When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Thiophene is king! The fusion of thiophene rings to cycloalkynes super‐charged their copper‐free click chemistry applications, by (1) enhancing the alkyne reactivity (fastest cyclooctyne to date) and (2) rendering the alkyne fluorogenic (with fluorescence enhancement up to 150‐fold upon reaction), making these bioorthogonal reagents ideal for tracking ...

A lightweight monocular perception framework generates high‐fidelity depth maps and integrates YOLOv8 detection to estimate object‐wise distances from a single RGB image. Evaluated on KITTI and the proposed D‐Far250 dataset, the system demonstrates accurate long‐range perception up to 250 m while maintaining real‐time performance, enabling scalable ...
