Spatial Aggregation and Weather Risk Management [PDF]
Previous studies identify limited potential efficacy of weather derivatives in hedging agricultural exposures. In contrast to earlier studies which investigate the problem at low levels of aggregation, we find using straight forward temperature contracts

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Interphase chemistry governs the stability of multivalent metal batteries. We summarize state‐of‐the‐art developments in calcium and magnesium metal batteries by focusing on the correlation among electrolytes, interphase layers, and the electrochemical performance of corresponding metal anodes.

WEATHER DERIVATIVES AND SPECIFIC EVENT RISK [PDF]
This paper investigates the relationship between weather events and agricultural risks. Specific event risks are defined by outcomes related to a specific event such as low temperature and rainfall. Using Ontario data this paper describes specific events

Ultrasmall Platinum Nanoparticles for Radiation‐Enhanced Cancer Therapy
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work proposes a nanomedicine‐based strategy to enhance X‐ray radiotherapy for cancer treatment. Ultrasmall Pt‐NPs exhibit catalase‐like activity that may contribute to modulation of the tumor microenvironment and amplify interactions between radiation and biological matter, leading to increased DNA damage.

Utility-based Pricing of the Weather Derivatives [PDF]
Since the underlying of the weather derivatives is not a traded asset, these contracts cannot be evaluated by the traditional financial theory. Cao and Wei (2004) price them by using the consumption-based asset pricing model of Lucas (1978) and by ...

INSURING HEAT RELATED RISKS IN AGRICULTURE WITH DEGREE-DAY WEATHER DERIVATIVES [PDF]
This paper presents a model and framework for pricing degree-day weather derivatives when the weather variable is a non-traded asset. The paper compares the options prices from the recommended model and compares it to a typical insurance-type model.Risk ...

Atomic Layer Deposition in Transistors and Monolithic 3D Integration
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Transistors are fundamental building blocks of modern electronics. This review summarizes recent progress in atomic layer deposition (ALD) for the synthesis of two‐dimensional (2D) metal oxides and transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), with particular emphasis on their enabling role in monolithic three‐dimensional (M3D) integration for next ...

Multi‐Functional ZnO–Te Heterojunction Devices Enabling Compact Frequency Quadrupler
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Wafer‐scale ZnO–Te heterojunction devices featuring tunable double negative differential transconductance (D‐NDT) are demonstrated at ≤ 200°C. Leveraging this unique characteristic, a single‐stage frequency quadrupler is realized, achieving a 64%–75% reduction in device count.
