Characterizing Biopolymer Electrolytes in Zinc–Air Batteries: Challenges, Best Practices, and a Robust Workflow Guiding Future Research Paths

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based gel polymer electrolytes promise sustainable, mechanically adaptable zinc–air batteries, yet their progress is constrained by inconsistent characterization. This review critically links formulation, structure, interfaces, and cell performance, identifies methodological gaps under alkaline operating conditions, and proposes application ...

Modelling risk at low-exposure railway level crossings: supporting an argument for low-cost level crossing warning devices with lower levels of safety integrity [PDF]

, 2013
This paper describes a risk model for estimating the likelihood of collisions at low-exposure railway level crossings, demonstrating the effect that differences in safety integrity can have on the likelihood of a collision.

Using pre‐ and post‐entry data to identify the effect of ethanol plant entry on the spatial pattern of corn prices: A study in Indiana

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the long‐run effect of ethanol plant entry on local corn prices using a long‐horizon difference‐in‐differences framework that combines matching with fixed effects while explicitly accounting for treatment intensity and spatial heterogeneity.
