THINNING ACTIVITY AND FRUIT QUALITY OF GALA AND FUJI APPLE VARIETIES AS AFFECTED BY CYTOKININS

open access: yes, 2004
Gala and Fuji apples are difficult to thin properly because of their high fertility and extended bloom period under the Italian climatic conditions. Since hand thinning is too expensive, two cytokinin-like compounds which are considered among the most ...

Protection Motivation Theory and Farmers' Participation in Futures Markets: Evidence From Germany

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
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

Exploiting Ferroelectric and Spintronic Dynamics for Neural Network Computation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
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
