Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Africa's cultural and colonial heritage has profoundly segmented rice markets. Whereas in ancient centers of rice domestication, consumers maintained preferences for local rice consistent with their cultural heritage, preferences have shifted toward imported Asian rice in coastal areas around seaports, due to prior exposure to colonial import ...

A Medical Centrifuge System Based on the Switched Reluctance Motor
Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi, 2018 A prototype medical centrifuge system based on switched reluctance motors (SRMs) is designed and realized in this study. Although medical centrifuge systems use asynchronous motors or motor structures with permanent magnets in general, an SRM had many ...

Access to Finance and Innovation in the Canadian Food Processing
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Innovation is a presumed channel through which finance affects productivity, yet there is limited research testing the relationship between finance and innovation in the food manufacturing sector. The purpose of the paper is to explore the determinants (e.g., financing, R&D, firm size, expenditure on innovation) of the adoption of innovation ...

AC/DC current ratio in a current superimposition variable flux reluctance machine
Open Physics, 2018 We have proposed a current superimposition variable flux reluctance machine for traction motors. The torque-speed characteristics of this machine can be controlled by increasing or decreasing the DC current.

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.
