Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

Electric and Temperature Field‐Modulated Periodic Repair of the Electrode/Electrolyte Interface toward Long Cycle Stability of Low‐Temperature Li‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a temperature‐electric field synergy strategy to enhance lithium‐ion battery performance at low temperatures. It reveals interfacial mechanisms: low temperatures cause deterioration, while room temperature aids stable interphase formation.

The Bitter Taste of Brazil's Temporary Import Ban on Robusta Coffee

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazil, a leading Robusta coffee producer and exporter, faced a significant drought in 2016–2017, which drastically reduced production and depleted stocks. Consequently, Brazil temporarily permitted the import of one million 60‐kg bags of Robusta coffee in the spring 2017. An import ban was imposed shortly afterward due to lobbying by domestic

Agricultural Diversification at the Margin. Strategies and Determinants in Italian Mountain and Remote Areas

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the convergence in on‐farm diversification strategies of agricultural holdings, between remote areas and more central ones. Using Italian farm‐level data, we explore the determinants of diversification strategies across farms.

Interpretable Machine Learning for Solvent‐Dependent Carrier Mobility in Solution‐Processed Organic Thin Films

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This work establishes a correlation between solvent properties and the charge transport performance of solution‐processed organic thin films through interpretable machine learning. Strong dispersion interactions (δD), moderate hydrogen bonding (δH), closely matching and compatible with the solute (quadruple thiophene), and a small molar volume (MolVol)

Via‐Points Task Execution Based on Enhanced Dynamic Movement Primitives and Steering Force Fields

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Enhanced dynamic movement primitives with steering force fields enable robotic arms to flexibly traverse static and dynamic via‐points while preserving demonstrated trajectory shapes. The method ensures stability, minimizes free‐space loss, and adapts to complex environments without additional learning, making it particularly suitable for industrial ...
