Protection Motivation Theory and Farmers' Participation in Futures Markets: Evidence From Germany

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines why German farmers show limited adoption of commodity futures contracts despite substantial price volatility, applying Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to understand the cognitive processes driving participation decisions in futures markets. Survey data from 303 German farmers collected in 2024 were analyzed using Partial

Contact Force Estimation in Human–Robot Collaboration: A Case Study on Heavyweight Robotic Manipulators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The method presented in this paper provides a practical sensorless solution for estimating both contact force and contact location using only standard joint encoders and an available robot dynamic model. By reformulating the contact estimation problem using a single scalar equivalent contact parameter, the approach enables fast and robust computation ...

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Neurophysiological Recovery Following Nerve Transfer Surgery to Restore Upper Limb Function after Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objectives Nerve transfer is a promising intervention for restoring hand and upper limb function after cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), but the timeline of neurophysiological recovery in humans remains unclear. This study aimed to define recovery profiles after nerve transfers to restore upper limb function.

Piezoelectric Nanocomposite Hydrogel for Wireless Neural Stimulation and Tissue Augmentation

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A cell/tissue supporting piezoelectric hydrogel system (PZ‐gel) that incorporates ferroelectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric ceramic material barium titanate into an alginate/carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogel. The PZ‐gel can be sonoactivated for wireless neural cell and tissue stimulation, with the potential to be used as a stimulatory cell substrate
