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.

, 2009 Asymptotic safety is a set of conditions, based on the existence of a nontrivial fixed point for the renormalization group flow, which would make a quantum field theory consistent up to arbitrarily high energies. After introducing the basic ideas of this approach, I review the present evidence in favor of an asymptotically safe quantum field theory of ...

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.

Elastic wave propagation and stop-band generation in strongly damaged solids
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2014 In this work, we study the propagation of elastic waves in elongated solids with an array of equallyspaced deep transverse cracks, focusing in particular on the determination of stop-bands.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficient removal of liquid aerosols from compressed gas streams is essential in chemical and energy processes. Conventional separators relying on a single mechanism (inertial or centrifugal) struggle to capture both fine and coarse droplets simultaneously.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The behavior of nanofluid flow involving a zero‐mass flux condition has received considerable interest because of a realistic scenario. In reality, this condition confines the optimistic accumulation or disappearance of nanoparticles past a sheet, constructing a more physically realistic demonstration through several applications, such as heat

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This research paper provides an extensive study of the effects of Darcy–Forchheimer von‐Karman spinning flow of Maxwell fluid across a stretching disk including the effect of heat generation based on a nonlinear function of temperature. The flow system is influenced by thermal radiations and Arrhenius activation energy.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hybrid nanofluids have emerged as next‐generation working fluids for advanced engineering application due to their superior heat transport capability in relation to the conventional nanofluids. Motivated by the rising demand for accurate prediction of transport phenomena under realistic operating situations, the present study examines the ...
