Why Does Individualism Affect Economic Development: Is It Values, Policies, or Institutions?

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial body of literature highlights the positive roles of individualism and economic freedom in fostering prosperity, and recent work links the two. This paper disentangles their contributions to economic development. In cross‐country data, we show that both are independently associated with per capita income, even after extensive ...

AI‐Powered GPR Characterization of Peatland Underground Cavity Induced by Smoldering Wildfire: A Laboratory Proof‐of‐Concept

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
We present an AI‐assisted ground‐penetrating radar framework to noninvasively detect and quantify smoldering wildfire‐induced subsurface cavities in peatlands. A ResNet model accurately predicts cavity geometry from GPR images, enabling improved assessment of underground fire damage and hazards.

Probabilistic estimation of reliable sensor spacing for wire break detection in prestressed concrete using acoustic emission technique

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The acoustic emission (AE) technique has proven to be an effective method for detecting individual wire breaks in prestressed concrete structures affected by stress corrosion cracking (SCC). However, despite its widespread application, the quantitative assessment of AE monitoring reliability and optimal sensor placement remains unresolved ...

Antimicrobial Residues in a Key Cerrado River: Distribution, Persistence, and Effects on Zebrafish Embryo‐Larval Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The current study aimed to quantify the antimicrobials amoxicillin (AMX), cefazolin (CFZ), chloramphenicol (CHL), metronidazole (MTZ), and sulfamethoxazole (SX) in effluents and surface water of an important Cerrado river, calculate their half‐lives, and analyze their ecotoxicity following single and combined exposures.
