Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: Are Climate-Smart Practices Important in Burkina Faso? [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT In Burkina Faso, smallholder farmers rely heavily on rain‐fed agriculture, which is affected by climate change. The adoption of climate‐smart practices is essential to strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change and improve household food security and, consequently, global food security.

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Exploration of the parameter space of piecewise omnigenous stellarator magnetic fields

Nuclear Fusion
Piecewise omnigenous fields are stellarator magnetic fields that are optimized with respect to radial neoclassical transport thanks to a second adiabatic invariant that is piecewisely constant on the flux-surface.

How Can Accountants Enhance (or Save) Natural and Cultural Capital Valuation? Engaging Academics: A Collaboration with CPA Canada and the Canadian Commission for UNESCO*

Accounting Perspectives, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 21-46, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Accountants should engage more with natural and cultural capital accounting to make tools more accessible and to ensure critical information is provided to decision‐makers. While ecological economists have continued to innovate and design tools, corporate‐level accounting has seemingly lagged behind.

Anisotropic distribution of alpha particles in a tokamak reactor

Nuclear Fusion
We carried out systematic study of neoclassical equilibrium distribution of α particles born from deuterium–tritium nuclear fusion in a tokamak reactor. The distribution in the phase space is visualized in various 2D planes. We studied a previously known

Neoclassical transport of toroidal momentum in tokamaks

Physical Review Letters, 1990
La presence d'une concentration moderee (∼10%) d'ions de basses energies en exces par rapport a la distribution maxwellienne provoque un changement dramatique dans la prediction neoclassique du transport de la quantite de mouvement, conduisant a un accord en magnitude avec l ...

CEO's Early‐life Experience of Disasters and Corporate Environmental Performance

Abacus, EarlyView.
We investigate the nexus between the early‐life disaster experiences of chief executive officers (CEOs) and their firms’ environmental performance metrics. We hypothesize that first‐hand experience of the adversities of natural disasters in the formative years of a CEO can catalyze a transformation in their environmental cognizance and perspective ...

Rethinking the contract‐failure theory

American Business Law Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The contract‐failure theory posits that the nonprofit form can be an indicator of high product quality because the nondistribution constraint reduces the nonprofit manager's financial benefits from cheating. This would give nonprofits an advantage over for‐profit firms when consumers cannot determine product quality and thus explains ...

Tokamak edge-SOL turbulence in H-mode conditions simulated with a global, electromagnetic, transcollisional drift-fluid model

Nuclear Fusion
The design of commercially feasible magnetic confinement fusion reactors strongly relies on the reduced turbulent transport in the plasma edge during operation in the high confinement mode (H-mode).

How did Japan catch‐up with the West? Some implications of recent revisions to Japan's historical growth record

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Revised GDP data suggest that Japan was more than one‐third richer in 1874 than suggested by Maddison, and that Meiji period growth built on earlier development. Despite trend GDP per capita growth during the Tokugawa Shogunate, the catching‐up process only started after 1890 with respect to Britain, and after World War I with respect to the ...
