Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Premium subsidy designs and crowding out of insurance demand
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Crop insurance is an important instrument to protect farmers against extreme weather events. Many countries provide subsidies for crop insurance products to make insurance more affordable for farmers. The Federal Crop Insurance Program in the United States and major European crop insurance programs such as in Spain, Italy, and France focus on ...

Fluctuation Theorems and the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics
, 2010 In 1993 Evans, Cohen and Morriss described the first Fluctuation Theorem1. Fluctuation theorems describe the statistics of time averages of a generalized entropy production, namely the dissipation function.

Firm turnover under asymmetric information: Tanzania's agro‐dealer sector
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract We study firm turnover (i.e., entry and exit) and its consumer implications in a market characterized by asymmetric information. Using a three‐round census of agro‐dealers in Tanzania's Morogoro Region, we document annual firm entry and exit rates of 33% and 17%, respectively.

Conceptual and practical approaches for investigating irreversible processes
New Journal of PhysicsCurrent research in statistical mechanics mostly concerns the investigation of out-of-equilibrium, irreversible processes, which are ubiquitous in nature and still far from being theoretically understood.

Fluids under High Pressure Insighted by Operando Neutron Imaging and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.There is limited research on how fluids behave under the extreme conditions found in fuel gas systems (high pressure) and catalytic reactors (high temperature and pressure). Neutron Imaging provides experimental data on interfacial tension, and Henry's law volatility constant, apparent molar volume, and diffusion coefficient for systems from toluene ...

Fluctuation limit theorems of immigration superprocesses with small branching
We establish fluctuation limit theorems of immigration superprocesses with small branching rates. The weak convergence of the processes on a Sobolev space is established, which improves the result of Gorostiza and Li (High density fluctuations of ...

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.This graphical abstract illustrates the unified framework of Data Field Theory (DFT), integrating hyperbolic geometry for hierarchical embedding, gauge theory for internal symmetries, renormalization group for multi‐scale dynamics, Lévy processes for heavy‐tailed fluctuations, noncommutative geometry for quantum‐inspired cognition, and higher ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Domestic rabbits of different body sizes differ disproportionately in the length of their tooth row or the length of their diastema. Abstract In various domestic mammals, smaller breeds tend to have proportionally larger teeth, whereas this is not a universal trend across mammals.
