Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector
Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...

Estimating a convex function in nonparametric regression [PDF]
A new nonparametric estimate of a convex regression function is proposed and its stochastic properties are studied. The method starts with an unconstrained estimate of the derivative of the regression function, which is firstly isotonized and then ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Emulsion separation remains a persistent challenge in chemical and process industries due to the metastable nature of dispersed droplets. In gravity separators, the overall separation rate is governed by the formation of a densely packed zone (DPZ) of deforming and coalescing droplets that mediates between the dispersed and continuous phases ...

Optimizing 3D Bin Packing of Heterogeneous Objects Using Continuous Transformations in SE(3)
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article presents a method for solving the three‐dimensional bin packing problem for heterogeneous objects using continuous rigid‐body transformations in SE(3). A heuristic optimization framework combines signed‐distance functions, neural network approximations, point‐cloud bin modeling, and physics simulation to ensure feasibility and stability ...

Approximated convex envelope of a function [PDF]
, 1994 The goal of this paper is to introduce the approximated convex envelope of a function and to estimate how it differs from its convex envelope. Such a problem arises in various physical situations where the function considered is some energy that has to ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.HTFC gets 3D refractive index tomograms of flowing cells. Label‐free monocytes are engineered to express patterns of cytoplasmic vacuoles. From the tomogram, an efficient dimensionality reduction is operated. Interpretable features are extracted to classify the expression severity of phenotypes coexisting in each cell, visually represented by a seven ...

, 2014 We define the quasi-gamma functions as the functions f :]0, infinity[->]0, infinity[ such that f(1) = 1, f(x + 1) = x f(x) for every x > 0, and f is quasi-convex. The main example of quasi-gamma function is the gamma function defined by Euler.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

On Caputo
IEEE Access, 2019 This paper studies the k-fractional analogue of the Caputo fractional derivatives, their properties, and applications. A convolution of two functions instead of the product is analyzed by means of Caputo k-fractional derivatives.
