Estimation of Import Demand Functions of Two Key Food and Feed Commodities (Corn and Soybean) for India

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The derived demand for the increased demand for meat and dairy products is clearly observed in the fast‐paced growth of the Indian feed industry and its increased demand for agricultural commodities (e.g., corn, soybean, rice, wheat, broken rice, millet, etc.) as feed ingredients.

Determination of low glucose level using smart copper(II)oxide 2D-microelectronic sensor

Results in Chemistry
Hypoglycemia is an episode associated with very low glucose levels, which can be life-threatening. While research on high glucose levels related to diabetes is common, targeted critical low glucose level detection has received less attention.

Food Security Strategy, Macroeconomic Dynamics and Food Import Sensitivity in Qatar

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Qatar has limited agricultural land and water resources and therefore remains highly dependent on food imports. This structural dependency makes Qatar vulnerable to external shocks such as the recent Gulf crisis, threatening food security and disrupting global supply chains. In response to previous shocks, Qatar started implementing a National

Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market
