Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Dative bonds are an integral, albeit underappreciated, part of the theory of chemical bonds. In their resonant form they can bring a surprising stability to a novel family of rings with multiple hyper/hypo‐valent elements. Abstract The dative bond is an often underappreciated entity in the theory of chemical interactions, despite its explanatory and ...

Thinking Adaptive: Towards a Behaviours Virtual [PDF]
, 2000 In this paper we name some of the advantages of virtual laboratories; and propose that a Behaviours Virtual Laboratory should be useful for both biologists and AI researchers, offering a new perspective for understanding adaptive behaviour.

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Africa's cultural and colonial heritage has profoundly segmented rice markets. Whereas in ancient centers of rice domestication, consumers maintained preferences for local rice consistent with their cultural heritage, preferences have shifted toward imported Asian rice in coastal areas around seaports, due to prior exposure to colonial import ...

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

The Role of Certifications in Improving Household Food Security Among Peruvian Farmers
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Achieving global food security requires sustainable transformations in agri‐food systems. Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) such as Organic and Fairtrade aim to internalize certain social and environmental costs while promoting more equitable value distribution, improved market access, and sustainable production practices.

Perceived thickness and creaminess modulates the short-term satiating effects of high protein drinks [PDF]
, 2013 Previous research suggests that increasing beverage protein content enhances subsequent satiety, but whether this effect is entirely attributable to post-ingestive effects of protein or is partly caused by the distinct sensory characteristics imparted by

Energy‐Efficient Knapsack Optimization Using Probabilistic Memristor Crossbars
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.The knapsack problem, a nondeterministic polynomial‐time (NP)‐hard combinatorial optimization problem, is solved energy‐efficiently. This work presents an algorithm‐hardware co‐design and implementation for practical (non‐ideal) NP‐hard problems with destabilizing self‐feedback (non‐zero diagonal) and non‐binary Hamiltonian representations under analog
