Revisiting the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Crime: A Global Analysis

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing upon extensive literature on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) spillovers, we hypothesize that FDI inflow represents a double‐edged sword with respect to crime in host countries. On one hand, FDI can contribute to economic growth and social well‐being by infusing capital and knowledge into the host countries, thereby potentially ...

Management Control Systems, Bricolage, and Frugal Innovation: Effects on Value Creation in Startups With a Social Mission

Knowledge and Process Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the effects of the management control systems (social networking and organic innovative culture), via bricolage and frugal innovation, in the social and economic value creation of startups with a social mission. Data from 118 Brazilian startups with a social mission were analyzed using structural equation modeling and fuzzy‐

Extremal Values of Second Zagreb Index of Unicyclic Graphs Having Maximum Cycle Length: Two New Algorithms

Mathematics
It is well-known that the necessary and sufficient condition for a connected graph to be unicyclic is that its omega invariant, a recently introduced graph invariant useful in combinatorial and topological calculations, is zero.

Asymptotic Analysis of the Static Bidomain Model for Pulsed Field Cardiac Ablation

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiac arrhythmias are caused by faulty electrical signals in the heart, which lead to chaotic wave propagation and impaired cardiac function. This work focuses on a non‐thermal ablation technique based on electroporation (EP), a promising method for treating arrhythmias, called pulsed field ablation (PFA).

Conditional Generative Modeling for Enhanced Credit Risk Management in Supply Chain Finance

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cross‐border e‐commerce (CBEC) has created significant opportunities for small‐ and medium‐sized sellers, yet financing remains a critical challenge due to their limited credit histories. Third‐party logistics (3PL)‐led supply chain finance (SCF) has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging in‐transit inventory as ...

Tractable but Hard to Approximate: The Bi‐Objective Minimum s$$ s $$‐t$$ t $$‐Cut Problem With Binary Capacities

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The minimum s$$ s $$‐t$$ t $$‐cut problem is one of the most‐studied problems in discrete optimization and has a unique complexity status in multi‐objective optimization. Even though the single‐objective version of the problem can be solved in polynomial time, it has been shown in the seminal work of Papadimitriou and Yannakakis (2000) that ...

A weighted isoperimetric inequality and applications to symmetrization

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 1999
We prove an inequality of the form , where is a bounded domain in with smooth boundary, is a ball centered in the origin having the same measure as . From this we derive inequalities comparing a weighted Sobolev norm of a given function with the norm

Life after herbarium digitisation: Physical and digital collections, curation and use

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Collections of dried plant specimens (herbaria) provide an invaluable resource for the study of many areas of scientific interest and conservation globally. Digitisation increases access to specimens and metadata, enabling efficient use across a broad spectrum of research.

A regional implementation of a mixed finite‐element, semi‐implicit dynamical core

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A regional version of a new dynamical core with an iterated semi‐implicit time discretisation and mixed finite‐element spatial discretisation is described. This involves modifying the mixed‐system and Helmholtz‐preconditioner equations to use lateral boundary condition (LBC) data specified by a driving model.

Simulating Quantum State Transfer Between Distributed Devices Using Noisy Interconnects

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
Noisy connections challenge future networked quantum computers. This work presents a practical method to address this by simulating an ideal state transfer over noisy interconnects. The approach reduces the high sampling cost of previous methods, an advantage that improves as interconnect quality gets better.
