U.S. Consumer Preferences for Cage‐Free Eggs and Hen Housing Policies

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm animal welfare (FAW) continues to be a divisive issue in the egg industry. In the United States, 10 states and most major retailers have implemented policies or voluntary pledges to transition to 100% cage‐free egg sales. We use best‐worst scaling and discrete choice experiments to evaluate U.S.

A Novel Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide Channel‐Based Electrochemical Field Effect Transistor for Physical Reservoir Computing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A novel EcFET with an indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) channel is proposed for physical reservoir computing. It modulates oxygen vacancies via electrochemical redox reactions by electric field‐driven ion injection/extraction. The device enables threshold voltage and conductance control, exhibiting nonlinear weight updates and short‐term memory due to ...

Elucidation of the genetic determination of body weight and size in Chinese local chicken breeds by large-scale genomic analyses

BMC Genomics
Background Body weight and size are important economic traits in chickens. While many growth-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes have been identified, further research is needed to confirm and characterize these findings.
