Fuel load and potential fire behavior vary seasonally and across grassland plant communities
Abstract Grassland fuels can be patchy across space and time, especially on landscapes where multiple grassland plant communities co-occur. However, the standard fuel models inadequately capture the spatiotemporal variability in grassland fuels for local, strategic planning of fu...

Black‐Cat Markets: Superstitious Beliefs, Extreme Events, and Housing Prices in China
ABSTRACT This paper examines the extent and persistence of numerological superstitions in China's housing market. We focus on the numbers “4” and “8,” given the strong negative and positive cultural beliefs associated with them. Using an extensive dataset of new apartment transac...

Scaffolded Answers and Process Self-Reports: Two Small Evaluations of an Operational LLM Deployment
External context can specify how a language model should respond, but a response that satisfies operational criteria need not accurately describe the process that produced it. We examine two small evaluations of one operational deployment. In EXP-001, scaffolded outputs scored lo...
