Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

Young children's perspectives of time: New directions for co‐constructing understandings of quality in ECEC

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Children's relationship with time in preschools is an under‐researched area. Young children rarely know how to measure time using a clock, but their experiences of time may contribute to understanding children's well‐being and debates about quality in preschools.

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Predictive Registry Optimization of Molecular Adsorbates on Solid Surfaces

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Local C–H “spikes” from a π‐conjugated backbone lock into graphene “pockets”. A geometric registry score turns images obtained by scanning tunneling microscopy at the solid/liquid interface into atomic‐scale adsorption models, enabling assignment of surface atropisomers in large π‐conjugated molecules.

Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Anisotropic NMR as a Crucial Tool for Differentiation of Epimers With High Conformational Flexibility

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Epimer discrimination remains challenging due to subtle NMR differences. Here, we propose a methodology based on 13C‐RCSA and RDC anisotropic parameters, enabling the assignment of two flexible tetraprenyltoluquinol epimers (1a and 1b) with remote stereoclusters.

Amidase‐Catalyzed Desorption of CO2 Captured in Aqueous Monoethanolamine (MEA) Solutions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
CO2 is captured in aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) sorbents as carbamate and bicarbonate/carbonate. The subsequent desorption for storage or utilization is energy‐intensive, and this is a major impediment to industrial carbon dioxide removal (CDR) processes. The desorption process can be promoted by enzymes that catalyze the dissociation of distinct CO2‐

A pastoral evaluation and responses to the challenge of spiritual insecurity in African pastoral ministry and Christianity

Verbum et Ecclesia, 2017
This article argues that there is a form of Christian syncretism operating in African Christians use of traditional African powers to address their spiritual insecurity challenges that arises from their former traditional African worldview of spiritual ...

The Insistence of Blackness and the Persistence of Antiblackness in Ireland

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper positions Ireland as a critical site for examining the insistence of blackness and an antiblackness created and sustained through Irish ethnonationalist imaginaries and exclusionary processes. Drawing on connected sociologies and Irish Black Studies, this enquiry argues that antiblackness in Ireland operates as a generational force,

1,7‐Digallatetracarborane: Between Nucleophilic closo‐Cluster and “Inverse Sandwich” Digallylene

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A dianionic π‐ligand is used to make a Janus‐type twofold complex with low‐valent gallium Ga(+I). The resulting compound can be seen as and reveals the reactivity of both: a Wade‐type closo‐carborane cluster with nucleophilic Ga‐sites, as well as π‐ligand stabilized Ga(I) atoms in an inverse sandwich compound.
