Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.In this multicenter prospective study of 158 working‐age patients undergoing curative‐intent surgery for gastric or esophageal cancer, 78.5% were working at 18 months. Postoperative appetite loss, financial difficulties, and ≥ 10% weight loss at 6 months were associated with non‐working status.

The Interoperability Challenge in DFT Workflows Across Implementations
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Interoperability and cross‐validation remain major challenges in the computational materials science. In this work, we introduce a common input/output standard that enables internal translation across multiple workflow managers—AiiDA, PerQueue, Pipeline Pilot, and SimStack—while producing results in a unified schema.

Crystal Structure Prediction of Inorganic Materials: A Benchmark and Modern Evaluation
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Predicting a crystal’s structure from composition alone is a long‐standing challenge in materials discovery. The CSP180 benchmark of 180 inorganic crystals evaluates thirteen crystal structure prediction algorithms requiring no density functional theory (DFT) against DFT‐based baselines across twelve metrics.

Enterprise architecture for small and medium-sized enterprises
, 2012 Enterprise architecture (EA) is used as a holistic approach to keep things aligned in a company. Some emphasize the use of EA to align IT with the business, others see it broader and use it to also keep the processes aligned with the strategy. Although a lot of research is being done on EA, still hardly anything is known about its use in the context of
