Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Exposure to heat waves and drought improves subsequent leaf heat tolerance for five oak species in southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.

Inflection: On The Complexity of Emerging Elegance

It is argued that the issue of aesthetics and elegance in emergent research design and complex architectural systems can be examined, and curated by “pinning down” and analyzing inflection as an appropriate technique for controlling most types of ...

Light‐Weight Sustainable Composite From Virgin and Recycled Polypropylene Blends and Biocarbon for Automotive Part Application

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The circular utilization of automotive recycled polypropylene (rPP) blended with virgin polymer and waste‐derived biocarbon to develop sustainable composite materials. The composites were processed via melt compounding and injection molding. The addition of sustainable biocarbon lowered the coefficient of linear thermal expansion and maleic anhydride ...
