Toward a theory of Bayesian experimentation in early‐stage ventures

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary The entrepreneurship literature has established the benefits of experimentation but has paid comparatively little attention to its costs. We develop a Bayesian model to illustrate the entrepreneurial choice between direct and experimental entry.

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.

‘AN AUSTRIAN FATE’: TRAUMA, REPRESSION AND WAR IN ADRIAN GOIGINGER'S DER FUCHS (2022)

German Life and Letters, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 351-364, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines one of the highest‐grossing films in recent years in Austria, Der Fuchs (Adrian Goiginger, 2022), which focuses on the friendship of the protagonist, a Wehrmacht soldier, with an abandoned fox cub, but in the process elides more than four years of the soldier's wartime experience.
