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

Evaluation of plasma‐reaction‐driving capability in dielectric barrier discharge systems: Insights from CH4 splitting

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma systems are promising routes for CH4 splitting to COx‐free hydrogen, but their optimization has historically been hindered by the lack of a universal descriptor linking electrical input with chemical output.

Membrane‐aided simultaneous reaction–separation for liquid phase products

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Conventionally, reaction and separation are conducted as separate steps in liquid‐phase manufacturing, with products formed during reaction and subsequently separated from unreacted reagents, solvents, and byproducts. Integrating these steps into a simultaneous reaction–separation process can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

pyDMS: A Python package for the determination of physics‐informed dual‐mode sorption (DMS) parameters

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Sorption in glassy polymer membranes is commonly modeled with the dual‐mode sorption (DMS) model. Fitting the DMS model to sorption isotherms presents challenges, as multiple parameter sets may prove satisfactory. This work presents pyDMS, an open‐source Python package for the computation of DMS parameters obtained via a physics‐informed ...
