Q‐LEAP: Millisecond Hyperdimensional Optimization for Full‐Spectrum Optical Metamaterials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Q‐LEAP integrates physics‐informed residual machine learning with factorization‐machine‐encoded quantum annealing to design full‐spectrum optical metamaterials. It explores a 2108 design space and, in a single 2.56 ms annealing step, reaches 85.83% of the theoretical FoM limit, enabling selective 5‐8 µm emission with 3–5 and 8–14 µm suppression and ∼40×

A comparison of parametric and nonparametric estimation methods for cost frontiers and economic measures

Journal of Applied Economics, 2019
This article examines the empirical performance of alternative frontier estimators’ ability to replicate a known underlying technology and economic measures such as multi-product and product-specific economies of scale, and economies of scope.

Analytical Prediction of Critical Transitions in Oscillator Networks With Non‐Local Links

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An analytical framework reveals how global coupling, second‐harmonic strength, noise, and network structure govern oscillator‐based Ising dynamics. Spectral reduction predicts stability boundaries, while Fokker–Planck analysis captures one‐ to two‐cluster transitions and identifies conditions favoring low‐energy configurations.

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

Effects of Outsourced Agricultural Extension Services on the Technical Efficiency and Financial Returns of Soybean Farms in Northern Cameroon

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the agricultural landscape of most developing countries, the last decade has witnessed the expansion of outsourced agricultural extension services. Private firms and nongovernmental organizations focused on delivering agricultural extension and advisory services to farmers have emerged.
