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

Agribusiness, 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.

Deforestation and Efficiency: Insights From Forest Transition in the Brazilian Cerrado

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper estimates technical efficiency (TE) and environmental efficiency (EE) of agricultural production at the municipal level of the Brazilian Cerrado in 2006 and 2017, and investigates their underlying mechanisms in relation to forest transition theory.

Surgical Outcomes of Sequential Robot‐Assisted Hepatobiliary–Pancreatic Surgery in a Single Operating Room: A Single‐Center Retrospective Analysis of a High‐Volume Center in Japan (TAKUMI‐6)

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the surgical outcomes of sequential robot‐assisted hepatobiliary–pancreatic (HBP) in a single operating room. The outcomes and operating room timelines were comparable between the first and second cases. The median turnover time was 49 min, and the day‐shift completion success rate was 34.4%.

Alcohol Consumption Is a Risk Factor of Surgical Site Infection After Minimally Invasive Surgery: A Secondary Observational Analysis of a Clinical Trial

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Alcohol consumption was independently associated with Surgical Site Infection in the gastroenterological Minimally Invasive Surgery. Whether preoperative abstinence from alcohol prevents the occurrence of SSI warrants further investigation. ABSTRACT Background Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the postoperative complications. Risk factors for SSI

Haptic In‐Sensor Computing Device Based on CNT/PDMS Nanocomposite Physical Reservoir

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Using a porous carbon nanotube‐polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposite, a sensor array integrated with a physical reservoir computing paradigm capable of in‐sensor computing is demonstrated. The device is able to classify between nine objects with an accuracy above 80%, opening the possibility for low‐power sensing/computing for future robotics.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

The role of venture‐financed startups in innovation for US agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract To evaluate the role played by startup companies in the innovation ecosystem of US agriculture, we compile a unique dataset of 6024 new entrants founded 1987–2019 that details their financing lifecycles, annual economic performance, and patenting activities.

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 ...
