How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Null controllability of nonlinear control systems governed by coupled degenerate parabolic equations

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2019
This article concerns the null controllability of a nonlinear control system governed by coupled degenerate parabolic equations. We first establish the Carleman estimate and the observability inequality for solutions to the conjugate problem.

Helping financially under‐resourced unmarried mothers move forward and flourish: Feasibility findings from an innovative coaching‐centered place‐based initiative

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐duration, holistic, cohort‐based, coach‐led interventions may be particularly effective in promoting both economic health and emotional well‐being among unmarried mothers living in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Aligning with the 1999 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) framework for program evaluation, this study presents a ...

Carleman estimates for singular parabolic equations with interior degeneracy and non-smooth coefficients

Advances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2017
We establish Carleman estimates for singular/degenerate parabolic Dirichlet problems with degeneracy and singularity occurring in the interior of the spatial domain.

The Insistence of Blackness and the Persistence of Antiblackness in Ireland

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper positions Ireland as a critical site for examining the insistence of blackness and an antiblackness created and sustained through Irish ethnonationalist imaginaries and exclusionary processes. Drawing on connected sociologies and Irish Black Studies, this enquiry argues that antiblackness in Ireland operates as a generational force,

Null controllability of a model in population dynamics

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2014
In this article, we study the null controllability of a linear model with degenerate diffusion in population dynamics. We develop first a Carleman type inequality for the adjoint system of an intermediate model, and then an observability inequality.

Hidden in the Labour Market: An Intersectional Latent Class Analysis of Discouraged Workers in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study employs an intersectionality‐informed latent class analysis (LCA) to examine the hidden diversity of discouraged workers in Australia. Drawing on nationally representative data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey, we identified six empirically distinct subgroups defined by intersecting demographic and ...

Reachability of a second-order integro-differential equation on Riemannian manifold for a viscoelasticity model

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2019
We study a reachability problem for a second-order integro-differential equation on a finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold, which is a model equation for viscoelasiticity.

Framing anatomical variation in anatomy textbooks: Language use and its implications

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Text mining of anatomy textbooks shows “abnormal” is the most frequently used descriptor for anatomical variation, reinforcing a binary framing. We advocate for explicit teaching of variation as a spectrum, with consistent, neutral terminology and contextualization (prevalence and functional relevance) to support a more nuanced understanding of ...

Contrasting roles of school and public libraries in lower primary pupils' reading

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Libraries represent an important institutional component of children's reading socialisation, yet their role is often treated as uniform despite substantial differences between school and public libraries. This study examines how visits to school and public libraries relate to pupils' reading attitudes, practices and self‐assessed reading ...
