A Skills Gap Analysis of Farmer Directors of US Farmer Cooperatives

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Boards of directors are vital to firm performance and are an integral part of the decision‐making process of any business. Several studies have been conducted that observe corporate or nonprofit board characteristics, skills, and the board's connection to firm performance.

Injecting External Solutions Into CMA-ES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This report considers how to inject external candidate solutions into the CMA-ES algorithm. The injected solutions might stem from a gradient or a Newton step, a surrogate model optimizer or any other oracle or search mechanism.

Who Are the Consumers of European Farmers' Markets? A Cross‐Country Analysis

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With substantial growth in the number of farmers' markets (FMs) in developed countries, the number of consumers visiting FMs is also increasing. This study comparatively assesses the consumers of FMs in three European countries where FMs traditionally play a distinctive role in food supply chains.

The Wine Attributes with the Greatest Influence in the Process of Consumer Choice in Spain [PDF]

open access: yes
The commercialisation of wine in Spain is problematic due to two concrete circumstances: the decrease in wine consumption because of a consumer shift toward substitute drinks and the greater presence of national and foreign wine in the interior market ...

U.S. Consumer Preferences for Cage‐Free Eggs and Hen Housing Policies

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm animal welfare (FAW) continues to be a divisive issue in the egg industry. In the United States, 10 states and most major retailers have implemented policies or voluntary pledges to transition to 100% cage‐free egg sales. We use best‐worst scaling and discrete choice experiments to evaluate U.S.

Accelerating Surface Composition Characterization of Thin‐Film Materials Libraries Using Multi‐Output Gaussian Process Regression

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
To integrate surface analysis into materials discovery workflows, Gaussian process regression is used to accurately predict surface compositions from rapidly acquired volume composition data (obtained by energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy), drastically reducing the number of required surface measurements on thin‐film materials libraries.

A Comprehensive Assessment and Benchmark Study of Large Atomistic Foundation Models for Phonons

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
We benchmark six large atomistic foundation models on 2429 crystalline materials for phonon transport properties. The rapid development of universal machine learning potentials (uMLPs) has enabled efficient, accurate predictions of diverse material properties across broad chemical spaces.
