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

Contact Force Estimation in Human–Robot Collaboration: A Case Study on Heavyweight Robotic Manipulators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The method presented in this paper provides a practical sensorless solution for estimating both contact force and contact location using only standard joint encoders and an available robot dynamic model. By reformulating the contact estimation problem using a single scalar equivalent contact parameter, the approach enables fast and robust computation ...

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Genomics is modifying our concepts of evolution in homosporous and heterosporous vascular plants

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Across the tree of life, and particularly within land plants, there is a wide diversity and disparity of genome structure. The most well‐studied are angiosperms, comprising mostly small and dynamic genomes, with a history of ancient whole genome duplications.

Electrochemically Induced Structural Evolution to Generate Optimized High‐Entropy‐Alloy Electrocatalysts for Ethanol Oxidation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Electrochemical cycling drives spontaneous facet optimization in high‐entropy Pd@PdPtIrRuRh core‐shell nanocrystals, reshaping simple cubes into severely beveled architectures with balanced {100}/{110}/{111} facets. This dynamic restructuring yields active electrocatalysts that favor complete ethanol oxidation via the C1 pathway, suppress strongly ...
