How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

A Real-Time Flood Forecasting Technique

Water International, 1984
ABSTRACT A simple hydrologic technique is presented which is applied to short-term forecasting of floodflows at the outlet of a river basin by using rainfall information and water levels of the flood events at an upstream index station of the basin. The time of occurrence of the forecasted floodflow is also estimated.

Drivers of Farmers' Contract Compliance Behavior: Evidence From a Case Study of Dangote Tomato Processing Plant in Northern Nigeria

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contract farming is a viable strategy agribusinesses rely on to strengthen coordination across actors in the value chain. However, low contract compliance remains a significant setback to agribusinesses' contract performance in low‐ and middle‐income country context.

Research on a hybrid model for flood probability prediction based on time convolutional network and particle swarm optimization algorithm

Scientific Reports
Accurate flood forecasting in advance is crucial for planning and implementing watershed flood prevention measures. This study developed the PSO–TCN–Bootstrap flood forecasting model for the Tailan River Basin in Xinjiang by integrating the particle ...

Assessing the Impact of Promotions on Consumer Purchasing Behavior During Crises

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how households modify their food expenditure decisions during times of crisis is essential because consumer purchasing behavior frequently changes during these times. This study looks at these behavioral shifts during the COVID‐19 pandemic, concentrating on how price sensitivity and response to sales promotions changed over the ...

Too Complex to Choose? The Role of Heuristics in Shaping Farmers' Willingness to Pay for Income Stabilization Tool in Italy

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European agriculture is increasingly exposed to economic instability driven by extreme weather events, market volatility, and geopolitical tensions. To manage these growing risks, farmers are encouraged to adopt innovative risk management strategies such as the Income Stabilization Tool (IST), which offers protection against severe income ...

Glutathione‐Responsive Acyl‐Modifications for Targeted RNA Decaging and Prolonged Protein Synthesis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The self‐immolation of disulfide‐based mRNA modifications in response to endogenous glutathione (GSH) promotes a gradual release of translatable mRNA within the cell, leading to improved nuclease resistance, tunable release properties, and a significant increase (up to 600%) of target protein production over time. This strategy offers an exciting proof

Advances in real–time flood forecasting [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2002
This paper discusses the modelling of rainfall-flow (rainfall-run-off) and flow-routeing processes in river systems within the context of real-time flood forecasting. It is argued that deterministic, reductionist (or 'bottom-up') models are inappropriate for real-time forecasting because of the inherent uncertainty that characterizes river-catchment ...
