The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Capacitive, charge‐domain compute‐in‐memory (CIM) stores weights as capacitance,eliminating DC sneak paths and IR‐drop, yielding near‐zero standbypower. In this perspective, we present a device to systems level performance analysis of most promising architectures and predict apathway for upscaling capacitive CIM for sustainable edge computing ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A lightweight machine learning (ML)‐based thermal prediction framework is demonstrated and implemented on a field‐programmable gate array (FPGA). Using measured temperature data from a real chiplet, the approach enables real‐time, die‐level heat‐map inference with low power consumption, validating practical on‐chip thermal monitoring for advanced ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market
