Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

National Disability Insurance Scheme and Quality of Life Among Carers of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder in Australia: A Thematic Analysis

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder in Australia have increased considerably in recent years. The current study investigated how the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) impacts quality of life (QoL) among carers of children with autism spectrum disorder.

Syrphophilus bizonarius (Gravenhorst, 1829) (Hymenoptera) - new to Malta, with a revised check-list of the Ichneumonidae of the Maltese Islands [PDF]

, 2012
The Ichneumonidae is a species rich family with 36,179 valid species recorded by yu & horStmAnn (1997). Ichneumonids utilise a diverse array of insects and arachnids as their hosts and play an essential role in the normal functioning of terrestrial ...

Protein‐Template Gold Nanoclusters Induce Differentiation and Modify the Functional Properties of Primary Astrocytes

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The incubation of primary astrocytes with fAuNCs‐BSA induces: (A) long‐term effects including fAuNCs‐BSA internalization, red cell fluorescence, differentiation, upregulation of Ca2+ signaling, Cl‐current, and cell volume regulation. B) Short‐term (200 ms) stimulation with UV LED light increases in Ca2+ signaling and inhibition of K+ current. Astrocyte

Mesopelagic Fish as a Promising New Source of Omega‐3 Fatty Acids in Comparison With Australian Commercial Seafood

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global dietary guidelines consistently recommend regular seafood consumption to support adequate omega‐3 long‐chain (≥ C20) polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) intake. Most international health authorities advise two servings of seafood per week, including at least one serve of oily fish, to achieve approximately 500 mg/day of combined ...

Numerical and Experimental Study of Mixing Characteristics in a Spiral Micromixer

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Significant enhancement of mixing performance can be achieved by Dean vortices in spiral channels. In order to deeply explore the mixing mechanisms and variation laws in spiral micromixers, this work designed a spiral micromixer and adopted a combined method of experiments and numerical simulations to analyze the mixing performance and ...

Signature of Einstein-Cartan theory

Physics Letters B
We study the effects of torsion as predicted by the Einstein-Cartan theory in the test-particle non-relativist approximation. We derive the corresponding 2-spinor Hamiltonian.

The Role of Intraparticle Diffusion in Kinetic Model Discrimination: Proof of Concept Testing for Methanol Dehydration

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rate of a heterogeneous catalytic process may simultaneously be described by several rate equations. In this case, discrimination between the plausible kinetic models is required. An intrinsic kinetic model of a heterogeneous catalytic process may successively be discriminated by the transition from a reaction rate‐limited regime to an ...
