High‐Density and Scalable Graphene Hall Sensor Arrays Through Monolithic CMOS Integration

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This work explores strategies to create high‐density arrays of graphene Hall‐effect magnetic field sensors through monolithic integration with silicon CMOS biasing and multiplexing circuitry. High sensor yield and magnetic sensing performance are achieved through careful choices in the custom CMOS chip design and the graphene integration process.

Genotyping-by-sequencing of three mapping populations for identification of candidate genomic regions for resistance to sterility mosaic disease in pigeonpea

Scientific Reports, 2017
Sterility mosaic disease (SMD) is one of the serious production constraints that may lead to complete yield loss in pigeonpea. Three mapping populations including two recombinant inbred lines and one F2, were used for phenotyping for SMD resistance at ...

Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

Runoff Characteristics in semi-Arid Zone

PROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 1997
Runoff from semi-arid zone shows some distinct characteristics, for examples, rivers are ephemeral and channel losses are usually very arge. This paper makes clear these characteristics using the data of rainfall and runoff stations in semi-arid zone of Kenya.

Kenyan Farmers' Policy Priorities During Economic Crisis and Stability: Insights From a Best‐Worst Scaling Experiment

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid rising food and fertilizer prices, understanding farmers' policy preferences is critical for effective crisis response. We use best‐worst scaling experiment to assess Kenyan mobile‐owning crop farmers' preferences for government support under high and normal price scenarios.

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 ...

On the distribution, ecology and conservation status of three rare plant taxa Zygophyllum compressum, Elachanthus glaber and Eremophila crassifolia in southwestern New South Wales [PDF]

, 2010
The arid and semi-arid southwest of New South Wales has received disproportionately less attention from botanists than other similar-sized geographic regions of the state.

Biopolymer‐Coated Paper Composites for Sustainable Packaging

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional plastic packaging, though dominant in food and flexible applications, poses serious environmental concerns due to its persistence and limited recyclability. To address this challenge, this study develops bio‐based coated paper composites as sustainable alternatives. Paper, while biodegradable, lacks adequate barrier properties. To

Origin and distribution of the brachial plexus in the Spix's yellow-toothed cavy (Galea spixii Wagler, 1831) (Rodentia, Caviidae)

Veterinární Medicína, 2016
Due to the absence of literature on the brachial plexus in the Spix's yellow-toothed cavy, this study was conducted to examine the origin and neural distribution of this rodent's brachial plexus.
