Modeling localized deer removal strategies for managing chronic wasting disease

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used an agent‐based model developed for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Midwestern white‐tailed deer to assess localized deer removal strategies and how local conditions affect management outcomes. Parcel‐based and ring culling were most effective at reducing CWD prevalence and persistence, and transmission was always greater at greater deer ...

Domain‐adapted driving scene understanding with uncertainty‐aware and diversified generative adversarial networks

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Autonomous vehicles are required to operate in an uncertain environment. Recent advances in computational intelligence techniques make it possible to understand driving scenes in various environments by using a semantic segmentation neural network, which assigns a class label to each pixel.

In Situ Acoustic Monitoring of Focused Femtosecond Pulse Duration in Air

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Air‐breakdown acoustics at the laser focus is used to determine femtosecond pulse duration with a simple USB microphone. By chirp‐tuning and compressing 1030 nm pulses from 241 to 50 fs, the acoustic amplitude scales inversely proportional to the square root of the pulse duration, enabling in situ readout over 50 fs–5 ps—crucial for precise pulse ...

Are Start‐Up Acquisitions by Dominant Firms Driving Innovation or Killing Competition?

open access: yesManagerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a sequential model to examine start‐up acquisitions in markets with network externalities, incorporating a pre‐entry strategic buyout option that allows the incumbent to integrate the start‐up's innovation, followed by post‐entry expenditure on coordination advertising, and defensive pricing strategies.

Demand‐Driven Mergers: Advertising, Differentiation, and Welfare

open access: yesManagerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider mergers that induce demand changes. We study the firms' incentives to submit a merger request and the competition authority's decision to approve the request. We show that merger‐induced demand changes help expand settings where the interests of firms and competition authority align, whereas contexts where their interests are ...
