Does Participating in Agricultural Global Value Chains Promote Agricultural Growth?

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between GVC participation and agricultural value‐added growth in 43 countries over the period 1995–2022. In contrast to prior literature, we disaggregate the agricultural sector into four sub‐sectors namely crop cultivation, animal production, forestry and fishing.

Reconfiguring Fresh Produce Supply Chains in Response to Drought Risk: Evidence From the U.S. Broccoli Market

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most severe and persistent threats to food supply chains, and relocating production to less drought‐prone regions offers a strategy to reduce this risk. This is particularly relevant for fresh vegetables, which are highly water‐intensive, yet drought‐driven reconfiguration strategies remain understudied.

Blood-brain barrier disruption measured by albumin index correlates with inflammatory fluid biomarkers

open access: yesCerebral Circulation - Cognition and Behavior
Introduction: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is important in vascular cognitive impairment dementia (VCID) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). There are two methods uto measures BBB permeability: 1) the ratio of the concentration of albumin in blood to that in ...

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

open access: yesAgribusiness, 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 ...

Vertical Price Transmission in Food Markets: New Evidence From Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing body of empirical research has examined price dynamics along the food supply chain, yet findings remain heterogeneous and often conflicting. This study conducts a meta‐analysis of 140 studies, totaling 652 observations, to examine (1) the reported presence of asymmetric price transmission and (2) the reported direction of price ...

Diagnosing and Managing Paradoxical Deep Vein Thrombosis in a Patient With Congenital Afibrinogenemia

open access: yeseJHaem
Congenital afibrinogenemia, classically a bleeding disorder, can paradoxically predispose to thrombosis, potentially due to disruptions in fibrin‐mediated thrombin clearance and plasmin activation.

A Unifying Approach to Self‐Organizing Systems Interacting via Conservation Laws

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The article develops a unified way to model and analyze self‐organizing systems whose interactions are constrained by conservation laws. It represents physical/biological/engineered networks as graphs and builds projection operators (from incidence/cycle structure) that enforce those constraints and decompose network variables into constrained versus ...

Motion and Morphology Planning for Autonomous Manipulation in Clutter With a Shape‐Shifting, Variable‐Stiffness Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A hybrid mobile robot with a modular Variable‐Stiffness Bridge transitions between a rigid locomotion platform and a flexible, shape‐conforming body. By enclosing objects within its deformable structure rather than relying on dedicated end effectors, the robot achieves orientation‐regulated planar transport, with conformal contact quality shown to ...

Isolated Cranial Nerve VI Palsy in Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

open access: yesAnnals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis has many presentations and is known to cause optic neuropathies, but the mechanism of injury is usually related to mass effect from a space-occupying granuloma. In this case report, we present a patient with cranial nerve

Stochastic Locomotion Emerging From Body–Environment Interactions in a Mexican Jumping Bean–Inspired Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...
