Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

Geopolitics and global strategy: Making money under anarchy

open access: yesGlobal Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Multinational firms conduct cross‐border trade and investment in a world of anarchy, where nation‐states must secure their survival in the absence of a world government. We develop a geopolitical‐economic order (GEO) framework to argue that the extent of geopolitical competition incentivizes states to create one of two types ...

Pests of red kidney beans: Increased yields resulted from proper timing and application of control treatments tested in 1952 trials

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1953
Control of the two-spotted mite and the valley leaf miner—by a single application of an insecticide-acaracide combination—increased yields of red kidney beans in experiments conducted at Linden in 1952.

Caffeine does not protect coffee against the leaf miner Perileucoptera coffeella

open access: yes, 2015
The larvae of Perileucoptera coffeella, a leaf miner, is one of the main pests attacking coffee plantations. Caffeine is the major alkaloid in this crop and may have a role in insect resistance.

An Investigation of the Relationship Between Central Bank Unconventional Monetary Policy and Bitcoin Activity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates whether the unconventional monetary policy (UMP) measures pursued by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, and the European Central Bank since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) are associated with an appetite for cryptocurrency.

Spatial distribution of the coffee-leaf-miner (Leucoptera coffeella) in an organic coffee (Coffea arabica L.) field in formation

open access: yes, 2017
Coffee production has been one of the economy pillars of many tropical countries. Unfortunately, this crop is susceptible to infestation by the coffee-leaf-miner (Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville & Perrottet, 1842)) which causes severe damage to ...

Artificial intelligence–driven decoupling structure–activity relationship for lithium‐ion batteries

open access: yesInfoScience, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence can efferently accelerate the high‐throughput screening of battery materials, the analysis of multiphase mechanisms, and the precise prediction of capacity and cycle life. This review systematically summarizes the applications of machine learning (ML) in decoupling the complex structure‐activity relationships of lithium‐ion ...

Does the Application Flow Rate of Nutrient Solutions Prepared in Brackish Water Affect Coriander Production?

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flow rates for applying nutrient solutions in hydroponic systems are empirically known, yet uncertainties remain regarding whether brackish water affects the optimal flow rate and, consequently, biomass production and allocation. This study evaluated whether variations in application flow rate affect coriander biomass when brackish water is ...
