Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific

Energy efficient data collection with multiple mobile sink using artificial bee colony algorithm in large-scale WSN

open access: yesAutomatika, 2019
In most wireless sensor networks (WSN), multi-hop routing algorithm is used to transmit the data collected by sensors to user. Multi-hop forwarding leads to energy hole problem and high transmission overhead in large scale WSN.

HOPE Kids 2: Phase 3, Randomized Trial of Voxelotor in Children With SCD and Conditional Cerebral Blood Flow Velocities

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children with SCD have elevated stroke risk, correlated with cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV). HOPE Kids 2 was a phase 3, multicenter, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial evaluating the effect of voxelotor on CBFV. Participants aged 2 to < 15 years with SCD (HbSS/HbSβ0) and conditional CBFV (170 to < 200 cm/s) were randomized 1:1 to ...

Two‐Photon Absorption in Perovskite Semiconductors

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
The two‐photon absorption (TPA) models used for perovskite semiconductors were primarily developed for conventional semiconductors and neglect the unique perovskite band structure. We have developed a model for the perovskite TPA coefficient, incorporating the inter‐ and intra‐band transitions in the conduction band states.

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...
