Single‐Nucleus RNA Sequencing Identifies CREM as a Brake on Myofiber Hypertrophy in Chickens
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Single‐nucleus RNA sequencing on 91 144 nuclei from postnatal chicken pectoralis major between fast‐growing broilers (FG) and slow‐growing layers (SG) identifies the transcriptional factor CREM as a novel brake of myofiber hypertrophy. Mechanistically, functional validation experiments confirm that CREM activates the promoter of JUN and CREM deletion ...

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cultural capital influences a wide range of social and economic outcomes, yet quantitative measures suitable for policy analysis remain limited. We develop county‐level cultural capital indices for the US based on Bourdieu's framework of objectified, embodied, and institutionalized cultural capital.

SIZE VS EFFECTIVENESS OF AGRICULTURAL FARMS [PDF]
Annals of the Polish Association of Agricultural and Agribusiness Economists, 2019 The size of farms is one of the most important factors affecting their efficiency. The size of farms affects the ability to invest and introduce technical progress, achieve economies of scale, both internal and external, as well as achieving higher efficiency.

OFF-FARM INCOME, TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION, AND FARM ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE [PDF]
The economic well-being of most U.S. farm households depends on income from both onfarm and off-farm activities. Consequently, for many farm households, economic decisions (including technology adoption and other production decisions) are likely to be ...
