based inorganic perovskite absorbers and inorganic charge transporting materials. We highlight the key principles governing inorganic film growth and future directions toward high‐performance all‐dry‐processed inorganic ...

Mali: how bad can it get? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
From dusk till late evening, you can find small groups of young people sitting on street corners, in front of houses, or in courtyards across West Africa. There will inevitably be a little radio, playing music and broadcasting news.

Digital Transformation and Informal Innovation in Africa: Reframing STI Policy for Inclusive Circular Economy Transitions

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid increasing environmental and economic pressures, Africa's transition to a circular economy (CE) presents a vital pathway to inclusive, low‐carbon development. Yet, how digital transformation, informal innovation, and science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy readiness shape CE outcomes remains underexplored.

Some Comments on the Formal Structure of Spontaneous Localization Theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We propose a mathematical and a conceptual framework (called the `E-model' and the `event ontology' resp.) that encompasses and generalizes the `flash' ontology discussed in a recent paper by R.

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

Modeling and Experimental Study of a Dual‐Receiver Parabolic Solar Concentrator for Direct Electricity Generation and Thermal Storage for Isolated Sites

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Approximately 64% of the population in sub‐Saharan Africa lacks access to electricity, despite the region's high solar potential, making concentrated solar power a promising solution for decentralized and sustainable energy supply. This study presents the design, construction, and testing of a parabolic solar concentrator with two focal‐point receivers

The Impact of Renewable and Non‐Renewable Energy on Economic Growth: Evidence From Sub‐Saharan African Countries Using Multivariate Panel Vector Autoregressive Modeling

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study analyzes energy consumption and economic growth across 39 Sub‐Saharan African countries using a PVAR model. Findings reveal that non‐renewable energy and labor force growth stimulate economic growth, while renewable energy does not stimulate economic growth in the short run.
