A Dual‐Memory Ferroelectric Transistor Emulating Synaptic Metaplasticity for High‐Speed Reservoir Computing

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A CMOS‐compatible ferroelectric transistor harnesses the interplay between stable gate polarization memory and volatile non‐quasi‐static channel charge dynamics to emulate how biological synapses regulate their own plasticity. This brain‐inspired dual‐memory mechanism, realized in a single device, enables a physical reservoir computer that solves ...

Livestock Tango: U.S. and Latin America Dance Together, but Who Will Lead?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the competitiveness between Latin American and U.S. livestock and meat sectors. We employ a computable general equilibrium modeling framework to evaluate two scenarios: coordinated improvements in Latin American productivity, transport efficiency, and market access (Scenario I), and the minimum productivity gains required ...

ORGANIC POULTRY PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND MEAT CHARACTERISTICS [PDF]

, 2005
The effect of the organic poultry production system on some qualitative characteristics of the meat is reported. The effect is mainly due to the greater age and physical activity of animals but it is largely modulated by the farming protocols used e.i ...

Accounting for Substitution: Improving Estimates of GHG Reductions From Cattle‐Based Product Demand Shifts

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Estimates of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from lower demand for cattle‐based products must account for substitution effects. This study collected data through two surveys—one on ground beef and another on dairy milk—to evaluate substitution effects and potential GHG reductions.

Consumer Valuation of Meat Alternatives and Labeling Policies: A Comparative Perspective

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates and compares US consumer perceptions and the impact of environmental, human health, and animal welfare information related to conventional meat on preferences for meat alternatives and labeling policies. Using the best–worst scaling method across 10 different burger alternatives, our results show that the meat burger is

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The
