Improving Affordability and Accessibility for Socially‐Beneficial Services via Government Incentives
ABSTRACT Many socially‐beneficial services, like dental care, suffer from a dual challenge: Low affordability for citizens and long waiting times due to insufficient provider capacity. We model a government's problem of designing subsidy policies to address this issue.

Information Design for Early‐Stage Dose‐Finding Trials
ABSTRACT To enhance enrollment rates in early‐stage dose‐finding clinical trials, we propose an information design approach, where the clinical investigator (CI) commits to an information releasing mechanism (IRM) based on the treatment's uncertain efficacy and toxicity to encourage patients to participate in the trial.

Different demographic drivers of recovery in two adjacent populations of a long‐lived bird of prey
Understanding the demographic mechanisms underlying population decline or recovery is critical for conservation and management, yet similar population trends may arise from very different underlying processes. Comparing populations of vulnerable species groups like long‐lived raptors in different environments can reveal how species respond to change ...

Comparison of Calorimetry and NMR Relaxometry Measurements of Epoxy Cure Kinetics
Single‐sided NMR monitors epoxy cure in three DGEBA/diamine systems, alongside benchmark DSC measurements. Fitting both datasets to a Kamal‐Malkin kinetic model shows NMR‐derived rate constants typically exceed DSC values, revealing an offset between gelation and chemical conversion.

Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it
