Negotiating the Democratic Paradox: Approaches Drawn From Governance Efforts on Yellowstone River

Frontiers in Communication, 2019
We analyze perspectives on watershed governance articulated by community leaders along the Yellowstone River (Montana, U. S. A.). These leaders framed watershed governance as a process of negotiating tensions between individual rights and equality for ...

Is There a Market for Organic Milk in Serbia? Insights From Integrated Choice and Latent Variable Model

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Past growth in the global organic market has been concentrated in high‐income countries, while in middle‐income countries such as Serbia the organic market remains nascent and characterized by a sparse assortment of organic products, high retail premia and limited evidence on consumer preferences and their drivers.

Blockchain‐Based Smart Contracts in US Specialty Crop Marketing: Grower Preferences and Adoption Potential

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using survey and discrete choice experiment data, we examined US specialty crop growers' preferences for marketing contract attributes in the context of emerging blockchain‐based technologies and expanding traceability initiatives. Results show that farmers preferred traditional written contracts but might be willing to accept digital ...

Negotiating with Iran

American Journal of Islam and Society, 2010
In his preface to this book, Mark Bowden states that John Limbert is “the best American friend Iran had” (p. ix) and that the United States is “not a nineteenth-century-style imperial power bent on colonizing smaller nations.” Thus, Iranian suspicions of

Not All Agreements Are Equal: Heterogeneous Effects of RTAs on Latin American Agri‐Food Exports, 1990–2019

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the final decade of the 20th century, Latin American countries have increasingly regarded the signing of regional trade agreements (RTAs) as a promising strategy for expanding their exports. Within this context, the main objective of this study is to assess the impact of RTAs on agri‐food exports in Latin America over the period 1990 ...

The Influence of Common Language on the Trade of Wheat and Bakery Products

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether sharing a common official language increases the probability that two countries engage in bilateral trade of wheat and bakery products. Using a binary choice framework applied to 54,780 country‐pair observations for 2023, probit and logit models of the extensive margin of trade are estimated, with a focus on whether

CFD modeling and sensitivity‐guided design of silicon filament CVD reactors

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Filament‐based chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for silicon (Si) coatings is often treated as an adaptation of planar deposition. But this overlooks fundamental shifts in transport phenomena and reaction kinetics. In filament CVD, the filament acts as a substrate, heat source, and flow disruptor simultaneously. In this work, we ask: What really

Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

Towards Advanced Intelligent and Perceptive Soft Grippers

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Implementing soft yet strong and intelligent soft grippers request innovative and creative solutions in designing soft bodies and seamlessly integrating actuated systems with hierarchical sensing. This review systematically analyses soft grippers with a deep understanding of core components, from fundamental design principles to actuation and sensing ...
