Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Eradication versus control: the economics of global infectious disease policies

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2004
A disease is controlled if, by means of a public policy, the circulation of an infectious agent is restricted below the level that would be sustained by individuals acting independently to control the disease.

Retinal Vessel Segmentation: A Comprehensive Review From Classical Methods to Deep Learning Advances (1982–2025)

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Four decades of retinal vessel segmentation research (1982–2025) are synthesized, spanning classical image processing, machine learning, and deep learning paradigms. A meta‐analysis of 428 studies establishes a unified taxonomy and highlights performance trends, generalization capabilities, and clinical relevance.

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Can pigs add another “P” to the PPR? Serological evidence of frequent Peste des petits ruminants infections in pigs in Nigeria

Veterinary Research
To achieve the global eradication of Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), the epidemiological role of atypical hosts must be fully understood. Among domestic animals, pigs are, until now, the only species that has proven to fulfil criteria relevant for ...

Therapeutic Outcomes in VEXAS Syndrome: A Multicenter Comparative Cohort of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Hypomethylating Agents

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypomethylating agents (HMA) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) have both demonstrated remissions in VEXAS; however, comparative data is lacking. We conducted a multicenter, retrospective analysis of 66 patients diagnosed with VEXAS syndrome treated with HMA (n = 35) or alloHSCT (n = 31). Baseline characteristics

Perilipin‐2‐Anchored Lipid Droplet‐Targeting Phototheranostics

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This study reports two NIR theranostic dyes, C‐BDP‐OH and C‐BDP‐OMe. C‐BDP‐OMe targets lipid droplets via a dual‐anchoring mechanism with PLIN2, enabling wash‐free tumor imaging. With 62.6% photothermal conversion efficiency, it achieves tumor ablation by downregulating PLIN2, disrupting LD‐mitochondria crosstalk, and triggering apoptosis and ...
