How Video‐Based Information Affects Farmers' Willingness to Pay for Drone Services

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Professional service for digital technology like agricultural drones lowers transaction costs and scope thresholds for smallholders. Meanwhile, perceptual adoption barriers remain underexplored. We conduct a two‐stage choice experiment with a randomized video‐based information treatment among 384 Chinese crop farmers to measure its effect on ...

How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Pd/C‐Catalyzed Hydrogenation of CF3‐, CF2H‐, and CF2CO2Et‐containing Pyridines: A Robust Method for Highly Functionalized containing Piperidines

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A robust and efficient method to access diversely functionalized fluorinated piperidines was developed. The approach features the hydrogenation of polysubstituted pyridines bearing CF3, CF2H, and CF2CO2Et substituents using an inexpensive, readily available heterogeneous Pd/C catalyst under air‐ and moisture‐tolerant conditions, offering an appealing ...

Redirecting Excited‐State Proton Transfer Through Supramolecular Polymerization in Nanoconfinement

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Supramolecular confinement redirects the excited‐state proton transfer pathway of an amphoteric emitter. In water, the molecule undergoes ESPD, whereas co‐assembly with γ‐cyclodextrin forms nanotubes that template slip‐stacked emitter pairs and enable ESIMPT. Structural and photophysical characterization of the assemblies shows that the preorganization
