Protection Motivation Theory and Farmers' Participation in Futures Markets: Evidence From Germany
ABSTRACT This study examines why German farmers show limited adoption of commodity futures contracts despite substantial price volatility, applying Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to understand the cognitive processes driving participation decisions in futures markets. Survey data from 303 German farmers collected in 2024 were analyzed using Partial

An Attention‐Assisted Machine Learning System for Deep Microorganism Image Classification
An attention‐assisted DenseNet201 framework was developed for the classification of eight microorganism classes from microscopic images. The proposed model improved classification performance and achieved an accuracy of 87.38%. Advances in microbiology and environmental health fundamentally depend on precise and timely microorganism identification ...

Exploiting Ferroelectric and Spintronic Dynamics for Neural Network Computation
Ferroelectric and spintronic devices, relying on the control of polarization and magnetization, offer intrinsically fast, durable, energy‐efficient, and low‐latency building blocks for analog in‐memory computing. The hysteretic dynamics of an order parameter are leveraged to provide nonvolatile, multistate memory and nonlinear switching. Brain‐inspired
