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

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)

Printed Wearable Sweat Rate Sensor for Continuous In Situ Perspiration Measurement

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
A wireless wearable sweat rate sensor system is presented, featuring digital 3D direct‐write printing on a flexible substrate with microfluidic layers for continuous, real‐time monitoring. Printed encapsulated metal electrodes are used for capacitance measurements, achieving high sensitivity (0.01 μL min−1) while maintaining a compact and lightweight ...

Nonplanar Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)‐Niobium Oxide (NbOx) Neurons for Oscillatory Neural Network Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a nonplanar niobium oxide (NbOx) neuron device fabricated using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method for use in oscillatory neural networks (ONNs). Potentially, such nonplanar geometry allows for high‐density arrays. The desired threshold switching (TS) characteristics are achieved through an interfacial method using a thin ...

Adaptive Autonomy in Microrobot Motion Control via Deep Reinforcement Learning and Path Planning Synergy

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a data‐driven framework that combines deep reinforcement learning with classical path planning to achieve adaptive microrobot navigation. By training a surrogate neural network to emulate microrobot dynamics, the approach improves learning efficiency, reduces training time, and enables robust real‐time obstacle avoidance in ...

Rüdin's Unpublished Family Study From the Early 1920s: “On the Inheritance of Manic‐Depressive Insanity”

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ernst Rüdin, an important and controversial figure in the history of psychiatric genetics, published only one major empirical study on siblings of dementia praecox (DP) probands in 1916. He conducted a parallel study of siblings of probands with manic‐depressive insanity (MDI), but the resulting monograph, written in the early 1920s, was left ...

Tetraaza[7]–[15]helicenes Synthesized by Two‐Step Strategy: Length‐Controlled Chiral π‐Systems Exhibiting Amplified Circularly Polarized Luminescence

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A modular two‐step strategy provides tetraaza[n]helicenes (n = 7–15) as a homologous series with tunable photophysical and chiroptical properties. Extension beyond n = 11 induces pronounced through‐space π–π interactions, narrowing the energy gap and amplifying circularly polarized luminescence.
