Livelihood Heterogeneity and Adoption of Combine Harvesters Under Flood Risk: Evidence From the Wetland Areas of Bangladesh

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Livelihood heterogeneity explains uneven combine harvester adoption in haor wetlands. PCA–cluster analysis identifies four farmer typologies shaping mechanization pathways. Adoption is highest among educated and networked land‐rich farmers, lowest among traditionalists.

A numerical study of hydrogen enrichment effects on laminar methane/air flame propagation and emissions in crevices

Applications in Energy and Combustion Science
Crevices, i.e. narrow channels, inside combustion devices, have been found to be a major source of emissions, such as unburned hydrocarbons (uHC) and carbon monoxide (CO). In the present 2D model problem, a premixed laminar methane/air flame approaches a
