King and Cochrane: The technological treadmill and racial inequity in US agriculture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Between 1920 and 1969, the number of Black farmers in the US decreased from 14% of all operators to 4%. Using Martin Luther King Jr.'s critique of agricultural policy and Willard Cochrane's theory of the technological treadmill, we explore how racial discrimination was linked to policies that led to structural change in US agriculture.

Food Tastes in the United States: Convergence or Divergence?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how food consumption tastes have changed in recent decades across the United States. Using NielsenIQ data for over 77 million transactions, there is evidence of divergence in food tastes across regions from 2007 to 2016 and across households of different income, education, and race/ethnicity groups.

The Role of Actual and Purported Origin in e‐Commerce Wine Pricing: Evidence From Italian and French Names on Labels

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The origin of a product, if associated with good quality, can contribute to building a positive collective reputation, leading to a potential price premium. However, it is conceivable that a producer markets a product by evoking symbols, images, words, and values typical of places other than where it was designed or produced, creating a ...

Multiresponsive Color‐Tunable Phosphorescence With Matrix‐Confined Clusters

Aggregate, EarlyView.
The molecule with cluster‐triggered emission mechanisms is embedded in polymer matrix, the phosphorescence properties of multiclusters are size‐dependent and exhibit different responses to various stimuli, including temperature, concentration, and excitation, which synergistically induce color‐range tunable time‐dependent phosphorescence color behavior.

Could the chemical industry mitigate rapid global cooling from a catastrophic volcanic eruption?

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimates based on historical data place the probability of a catastrophic volcanic eruption in the next 100 years at around one in six. Large volcanic eruptions can lead to significant global cooling for 2–4 years, with potentially devastating impacts on global agriculture.

Hybrid rule‐based and optimization‐driven framework for the synthesis of end‐to‐end optimal pharmaceutical processes

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The modernization of pharmaceutical manufacturing is driving a shift from traditional batch processing to continuous alternatives. Synthesizing end‐to‐end optimal (E2EO) manufacturing routes is crucial for the pharmaceutical industry, especially when considering multiple operating modes—such as batch, continuous, or hybrid (containing both ...
