The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Conditional Randomization Tests for the Specification of Interference Structure

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes specification tests for interference structure in causal inference with spillovers. We focus on experimental settings in which the treatment assignment mechanism is known. To test whether a given exposure mapping adequately summarizes the true interference structure, we develop conditional randomization tests by utilizing ...

Deniers and Compliers: Unpacking the Heterogeneous Effectiveness of U.S. Stay‐at‐Home Mandates During the COVID‐19 Pandemic

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While existing work shows COVID‐19 stay‐at‐home (SAH) policies decreased mobility on average, we lack evidence regarding heterogeneity in policy effectiveness across US counties. To uncover potential heterogeneity, we implement a novel two‐stage approach.

A Small‐Scale Regional External Quality Assessment of Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests for Bordetella pertussis in China

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
An external quality assessment (EQA) was conducted to evaluate the performance of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for Bordetella pertussis across 69 laboratories in Chongqing, China. Among 345 total reports, 341 (98.8%) were concordant with expected results, while four false negatives occurred in low‐concentration samples near the analytical ...

African Economic Growth Revisited

open access: yesJournal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an updated analysis of the patterns of economic development in Africa over the last 60 years. The analysis stresses the heterogeneity of development trajectories among sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries. We examine the joint dynamics of income and population in 35 SSA countries.

Effect of age class on the survivorship and spatial movement patterns of headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...

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 ...

Mechanical Properties and Testing Strategies for Two‐Photon Lithography: A Review of Current Practices and Emerging Challenges

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Two‐photon lithography enables the fabrication of complex 3D microstructures with tunable mechanical properties spanning from soft hydrogels to rigid hybrid networks. This review summarizes how material composition, printing parameters, and post‐processing govern stiffness and viscoelasticity, highlighting advanced characterization methods and emerging
