The spatial patterns in long-term temporal trends of three major crops’ yields in Japan
Plant Production Science, 2018 Long-term trend of crop yields has been widely studied in global scales to find which crops and which geographic regions offer the best hope of meeting food demands, and which regions needed the most improvements. In this study, a mathematical method was

The Bitter Taste of Brazil's Temporary Import Ban on Robusta Coffee
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Brazil, a leading Robusta coffee producer and exporter, faced a significant drought in 2016–2017, which drastically reduced production and depleted stocks. Consequently, Brazil temporarily permitted the import of one million 60‐kg bags of Robusta coffee in the spring 2017. An import ban was imposed shortly afterward due to lobbying by domestic

Regulating Airflow Using Hybrid LCN for Soft Pneumatic Circuits
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.To address more autonomous soft robots with embodied control and regulation systems, herein, a liquid crystal network‐based fluid regulator that can be manipulated through multiphysical stimuli is proposed. Aided by finite element modeling for thermal actuation, regulators are designed and incorporated into fluidic circuits and demonstrate that they ...

Numerical Investigation of Nonisothermal Reversed Stagnation-point Flow [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 This thesis investigates the nature of the development of two-dimensional laminar nonisothermal flow of an incompressible fluid close to the reversed stagnation-point. Proudman and Johnson (1962) \cite{proudman1962boundary} first studied the flow and obtained an asymptotic solution by neglecting the viscous terms. This is not practice in neglecting the
