ABSTRACT This paper investigates the effects of two greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation practices—minimum tillage and mid‐season drainage—on rice farmers' farm performance (e.g., crop yield and risk) and economic outcomes (e.g., income and vulnerability).

Blood Alcohol Concentration in Finnish Suicide Deaths and Associated Risk Factors, 2016–2024
ABSTRACT Aims There is limited research examining the relationship between blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and other risk factors among suicide deaths in Finland. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship of an elevated (more than zero) blood alcohol concentration with medical history, including sociodemographic characteristics and disease ...

Running towards: Labour market incentives for runaway slaves in the British Cape Colony, 1830–1838
Abstract Recent scholarship on slave escapes has increasingly emphasised economic motivation, but few studies have empirically investigated how market incentives influenced the decision‐making of enslaved individuals during transitions from coerced to wage labour.

Abstract Generative AI is increasingly positioned as a peer in collaborative learning, yet its effects on ethical deliberation remain unclear. We report a between‐subjects experiment with university students (N = 217) who discussed an autonomous‐vehicle dilemma in triads under three conditions: human‐only control, supportive AI teammate or contrarian ...

Collective Wage Co‐ordination and the Costs of Job Displacement
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether a higher level of co‐ordination in collective wage bargaining affects the wage costs of job displacement. We use quasi‐exogenous variation in the timing of job loss due to mass layoffs spanning an institutional reform that introduced national ceilings to wage agreements negotiated at sectoral‐ and firm‐level—the

Linear homogeneous ordinary differential equations with polynomial coefficients are considered to obtain some properties for the coefficients of power series solutions. The basic aim of the author here is to find all points \({\mathfrak a}\) (ordinary or singular) and all formal power series solutions \(\Sigma c_n(x- {\mathfrak a})^n\) to the given ...

Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis
Abstract We investigate the evaluation of points and derivatives of Bézier curves and surfaces on modern architectures, focusing on performance and guided by numerical error bounds. While the de Casteljau algorithm remains the reference for numerical robustness, its linear working‐set size imposes substantial register pressure on GPUs.

Parallel Vectors Extraction using Bézier Clipping
Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel local feature extraction algorithm for the parallel vectors (PV) operator. Our method is based on Bézier clipping, which is a bracketing‐based root finding method that is commonly‐used in computer‐aided geometric design.
