Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

The role of venture‐financed startups in innovation for US agriculture
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract To evaluate the role played by startup companies in the innovation ecosystem of US agriculture, we compile a unique dataset of 6024 new entrants founded 1987–2019 that details their financing lifecycles, annual economic performance, and patenting activities.

State-Directed Diffusion of Technology: The Mechanization of Cotton-Farming in Soviet Central Asia [PDF]
When Soviet central planners began to mechanize the cotton harvest in earnest in 1958, they expected more rapid diffusion than the market-driven process that had begun in the United States a decade earlier.

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Palm oil, which is extracted from the mesocarp of the fruit of the Elaeis guineensis Jacq. palm tree, is the most widely produced vegetable oil in the world. The extraction of this substance typically utilizes the conventional pressing method, a technique that is advantageous due to its low operating cost and simplified process.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The presence of antibiotics in water not only causes environmental pollution but also increases the growth of antibiotic‐resistant bacterial genes, which pose serious threats to human beings and other water residents. Large numbers of people are reportedly affected by the resistant bacterial genes, as many broad‐spectrum antibiotics are not ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Detecting clear tissue‐ and organ‐specific patterns of gene expression is key to understanding the genetic mechanisms that control plant development. In situ hybridization (ISH) of mRNA is one of the most precise, yet most challenging approaches to gene expression assays.

PbAT: A user‐friendly R/Shiny platform for data‐driven decision support in crop improvement
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Modern plant breeding requires robust analysis of complex, multi‐environment datasets to identify superior genotypes. Although R offers powerful statistical packages, their use often requires programming expertise. Existing graphical user interface (GUI)‐based tools are either limited in scope or not openly accessible, leaving breeders
