The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

A generalized reciprocal theorem for predicting the force and torque on bodies moving in an unhomogeneous flow at arbitrary reynolds number [PDF]
We present the main ideas behind the derivation and some applications of a theorem that parallels Lorentz’s reciprocal theorem and provides general expressions for the force and torque acting on a rigid body of arbitrary shape moving in an inhomogeneous ...

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.An AI‐enabled micromixing framework is developed by integrating cGAN with Bayesian optimization for predictive control of microrobot‐driven flow manipulation. Through this framework, the spatiotemporal evolution of micromixing is learned directly from experimental images, while rapid identification of optimized microrobot actuation strategies is ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents an integrated proof‐of‐concept robotic platform for targeted delivery applications. A hybrid magnetic actuation system achieves single‐input (z) multistate stabilization (x, y, ϕ, and θ) for precise capsule transport with submillimeter positioning accuracy.
