Convergence of Energy Intensity Across ASEAN‐5 Countries: A Wavelet‐Based Perspective
Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The convergence hypothesis, which emphasizes the attainment of income equality among nations, has recently gained prominence in energy studies due to its pivotal role in addressing the pressing challenges at the intersection of economic development and energy sustainability.

Preemptive Entry and Technology Diffusion: The Market for Drive‐In Theaters
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article studies entry preemption in new industries. We first test a key prediction of dynamic entry games: Entry preemption is most relevant in intermediate‐sized markets, where firms face highest uncertainty about future entry. Using US drive‐in theater market (1945–1957) data, we find robust evidence for this non‐monotonic relationship ...

The Incidence of Coarse Certification: Evidence From the ENERGY STAR Program
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A coarse certification provides simple but incomplete information. Its rationale is to help consumers trade off dimensions of quality that are complex and lack salience. In imperfectly competitive markets, it may induce excess bunching at the certification requirement, crowd out quality, and facilitate price discrimination. Who will ultimately

Early Bronze Age Copper Circulation in the Guadalentín and Segura Valleys (SE Spain)
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Identifying the sources of copper used in Early Bronze Age metalwork from south‐east Spain is key to resolving a long‐running debate concerning centralized control, or lack thereof, over El Argar society's economic organisation. This study provides the first substantial integrated programme of EDXRF and MC‐ICP‐MS analyses for copper‐base ...

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Although full‐information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimation is widely used for diagnostic classification models (DCMs), its computational efficiency deteriorates sharply in high‐dimensional settings. This scalability challenge is increasingly critical as DCMs are applied to large‐scale assessments, psychological testing and longitudinal ...

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Traditional item response theory (IRT) models involve symmetric response probability functions, but a developing area of research has focused on asymmetric alternatives. To date, these studies have focused primarily on introducing new asymmetric models, detailing their mathematical formulations, explaining how to interpret their item ...

Volume Quantization with Flexible Singularities for Hexahedral Meshing
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a novel algorithm for quantization and subsequent hexahedral mesh generation from seamless volumetric maps. Quantization is the process of choosing integers that represent the numbers of hexahedral elements to be placed in each region of the volume, and transforming the seamless map into an integer‐grid map matching that choice ...

OUGS: Active View Selection via Object‐aware Uncertainty Estimation in 3DGS
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have achieved state‐of‐the‐art results for novel view synthesis. However, efficiently capturing high‐fidelity reconstructions of specific objects within complex scenes remains a significant challenge.

Affinification: A Fine Approximation of Deformations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We introduce affinification, a novel method for accelerating physics‐based animation of elastic solids. During a time‐dependent simulation, our method automatically partitions the space into affine and elastic regions depending on the deformation.
