Cooperative culture and cooperative governance structure of agricultural cooperatives

open access: yesScientific Works, 2023
A cooperative is a specific model for doing business, characterized by its own identity based on values and principles. The roots of values and principles can be traced to the foundations of human behavior and society, and they are posed as an issue in science and practice that has gained increasing importance in the last decade.

Agricultural marketing cooperatives with direct selling: A cooperative–non-cooperative game [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2014
We build a theoretical model to study a market structure of a marketing cooperative with direct selling, in which many farmers are members of an agricultural marketing cooperative. They can sell their production either to the cooperative or on an oligopolistic local market.

Effect of terahertz irradiation on DNA damage repair in living cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the effect of terahertz (THz) wave irradiation on DNA double‐strand break (DSB) repair in living cells. We found that THz irradiation enhanced DSB repair at specific frequencies, whereas heat treatment inhibited it, indicating that this effect is nonthermal and frequency‐specific.

Agricultural production cooperatives and agricultural development

open access: yesCIRIEC Working papers, 2020
Agricultural production cooperatives used to be the “stepchild” of the cooperative movement. Although they stem from a similar long tradition of agricultural service cooperatives, researchers such as Oppenheimer (1896) and Schiller (1969) observed early on that they were not attractive for farmers in villages characterised by family agriculture.

Topology‐Orchestrated Multi‐physical Energy Control in Turtle Shell‐Inspired Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A turtle shell‐inspired lattice metamaterial efficiently manages acoustic, fluid‐thermal, and mechanical energy flows simultaneously. The unique hybrid‐coupling architecture achieves superior sound attenuation via pore‐cavity resonance, facilitates effective airflow transport, and maximizes mechanical energy absorption through multistage cell ...
