Price Transmission and Leadership in the Global Poultry Market: Results From Parametric and Nonparametric Approaches

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazil and the United States account for more than 40% of global poultry exports, with China and South Korea among their major destination markets. This study examines price transmission and market linkages between Brazil and the United States using monthly poultry export price data from January 1990 to December 2024. It also assesses which of

Hardware‐Based On‐Chip Learning Using a Ferroelectric AND‐Type Array With Random Synaptic Weights

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates an energy‐efficient on‐chip learning system using an Metal‐Ferroelectric‐Insulator‐Semiconductor FeAND synaptic array. By employing a feedback alignment scheme with a separate backward array using fixed random weights, the system overcomes directional limitations of AND‐type arrays and achieves robust, low‐power learning suitable

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

The Herfindahl neutral point: A firm‐level threshold for managing market concentration with evidence from US hog packing

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper derives a firm‐level threshold, the Herfindahl Neutral Point, from the standard concentration index used in merger review. At this threshold, a marginal expansion leaves the index unchanged. Firms below the threshold reduce concentration when they expand; firms above it increase concentration.

The Legislation for Providing Animal Access in Australian Residential Aged Care: It's Not a Zoo

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Providing meaningful animal contact to residential aged care facility (RACF) residents is problematic due to a lack of animal policies and National Guidelines. This paper examines how Australian Legislation could influence access to animal contact in RACFs and aims to answer the question, ‘Could current Legislation facilitate the development ...

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

Dental crown morphological variation and heterodonty in carcharhiniform sharks

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Elasmobranch teeth are highly mineralized structures that constitute the majority of the fossil record for this group. Despite their taxonomic and evolutionary significance, detailed descriptions of dental morphology remain scarce. The order Carcharhiniformes, the most diverse among sharks, comprises 304 valid species that display remarkable ...
