Bi-objective goal programming for balancing costs vs. nutritional adequacy

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
IntroductionLinear programming (LP) is often used within diet optimization to find, from a set of available food commodities, the most affordable diet that meets the nutritional requirements of an individual or (sub)population. It is, however, not always

Study of Resistive Switching Dynamics and Memory States Equilibria in Analog Filamentary Conductive‐Metal‐Oxide/HfOx ReRAM via Compact Modeling

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A physics‐based compact model for Conductive‐Metal‐Oxide/HfOx ReRAM, accounting for ion dynamics, electronic conduction, and thermal effects, is presented. Accurate and versatile simulations of analog non‐volatile conductance modulation and memory state stabilization enable reliable circuit‐level studies, advancing the optimization of neuromorphic and ...

Low‐Power Control Of Resistance Switching Transitions in First‐Order Memristors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Joule losses are a serious concern in modern integrated circuit design. In this regard, minimizing the energy necessary for programming memristors should be handled with care. This manuscript presents an optimal control framework, allowing to derive energy‐efficient programming voltage protocols for resistance switching devices. Following this approach,

Cost-effectiveness of decentralising acute malnutrition treatment with a standard or simplified treatment protocol: an economic evaluation in the region of Gao, Mali

BMC Public Health
Background Acute malnutrition treatment coverage remains low worldwide, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Decentralisation of treatment to Community Health Worker (CHW) sites has shown to be an effective strategy to improve access and increase

Kenyan Farmers' Policy Priorities During Economic Crisis and Stability: Insights From a Best‐Worst Scaling Experiment

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid rising food and fertilizer prices, understanding farmers' policy preferences is critical for effective crisis response. We use best‐worst scaling experiment to assess Kenyan mobile‐owning crop farmers' preferences for government support under high and normal price scenarios.

Accounting for Substitution: Improving Estimates of GHG Reductions From Cattle‐Based Product Demand Shifts

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Estimates of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from lower demand for cattle‐based products must account for substitution effects. This study collected data through two surveys—one on ground beef and another on dairy milk—to evaluate substitution effects and potential GHG reductions.

How Does Cultural and Colonial Heritage Affect Optimal Branding Strategies? Evidence From the Rice Sector in Senegal

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Africa's cultural and colonial heritage has profoundly segmented rice markets. Whereas in ancient centers of rice domestication, consumers maintained preferences for local rice consistent with their cultural heritage, preferences have shifted toward imported Asian rice in coastal areas around seaports, due to prior exposure to colonial import ...
