Information flow and the adoption of soil‐improving and water conservation measures, and household welfare: Insights from a randomized controlled trial in Uganda

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Extension services are designed to facilitate the flow of information from researchers to farmers. However, information failures continue to impede the diffusion of soil‐improving and water conservation technologies in Sub‐Saharan African countries. We use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the impact of an extension‐based campaign

Analytical Detection of Sulfonamides and Organophosphorus Insecticide Residues in Fish in Taiwan

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Exposure to residues of antibiotics (e.g., sulfonamides) and insecticides (e.g., organophosphorus insecticides) in aquacultured food can adversely affect humans and animals and thus affect public health globally.

The public agglomeration effect: Urban–rural divisions in government efficiency and political preferences

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Why and when do cities vote for the left? The emergence of the urban–rural divide in the United States in the 1930s is inconsistent with canonical theories of cleavages. This paper introduces an explanation: agglomeration effects. The provision of government services is more efficient in urban environments because of nonrivalries, economies of

Clinical Features of Cellular Senescence Pathways in Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
In bronchial biopsies, SASP and p53 pathway enrichment scores are elevated in severe asthma versus non‐severe asthma and healthy controls. SASP enrichment is validated in the independent NOVA cohort. SASP enrichment is also elevated in nasal brushings of participants with nasal polyps, independently of asthma status.

Phase coupling between eye and brain pulsations is bidirectional and modulated by the parasympathetic system – An fMREye study

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Physiological pulsations driven by cardiac, respiratory, and vasomotor activity are essential for solute transport within perivascular and perineural cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways that support brain and eye clearance systems. Previous studies have shown that parasympathetic blockade significantly reduces ocular pulsation power and

Shared and specific molecular mechanisms of proteasome inhibitors in chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neurotoxicity

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This study compares the molecular mechanisms of chemotherapy‐related peripheral neurotoxicity of two proteasome inhibitors, bortezomib and carfilzomib, using a multidisciplinary approach to reveal that, alongside shared effects on mitochondria structure and function, the more neurotoxic drug BTZ has specific effects on microtubules and mitochondrial ...
