Does Contract Farming Improve Diet Quality? The Case of Senegalese Smallholders
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The institution of contract farming has gained prominence in most developing countries owing to its numerous benefits. While several studies have already highlighted the welfare benefits of contract farming, very few have investigated the effects on diet quality, despite poor quality diets being a serious challenge in most parts of the ...

A Skills Gap Analysis of Farmer Directors of US Farmer Cooperatives
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Boards of directors are vital to firm performance and are an integral part of the decision‐making process of any business. Several studies have been conducted that observe corporate or nonprofit board characteristics, skills, and the board's connection to firm performance.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using LCA‐based grading system. These findings provide a new risk stratification framework for the design of precision surgery to treat patients with HCC.

Integer factorization algorithms
, 2020 The mathematical area of integer factorization has gone a long way since the early days of Pierre de Fermat, and with simpler algorithms developed in the last century such as the Trial division and Pollards rho algorithm to the more complex method of the Quadratic sieve algorithm (QS), we have now arrived at the General Number Field Sieve (GNFS) which ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from end‐of‐life (EOL) products represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen the domestic supply chain for rare earth elements. This work presents a superstructure‐based optimization framework for finding the most economical processing pathway for different EOL rare earth permanent magnets (REPMs ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Despite extensive modeling efforts in extraction research, transient column models are rarely applied in industry due to concerns regarding parameter identifiability and model reliability. To address this, we analyzed uncertainty propagation from estimated parameters in a previously introduced column model and assessed identifiability via ill ...

A multiscale Bayesian optimization framework for process and material codesign
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The simultaneous design of processes and enabling materials such as solvents, catalysts, and adsorbents is challenging because molecular‐ and process‐level decisions are strongly interdependent. Sequential approaches often yield suboptimal results since improvements in material properties may not translate into superior process performance. We

Deterministic Integer Factorization Algorithms
, 2013 A new integer deterministic factorization algorithm, rated at arithmetic operations to $O(N^{1/6+\varepsilon})$ arithmetic operations, is presented in this note. Equivalently, given the least $(\log N)/6$ bits of a factor of the balanced integer $N = pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are primes, the algorithm factors the integer in polynomial time $O(\log(N)^c)$,

On the Tower Factorization of Integers
The American Mathematical MonthlyUnder the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, any integer $n>1$ can be uniquely written as a product of prime powers $p^a$; factoring each exponent $a$ as a product of prime powers $q^b$, and so on, one will obtain what is called the tower factorization of $n$.
