Environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow prices for dairy farms
Abstract We estimate the environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow price for Ontario dairy farms. We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.

Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,

From Regression to Reasoning: Predicting M&A Announcement Returns With Large Language Models
ABSTRACT This study investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can predict short‐term market reactions to M&A announcements. We prompt OpenAI's latest reasoning models (o3, GPT‐5, and GPT‐5.1) to forecast whether the combined market value of acquirer and target will increase or decrease, drawing on deal‐, firm‐, and macroeconomic data for large ...

Redox environment modulates in vitro aggregation of Ataxin‐3, the protein implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3. Reducing conditions stabilize native monomers and prevent aggregation, whereas oxidative conditions promote the formation of non‐native conformers and disulfide‐linked oligomers within the Josephin domain (JD).
