Policy-related transaction costs of agricultural policies in Finland

open access: yesAgricultural and Food Science, 2008
This paper assesses policy-related transaction costs (PRTC) associated with the main agricultural and agri-environmental policy instruments in Finland. We find that area-based income support measures entail low transaction costs as expressed in percent ...

Multiple‐Repeated Plasma Surface Treatments for Significantly Improving Bonding Performance of Metal‐Carbon‐Fiber‐Reinforced Thermoplastic Polymer Dissimilar Adhesive Joints

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Multiple plasma surface treatments improved the Mode I fracture energy of metal‐carbon‐fiber‐reinforced thermoplastic polymer (CFRTP) joints by ≈240% compared to single treatments and nearly 2000% over untreated joints. This significant enhancement, achieved without modifying CFRTP surface roughness, is attributed to improved chemical bonding at the ...

Cost-aware Portfolios in a Large Universe of Assets [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
This paper considers the finite horizon portfolio rebalancing problem in terms of mean-variance optimization, where decisions are made based on current information on asset returns and transaction costs. The study's novelty is that the transaction costs are integrated within the optimization problem in a high-dimensional portfolio setting where the ...

From Nature to Engineering: Mortar Volume and Interfacial Mechanics in Bioinspired Ceramics

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural armors like nacre, this study explores how varying the volume fraction of the soft mortar layer impacts the interfacial strength and toughness of bioinspired ceramics. Experimental and computational analysis reveals that higher mortar volumes increase energy dissipation but reduce interfacial stiffness, offering insights for ...
