Premium subsidy designs and crowding out of insurance demand

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is an important instrument to protect farmers against extreme weather events. Many countries provide subsidies for crop insurance products to make insurance more affordable for farmers. The Federal Crop Insurance Program in the United States and major European crop insurance programs such as in Spain, Italy, and France focus on ...

Income sharing for common pool resources with uncertain productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the interconnected issues of externalities in the use of a natural common‐pool resource system and adverse effects of environmental uncertainty on risk‐averse resource users. We set up a simple analytical model and derive conditions such that insurance by means of an income sharing mechanism mitigates externalities and hence ...

1,2‐propanediol reformulation improves tribromoethanol safety and reveals pontine GABRA1 enrichment as a candidate mechanistic correlate of anesthesia

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study develops a reformulated tribromoethanol (TBE) anesthetic using 1,2‐propanediol as a solvent to overcome solvent‐related toxicity. The novel formulation demonstrates, cardiovascular stability, and survival in prolonged protocols. It provides potent, dose‐dependent anesthesia without strain or sex differences.

Tuning Pore Geometry of Zirconium Metal–Organic Frameworks via Bent Ligands for Enhanced Sulfide Oxidation Catalysis

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Engineering pore geometry through ligand conformational bending enhances active‐site accessibility and mass transport in Zr‐MOFs, leading to superior catalytic sulfide oxidation. ABSTRACT Pore engineering represents a powerful strategy to tailor the physicochemical properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), yet the structure‐activity relationship ...

Ice‐Droplet and Damaged Elastomer Interfaces: A Closer Look at Contact and Morphology of Anti‐Icing Coatings Using Cryo‐FIB‐SEM

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Cryo‐FIB‐SEM is used to mill and image the interfaces of ice droplets frozen on PDMS coatings damaged by abrasion and cutting. Both high‐ and low‐real contact areas are revealed for the first time, with interpenetration dependent on the shape of asperities on the damaged surface.

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

Understanding the spacing of placodes in the eye: A comparative study across age and species

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The conjunctival placodes of the avian eye form in an intriguing and conserved sequence in a circular annulus around the cornea. These 13–16 placodes develop into papillae that are essential for inducing underlying intramembranous flat bones, known as scleral ossicles, which form an important part of the ocular skeleton.

Cortical bone distribution in the human mandibular symphysis: Ontogenic and morphometric approaches in archeological context

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The human mandibular symphysis concentrates multiaxial loads during function and remodels throughout growth, but the precise mechanisms underlying cortical bone shape during growth remain relatively unexplored. Approaches based solely on thickness or external cortical contours provide only partial insights and do not capture the functional ...
