Farmers’ perceived pathways for further intensification of push-pull systems in Western Kenya
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023 Push-pull technology provides farmers in East Africa with an eco-friendly strategy that increases crop yield and household income in smallholder cereal systems by controlling pests and improving soil health. Though promising for a sustainably intensified

Coexistence of Pull and Push Communication in Wireless Access for IoT Devices [PDF]
International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless CommunicationsWe consider a setup with Internet of Things (IoT), where a base station (BS) collects data from nodes that use two different communication modes. The first is pull-based, where the BS retrieves the data from specific nodes through queries.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019 We study a fundamental strategic decision in baseball: when (if at all) to make the ``call to the bullpen'' and pull the starting pitcher. We first use a simple theoretical model to show that at the optimal time to pull the starter, the pitching change should yield a \emph{strict }improvement in current pitching quality (i.e., a strict decrease in runs

A pull versus push framework for reputation.
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2023 Reputation is a powerful driver of human behavior. Reputation systems incentivize 'actors' to take reputation-enhancing actions, and 'evaluators' to reward actors with positive reputations by preferentially cooperating with them.

An Investigation of Pull-Out Force of Semi-Buried Lotus Roots after Hydraulic Scouring
Agriculture, 2021 Hydraulic scouring is the most effective approach to harvest lotus roots, but its application is largely restricted by the low harvesting rate. After hydraulic scouring, some mature lotus roots are still partially buried in the soil.
