The Role of Admission Probabilities in the Deferred Acceptance Mechanism: An Experimental Study

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although students theoretically need not consider admission probabilities under strategy‐proof mechanisms in school choice problems, our study reveals a significant correlation between students' applications and their beliefs about admission probabilities in the deferred acceptance mechanism.

A Coarse Geometric Approach to Graph Layout Problems

Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We define a range of new coarse geometric invariants based on various graph–theoretic measures of complexity for finite graphs, including treewidth, pathwidth, cutwidth and bandwidth. We prove that, for bounded degree graphs, these invariants can be used to define functions which satisfy a strong monotonicity property, namely, they are ...

Stable Cuts, NAC‐Colourings and Flexible Realisations of Graphs

Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A (2‐dimensional) realisation of a graph G $G$ is a pair ( G , p ) $(G,p)$, where p $p$ maps the vertices of G $G$ to R 2 ${{\mathbb{R}}}^{2}$. A realisation is flexible if it can be continuously deformed while keeping the edge lengths fixed, and rigid otherwise.

A Min–Max Relation on Dicuts and Dijoins in Weighted Chordal Digraphs

Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In a digraph, a dicut is a cut where all the arcs cross in one direction. A dijoin is a subset of arcs that intersects every dicut. Edmonds and Giles conjectured that in a weighted digraph, the minimum weight of a dicut is equal to the maximum size of a packing of dijoins. This has been disproved. However, the unweighted version conjectured by

Until Work From Home Do Us Apart? Couples' Segmentation Preferences and Relationship Dissolution in the Era of Remote Work

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Work from home (WFH) is recognized as carrying both risks and benefits for individuals. However, its impact on romantic couples remains poorly understood. Drawing on boundary theory and family systems theory, we propose that WFH can render certain couples vulnerable to separation and trace the process through which this occurs.

Sewage Sludge and Cashew Bagasse Biochars Promote Changes in Selected Physical Attributes Related to the Structure of Degraded Dryland Soil

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated biochars from co‐pyrolysis of sewage sludge and cashew residues on physical quality of a degraded loamy sand soil. SPB applied at 20 Mg ha−1 reduced bulk density by 7.74%, whereas most porosity attributes were driven by soil reconsolidation rather than biochar. Aggregate stability varied with biochar type, with SPB promoting larger

Models of DG‐Carbon Bands in Raman Spectra: Effects of Basis Functions and Initial Values on the Uniqueness and S/N of Fits Obtained for Atmospheric Aerosol Using Automated Methods

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectra containing D/G features are fit using combinations of basis functions and initial conditions. Fits with two Lorentzian functions converged to a single optimized fit even with variation of initial peak positions. For five‐band fits, sometimes the final fit varied with initial conditions, and constraints on peak center position were ...

Smart detection of juice adulteration: An approach based on ion mobility spectrometry and machine learning

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Fruit juice quality is regulated by European Union legislation; however, adulteration by adding cheaper alternatives, such as white grape juice, remains a prevalent issue. This practice constitutes economic fraud and poses health risks to consumers, including potential allergic reactions to the adulterant.

Biochar‐Induced Shifts in Fungal Community Structure and Their Association With Soil Physical Properties in Degraded Soil From the Brazilian Semiarid

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation compromises ecosystem functioning. Biochar, a carbon‐rich amendment, has gained attention as a promising strategy to enhance soil structure and restore microbial balance. This study investigated the effects of two biochars, cashew bagasse biochar (CBB) and a co‐pyrolyzed biochar produced from sewage sludge and cashew pruning ...
