The Hidden Costs of Coffee Production in the Eastern African Value Chains

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is increasing recognition that significant hidden costs associated with agrifood systems are not reflected in market prices. Coffee is among the three most traded agricultural commodities in the world and supports the livelihoods of more than 30 million smallholder households.

Separating manifolds in slow-fast systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
There are many applications that lead to models involving different timescales. For example, this is particularly the case for models of neurons, which involve dynamics of ionic channels across the cell membrane.

Quasi-Kahler Chern-flat manifolds and complex 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The study of quasi-Kaehler Chern-flat almost Hermitian manifolds is strictly related to the study of anti-bi-invariant almost complex Lie algebras.

Achieve Sustainability by Easing Population to 4 Billion by 2200

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The past century of massive increases in human population and resource use has seen many undesirable environmental effects, ranging from biodiversity loss to climate change. But a research gap exists, as the ultimate causes are often not described with precision or mentioned at all.

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Estimating large carnivore populations in an arid fenced reserve using spatial capture–recapture modelling

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In fenced protected areas where large carnivore populations persist or have been restored through reintroduction, population monitoring is essential to inform management. Robust density estimates are particularly important given the strong influence of large carnivores on ecosystem processes, yet such data remain scarce for arid systems where ...

A General Type of Almost Contact Manifolds [PDF]

open access: yes
Among almost contact manifolds Sasakian manifolds, Kenmotsu manifolds (called also “a certain class of almost contact manifolds”) and cosymplectic manifolds have been studied by many authors.

Kahler manifolds and their relatives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Let M1 and M2 be two K¨ahler manifolds. We call M1 and M2 relatives if they share a non-trivial K¨ahler submanifold S, namely, if there exist two holomorphic and isometric immersions (K¨ahler immersions) h1 : S → M1 and h2 : S → M2. Moreover, two K¨ahler

On Subcritically Stein Fillable 5-manifolds

open access: yes, 2018
We make some elementary observations concerning subcritically Stein fillable contact structures on 5-manifolds. Specifically, we determine the diffeomorphism type of such contact manifolds in the case where the fundamental group is finite cyclic, and we ...
