Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific

Spatial aggregation induces asymmetric retention of ecosystem service bundles and reshapes their associations with social-ecological predictors: Evidence from the Loess Plateau

Ecological Indicators
Ecosystem service bundles (ESBs) are widely used to identify recurring combinations of ecosystem services for spatial planning, but their representation and interpretation depend on analytical support.

Principal Bundles and Gauge Theories [PDF]

, 2011
This set of lecture notes fills a hole that in the authors opinion currently exists in the available literature on (prequantum or first quantised) gauge theory: theoretical physics texts do lots of calculations in coordinates and fail to appreciate the ...

An Autonomous Large Language Model‐Agent Framework for Transparent and Local Time Series Forecasting

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Architecture of the proposed large language model (LLM)‐based agent framework for autonomous time series forecasting in thermal power generation systems. The framework operates through a vertical pipeline initiated by natural language queries from users, which are processed by the LLM Agent Core powered by Llama.cpp and a ReAct loop with persistent ...

Brill-Noether loci of rank 2 vector bundles over an algebraic curve [PDF]

, 1999
In this thesis the Brill-Noether loci W of rank 2 stable vector bundles of canonical determinant over an algebraic curve are studied. We analyse three conjectures on the nonexistence, dimension and smoothness of W, collectively known as the Brill ...

Interactions between ecosystem services and their causal relationships with driving factors: A case study of the Tarim River Basin, China

Ecological Indicators
Clarifying different ecosystem service (ES) interactions and their primary driving factors is essential for effective ecosystem management. Grassland degradation, interrupted river flow, and intensified human activities pose serious threats to the ESs of
