Punching shear of unbonded post‐tensioned steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs: The fiber contribution

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) enhances the flexural capacity of flat slabs and, due to its effectiveness in statically redundant bi‐dimensional elements, represents a viable alternative to conventional reinforcement. Although numerous studies have investigated the flexural behavior of SFRC slabs with and without bonded reinforcement ...

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Survey on differential estimators for 3d point clouds

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advancements in 3D scanning technologies, including LiDAR and photogrammetry, have enabled the precise digital replication of real‐world objects. These methods are widely used in fields such as GIS, robotics, and cultural heritage. However, the point clouds generated by such scans are often noisy and unstructured, posing challenges for ...

Environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow prices for dairy farms

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow price for Ontario dairy farms. We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.

From Regression to Reasoning: Predicting M&A Announcement Returns With Large Language Models

open access: yesEuropean Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can predict short‐term market reactions to M&A announcements. We prompt OpenAI's latest reasoning models (o3, GPT‐5, and GPT‐5.1) to forecast whether the combined market value of acquirer and target will increase or decrease, drawing on deal‐, firm‐, and macroeconomic data for large ...

Fatigue Strength Analysis of a Cladded Steel Subjected to Tensile Predeformation

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cladded steels are a subset of layered metal composites in which a thin functional layer is bonded to a dissimilar substrate, thereby integrating the benefits of both constituent materials. However, the resulting heterogeneous properties of such layered metal composites collectively complicate deformation and fatigue behavior, making reliable ...

A new family of models with generalized orientation in data envelopment analysis

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In the framework of data envelopment analysis, we review directional models and show that they are inadequate when inputs and outputs are improved simultaneously under constant returns to scale. Conversely, we introduce a new family of quadratically constrained models with generalized orientation and demonstrate that these models overcome this
