Potential of Photovoltaic and Diesel Off‐Grid Systems for Irrigation in Brazil Considering Carbon Credits

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation is a crucial practice for the security of rural businesses, ensuring agricultural production even in periods without rainfall. This work aimed to analyse the financial viability of an off‐grid photovoltaic (PV) system as an alternative to traditional energy sources for pumping irrigation in Brazilian agricultural areas.

Climate and political effects on agriculture: Empirical evidence from SSA

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract The most of Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries have been affected by climate change and food insecurity problems due to the reduction of production and productivity of cereal crops in the continent. The purpose of this research was to examine the short‐run and long‐run effects of climate change on agricultural productivity in 24 selected SSA ...

Modeling Changes in Classroom Incivility Across Adolescence

Journal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Classroom incivility is low‐level antisocial behavior that disrupts the overall learning environment. It is an important behavior to be studied in adolescence, given its associations with other antisocial behavior (e.g., bullying), negative impact on the learning environment, and predicting later aggressive behavior.

Revisiting Group Differences in High‐Dimensional Choices: Method and Application to Congressional Speech

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gentzkow, Shapiro, and Taddy, Econometrica 87, no. 4, 2019 (henceforth GST), use a supervised text‐based regression model to assess changes in partisanship in US congressional speech over time. Their estimates imply that partisanship is far greater in recent years than in the past and that it increased sharply in the early 1990s.

Clay Mineral–Hydrophobic Organic Compound Interactions in Miniaturized Adsorption Experiments: Exemplary Studies With Bentonites and Hexachlorobenzene

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Clay mineral–hydrophobic organic compound interactions were studied with hexachlorobenzene and 21 bentonites. Adsorption strength varies depending on bentonite properties. For highly adsorptive bentonites, adsorption is comparable with adsorption to organic matter.

Effects of Seasonal Rest Grazing on Soil Aggregate Stability and Organic Carbon in Alpine Grasslands in Northern Xizang

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seasonal rest grazing is key to the recovery and sustainable use of alpine grasslands in northern Xizang. Postgrazing changes in soil structure and organic carbon stability are indicative of grassland recovery. However, the mechanisms by which seasonal rest grazing affects these soil properties remain unclear.
