Unpacking the Farmland Capitalization Effect of Ethanol Establishment
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We unpack the impact of expansions in ethanol production—as measured by proximity to newly constructed ethanol plants and capacity expansions—on farmland values using land transaction data from Kansas in combination with modern causal inference techniques.

Crop Insurance Design and On‐Farm Risk Adaptation
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The United States spends billions annually on crop insurance premium subsidies, yet the prevailing distance‐based guarantee design unintentionally rewards risk‐taking by linking subsidies to yield variability. We consider a simple redesign: define guarantees in terms of probability so that coverage reflects a consistent likelihood of indemnity.

Computational MechanicsAbstract We present a T-splines mesh generation method for complex geometries, enabling good local mesh refinement in isogeometric analysis (IGA), with the continuity and smoothness desired. Good local mesh refinement enhances the IGA computational efficiency by having a higher density of control points only in places and directions ...

Explaining the Origin of Negative Poisson's Ratio in Amorphous Networks With Machine Learning
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This review summarizes how machine learning (ML) breaks the “vicious cycle” in designing auxetic amorphous networks. By transitioning from traditional “black‐box” optimization to an interpretable “AI‐Physics” closed‐loop paradigm, ML is shown to not only discover highly optimized structures—such as all‐convex polygon networks—but also unveil hidden ...

Robot‐Assisted Measurement of the Critical Micelle Concentration
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.The study introduces (SIMO) smart integrator for manual operations, a robotic platform for precise, repeatable determination of (CMC) critical micelle concentration in surfactants. SIMO reduces standard deviation by 80% compared to manual methods. Surfactant, dye, and diluent selection, robotic protocols, and data handling are detailed.
