What Explains Racial Differences in Farm Succession Planning? Evidence From Decomposition and Counterfactual Analysis

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines racial differences in farm succession planning using survey data from Tennessee farmers. While observed differences between White and Black farmers are small, decomposition and counterfactual analyses show that structural characteristics, particularly farm size, would predict higher succession planning among White farmers ...

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

Lab‐Scale Fabrication Process Selection for Soft Robotics: Benchmarking, Tradeoffs, and Guidelines for Formative Manufacturing of Soft Silicone Components

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows

An Integrated Fabric‐Pneumatic Soft Sensing System for Multi‐Site Muscle Activity Decoding

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabric‐pneumatic chambers convert muscle deformation into pressure signals without electronics at the body‐contact sensing interface. A unified processing pipeline enables static posture classification, continuous elbow‐angle estimation, forearm gesture recognition, and knee‐movement detection across three anatomical sites.
