Direct recyling of Li‐ion battery materials promises a low‐cost path towards a secure domestic supply of critical materials for batteries. Using cathode material from an end‐of‐life commercial Li‐ion cell, this work identifies the primary degradation mechanisms that diminish the performance of directly reused cathode materials and includes a discussion

Pareto-Improving Data-Sharing [PDF]
We study the effects of data sharing between firms on prices, profits, and consumer welfare. Although indiscriminate sharing of consumer data decreases firm profits due to the subsequent increase in competition, selective sharing can be beneficial.

Sustainable Recovery and Reuse of Hard Carbon From Scrap and End‐of‐Life Sodium‐Ion Batteries
As sodium‐ion battery (SIB) technology advances, sustainable end‐of‐life recycling is crucial. This study presents a direct recycling method for hard carbon (HC) using low‐temperature binder negation at 300 °C under nitrogen. Retaining structural integrity, recycled HC achieves 86–89% capacity retention over 200 cycles.

Selling Data to a Competitor [PDF]
We study the costs and benefits of selling data to a competitor. Although selling all consumers' data may decrease total firm profits, there exist other selling mechanisms -- in which only some consumers' data is sold -- that render both firms better off. We identify the profit-maximizing mechanism, and show that the benefit to firms comes at a cost to

The future of dispute resolution in international trade
Abstract Given ongoing dysfunction of the World Trade Organization's Appellate Body, the focus of this article is on the future of trade dispute resolution, with evaluation of two questions: (i) What is the current status of WTO dispute resolution as compared to that conducted through existing preferential trade agreements (PTAs)? and (ii) What are the

PROFITABILITY AND ECONOMICS OF CROPPING
THE DATA REQUIREMENTS for an assessment of the profitability of alternative farm management systems are the technical rates of substitution of one enterprise for another, and their price ratios. In a mixed arable system it is necessary to determine relative yields of cash crops, stocking rates and stock performance, and to assess the requirements -of ...

Increasing sedentary time, minimum dietary energy requirements, and food security assessment
Abstract We compute corrections for sedentary behavior in physical activity levels (PALs) and incorporate them along with corrections for over estimation of basal metabolic rates (BMRs) into threshold caloric intakes, known as minimum dietary energy requirements (MDERs).

Business Model Contributions to Bank Profit Performance: A Machine Learning Approach [PDF]
This paper analyzes the relation between bank profit performance and business models. Using a machine learning-based approach, we propose a methodological strategy in which balance sheet components' contributions to profitability are the identification instruments of business models. We apply this strategy to the European Union banking system from 1997
