The Bitter Taste of Brazil's Temporary Import Ban on Robusta Coffee
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Brazil, a leading Robusta coffee producer and exporter, faced a significant drought in 2016–2017, which drastically reduced production and depleted stocks. Consequently, Brazil temporarily permitted the import of one million 60‐kg bags of Robusta coffee in the spring 2017. An import ban was imposed shortly afterward due to lobbying by domestic

Personalized Kirigami Strain Sensors for in vivo Applications
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Rapid prototyping of strain sensors is demonstrated using a laser cutter that both converts carbon‐based material to strain responsible graphene and generates cuts in a kirigami‐style pattern that allows enhanced substrate flexibility. This method is used to generate wearable sensors for monitoring heart rate, limb/finger motion, and abdominal ...

Understanding the first measurement of B(B→Kνν¯)
Physics Letters BRecently, Belle II reported on the first measurement of B(B±→K±νν¯) which appears to be almost 3σ larger than predicted in the Standard Model. We point out the important correlation with B(B→K⁎νν¯) so that the measurement of that decay mode could help ...
