The contrasting effects of farm size on farm incomes and food production
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 Small-scale farming provides both food and livelihoods for the vast majority of the global poor. Thus, increasing and stabilizing farm incomes and food production in developing countries is fundamental to reducing global poverty.

A Long-Term Analysis of Changes in Farm Size and Financial Performance [PDF]
This paper examined the changing structure of farms in Kansas. Specifically, changes in farm size, farm type, financial performance, and economies of size were examined using five-year moving averages from 1973 to 2007.

ELF5‐Mediated Enhancer–Promoter Interaction Regulates LALBA Expression in Ovine Mammary Gland
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the study, we systematically investigate the epigenetic mechanisms underlying lactation traits in sheep by integrating transcriptomic, chromatin accessibility, histone modification, and functional analyses. We identify a super‐enhancer at the LALBA locus and demonstrate that enhancer E4 functions as its core regulatory element.

FARM AND NONFARM FACTORS INFLUENCING FARM SIZE [PDF]
The impact of the price of capital, nonfarm employment opportunities, and returns in agriculture on farm size was analyzed. A 10 region panel model using data for 1950-2000 was used. The impact of agricultural government payments was also examined.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A pork belly‐inspired all‐biomass composite film was constructed through layer‐by‐layer assembly of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), gelatin, and graphitized carbon nanosheets (GCNs) via hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions. The excellent mechanical properties, effective thermal management, and outstanding EMI shielding performance of the ...

RUNX1‐Mediated Hypoxic Signaling Impairs Myogenesis and Promotes Fibrosis in Myopathies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Myofiber overgrowth was associated with reduced blood flow and a potential hypoxic state in broiler breast muscle, accompanied by increased RUNX1 expression. Elevated RUNX1 impaired myogenic regeneration, promoted fibrosis, and disrupted the signaling niche required for efficient muscle repair, contributing to pathological degeneration in Wooden Breast
