Can prisons move people into better jobs? A look at correctional vocational training programs and sectoral employment outcomes

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release. These middle‐skills jobs may more effectively reduce recidivism than the jobs that normally characterize the labor market experience of the formerly incarcerated, yet whether ...

A new diagonal quasi-Newton algorithm for unconstrained optimization problems

summary:We present a new diagonal quasi-Newton method for solving unconstrained optimization problems based on the weak secant equation. To control the diagonal elements, the new method uses new criteria to generate the Hessian approximation.

QNOMP: A Quasi-Newton-Based Joint Multipath Optimization Method for Super-Resolution Channel Estimation and Extrapolation

IEEE Access
Channel estimation and extrapolation are key challenges in massive multiple-input multiple-output communications. In this paper, we propose a quasi-Newton-based joint multipath optimization approach called Quasi-Newton Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (QNOMP)

A Survey of the Archival Audit Literature Une revue de la littérature en matière d'audit fondée sur les données archivales

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT External audits enhance the credibility of financial statements and are a cornerstone of capital market integrity. However, the growing and complex auditing literature poses challenges for researchers. This survey synthesizes and critically evaluates archival audit research published in top accounting journals from 1995 to 2025, organizing ...

Superlinear Convergence of Smoothing Quasi-Newton Methods for Nonsmooth Equations

, 1996
We study local convergence of smoothing quasi-Newton methods for solving a system of nonsmooth (nondifferentiable) equations in ! n . The feature of smoothing quasi-Newton methods is to use a smooth function to approximate the nonsmooth mapping and ...

Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.
