Firm turnover under asymmetric information: Tanzania's agro‐dealer sector

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We study firm turnover (i.e., entry and exit) and its consumer implications in a market characterized by asymmetric information. Using a three‐round census of agro‐dealers in Tanzania's Morogoro Region, we document annual firm entry and exit rates of 33% and 17%, respectively.

Composition‐Tunable Lignocellulosic Aerogels From Eucalyptus spp. Bark for Oil and Cu2+ Adsorption

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Composition‐tunable lignocellulosic aerogels are produced from Eucalyptus spp. bark by combining cellulose, lignin, and microfibrillated cellulose without post‐synthetic functionalization. The resulting porous architectures show contaminant‐dependent performance: CEL favors cooking‐oil uptake, CEL‐M favors pump‐oil uptake, and CEL‐L‐M provides the ...

Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) pulp oil ethylic biodiesel using lipase from Aspergillus oryzae: kinetic and process parameters

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata), a native species from Brazilian biomes, has emerged as a sustainable alternative to vegetable oil production. Its fruit presents high oil yield (3–6 ton/ha), extracted from its kernel and pulp. While the kernel is suitable for food and cosmetics application, the pulp oil has been considered as a promising ...
