Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This paper presents an agar medium with a phosphorescent grid pattern that measures the stress distribution generated by growing plant roots. Using phosphorescence, the system optically separates the grid pattern from the root and extracts the grid deformation.

Social Capital and Agricultural Trade
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2001 have. Using original survey data from three African countries, we establish that individual traders with more contacts have higher output. We also investigate the origin of social capital and other productive resources. The evidence suggests that start-up conditions and business experience have a paramount influence on social and physical capital ...
