Formation and Efficient Estimation of Stochastic Frontier Production Function

open access: yesShanlax International Journal of Economics, 2021
Technological change and efficiency improvement are important sources of productivity growth in any economy. The concept of technical efficiency (TE) is based on input and output relationships. Technical inefficiency arises when actual or observed output from a given input mix is less than a possible mix.

TopCas: Topology‐Gated Cas12a via DNA‐RNA Chimeric Circular crRNA for Amplification‐Free Nucleic Acid Detection and Conditional Gene Editing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The TopCas platform utilizes an engineered DNA‐RNA chimeric circular crRNA to establish topology‐gated control over CRISPR‐Cas12a activity, enabling target‐triggered self‐catalytic amplification (preamplification‐free). This system seamlessly integrates highly sensitive molecular diagnostics with conditionally controlled gene editing, demonstrating ...

Measuring and explaining farm inefficiency in a panel data set of mixed farms [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper aims to estimate a translog stochastic frontier production function in the analysis of a panel of 150 mixed Catalan farms in the period 1989-1993, in order to attempt to measure and explain variation in technical inefficiency scores with a one-

Robust and Thermally Stable Silicone Aerogels with Hyperconnected Network via Kinetically Optimized Hyperbranched Silane Precursors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Reactivity‐Programmed Assembly: A kinetic‐control strategy is reported for constructing hyperconnected silicone aerogels with a robust “thick‐neck” architecture. By exploiting the reactivity disparity of precursors, flexible segments are uniformly embedded within a rigid skeleton.

Estimating Production Risk and Inefficiency Simultaneously: An Application to Cotton Cropping Systems [PDF]

open access: yes
By using a stochastic frontier framework, the mutual effect of input use on production risk and inefficiency is investigated. Disentangling this mutual effect proves important for empirical reasons, at least when applied to west Tennessee cotton systems ...

Nanocurvature‐Activated Dipolar Polarization in M–N4 Single‐Atom Sites for High‐Performance Electromagnetic Wave Absorption

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Increasing nanocurvature effectively enriches the local electron density of the M–N4 motif, which facilitates electron transfer from the metal center to nitrogen atoms. This electronic behavior intensifies the localization and asymmetric distribution of charge, thereby significantly amplifying the dipole moment and polarizability.
