Bayesian perspective for orientation determination in cryo‐EM with application to structural heterogeneity analysis

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
A Bayesian perspective on orientation estimation in cryo‐EM is presented, with the minimum mean‐square error estimator outperforming standard cross‐correlation‐based approaches, particularly under challenging low signal‐to‐noise conditions. We demonstrate that improved orientation estimation has a decisive impact on 3D reconstruction quality and ...

THE TERRITORIALIZATION OF ANGOLA'S REAL ESTATE FRONTIER: How Private‐led Housing Developments are Reshaping the Outskirts of Luanda

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Africa is recognized as the final frontier for urbanization and capitalism. Following a long wave of massive loans to promote state‐led developments, small private foreign and local developers are transforming the urban landscape on the outskirts of Luanda, forging partnerships with Angola's national and local governments and developing an ...

From the predator to the prey: a case study of the vulnerability of Harmonia axyridis to aggressive competitors

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The level of aggressiveness of an individual is a factor that shapes intraguild predation (IGP) interactions. In Nabis americoferus, high aggressiveness leads to an increase in attack rate and IGP against Harmonia axyridis. Moreover, the absence of extraguild prey seems to exacerbate IGP. In docile N.

Artificial Intelligence and Auditing: A Bibliometric Study Intelligence artificielle et audit : étude bibliométrique

open access: yesAccounting Perspectives, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are used to assist auditors in analyzing large amounts of data, automating audit tasks, and identifying risks and opportunities. AI can help improve the efficiency and accuracy of the auditing process as well as create value for both audit firms and their clients.

Late Antique Allāh: Ancestral Arabian Religion and the Monotheistic Zeitgeist

open access: yesArabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay addresses the ongoing scholarly tension between the monotheistic interpretations of late pre‐Islamic Arabian religion, pioneered by G. Hawting and P. Crone, and the traditional accounts of rampant Arabian polytheism found in later Islamic literary sources.

Nonexistence of solutions to some inequalities and systems with singular coefficients on the boundary

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2017
We obtain sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of positive solutions to some elliptic inequalities and systems containing the p-Laplace operators and coefficients possessing singularities on the boundary.

Defence Contracting and Accrual‐Based Earnings Management

open access: yesAccounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine accrual‐based earnings management in Spanish defence firms in 2011–2020, using a unique database from the Spanish Ministry of Defence. We find higher levels of accrual‐based earnings management and lower accrual quality in firms where defence contracts represent a high proportion of their total sales.

Solutions to semilinear elliptic PDE's with biharmonic operator and singular potential

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2016
We study the existence and nonexistence of positive solution to the problem $$\displaylines{ \Delta^2u-\mu a(x)u=f(u)+\lambda b(x)\quad\text{in }\Omega,\cr u>0 \quad\text{in }\Omega,\cr u=0=\Delta u \quad\text{on }\partial\Omega, }$$ where $\Omega$

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Nonexistence of solutions to systems of higher-order semilinear inequalities in cone-like domains

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2002
In this paper, we obtain nonexistence results for global solutions to the system of higher-order semilinear partial differential inequalities $$displaylines{ frac{partial^k u_i}{partial t^k}-Delta (a_i (x,t) u_i (x,t)) geq t^{gamma_{i+1}}|x|^{sigma_{i+1}}
