American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

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.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water pollution by oil and organic substances causes serious problems that threaten the ecosystem. Superhydrophobic materials represent an effective solution for removing oil from water. The present paper investigates the development of a low‐cost, superhydrophobic composite for oil–water separation.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Adaptive mixing formation control of multiquadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle systems
Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a distributed adaptive mixing control (AMC) design for formation maintenance of systems of multiquadrotor UAVs (q‐UAVs) during commanded path‐tracking maneuvers. The proposed formation control scheme has a two‐level structure. The high level defines the desired trajectories for rigid and persistent formation acquisition and

Repeating Nuclear Transients From Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extragalactic nuclear transients that exhibit repeating outbursts can be modeled as the repeated dynamical interaction between bound stars and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). A subset of these transients, with recurrence timescales of months‐to‐years, have been explained as accretion flares from the repeated tidal stripping of a star by an ...

In Situ Methanation on Mars: A Process Concept Study on the Impact of H2/CO2 and Recycle Ratio
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.The rocket propellant methane can be produced on Mars by in situ resource utilization. The H2/CO2 ratio is decisive, and excess H2 is favored for providing sufficient propellant purity. The operation mode—with or without recycling of unreacted reactants—depends on the resource availability of the selected landing site. Abstract For return missions from

Optimal model‐based design of experiments for parameter precision: Supercritical extraction case
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the process of chamomile oil extraction from flowers. A parameter‐distributed model consisting of a set of partial differential equations is used to describe the governing mass transfer phenomena in a cylindrical packed bed with solid chamomile particles under supercritical conditions using carbon dioxide as a solvent ...
