Policy uncertainty shocks and farm investments in Europe: Evidence from a newspaper‐based index

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract In order to quantify the impact of agricultural policy uncertainty on European farmers' investment behavior, we construct a newspaper‐based monthly index of European agricultural policy uncertainty from 2013 to 2023. We use 327,224 newspaper articles to assess and compare the trends in policy uncertainty across five top agricultural producers ...

Synergy between repellents and non-pyrethroid insecticides strongly extends the efficacy of treated nets against Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
BACKGROUND: To manage the kdr pyrethroid-resistance in Anopheline malaria vectors, new compounds or new strategies are urgently needed. Recently, mixing repellents (DEET) and a non-pyrethroid insecticide (propoxur) was shown to be as effective as ...

Influence of preparative form on the target efficiency and toxicity of the solid insecticide based on pyrethroid and neonicatinoid

open access: yesChimica Techno Acta, 2022
The influence of solid preparative form was studied on the «GET Dry» insecticide based on alpha-cypermethrin and imidacloprid. The target efficiency as acute and residual impact was studied when agent was applied against the bedbugs (Cimex hemipterus ...

Pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles gambiae leads to increased susceptibility to the entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Entomopathogenic fungi are being investigated as a new mosquito control tool because insecticide resistance is preventing successful mosquito control in many countries, and new methods are required that can target insecticide-resistant malaria

Biotic modulators of global change effects on plant communities

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding and predicting future plant biodiversity and productivity is critical for prioritizing global change mitigation, conservation, and restoration efforts. One major challenge is that we know remarkably little about how interspecific interactions may modulate the effects of global change factors on diversity and productivity.

A pre-intervention study of malaria vector abundance in Rio Muni, Equatorial Guinea: their role in malaria transmission and the incidence of insecticide resistance alleles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
BACKGROUND: Following the success of the malaria control intervention on the island of Bioko, malaria control by the use of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLITN) was extended to Rio Muni, on the mainland part of

Dual‐Function Electrocatalysis: Simultaneous Wastewater Remediation and Hydrogen Evolution—A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
Replacing the oxygen evolution reaction with the electro‐oxidation of pollutants and waste streams offers an energy‐efficient route for simultaneous hydrogen production and pollutant remediation. This review summarizes the reaction mechanisms, catalyst design principles, and emerging paired‐electrolysis strategies that govern activity, selectivity ...
