AI &Innovation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Maintaining an effective balance between exploration and exploitation is essential during optimization processes, from mathematical functions to more complex problems such as constrained engineering design optimization, particularly when addressing highly nonlinear issues with numerous local optima and strict feasibility requirements.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...

Information framing and the impact of nutrition label serving size change
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract The framing of information can significantly influence how consumers interpret and respond to it. This paper investigates how the change in serving sizes in Nutrition Facts Panel (NFP) affects consumer choices for carbonated soft drinks (CSD). We first estimate a reduced form difference‐in‐differences (DiD) model to document causal effects on ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Protecting endangered aquatic species while sustaining farming communities can require water buyback programs that are both cost‐effective and responsive to the variability and unpredictability of drought conditions. Working in close partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Georgia Water Planning and Policy Center, we co‐design parallel

Policy uncertainty shocks and farm investments in Europe: Evidence from a newspaper‐based index
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract In order to quantify the impact of agricultural policy uncertainty on European farmers' investment behavior, we construct a newspaper‐based monthly index of European agricultural policy uncertainty from 2013 to 2023. We use 327,224 newspaper articles to assess and compare the trends in policy uncertainty across five top agricultural producers ...

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Australian local governments are facing intensifying pressures to respond to worsening visible homelessness. This paper presents one of the first national studies on how local governments are responding to these pressures, and the first since the onset of the post‐pandemic housing crisis.

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Place‐based initiatives (PBIs) aim to address complex and intersecting forms of disadvantage shaped by health, social care, employment and geographical inequities. While PBIs offer integrated and community‐centred responses, limited evidence makes it difficult to understand the policy conditions that support their development and ...

A Descriptor for Non‐Arrhenius Ion Transport Enables Design of Sulfide Superionic Conductors
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A curated database of sulfide electrolytes reveals widespread non‐Arrhenius ion transport. Meyer–Neldel deviation (MND) quantifies this behavior, distinguishes low‐conductivity and superionic regimes, and guides composition screening. An experimentally validated candidate exhibits room‐temperature conductivity of 7.21 mS cm−1, an apparent activation ...

Strain‐Tunable Photoluminescence From Ge Quantum Dots on Si Nanotips for CMOS‐Compatible Photonics
Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.This work studies strain in Ge quantum dots grown on Si nanotips using photoluminescence, X‐ray diffraction, and band structure calculations. It shows how emission changes with dot size, evaluates strain in the dot and substrate, and explains the role of direct and indirect transitions in the optical behavior.
