An Analysis of the Impacts of Weather on Technical Efficiency in Czech Agriculture
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2015 Although weather is a significant determinant of agricultural production, it is not a common practice when analysing production to control for its impact. The problem is methodological, since it is difficult to find a proper proxy variable for weather in

Nanodiamond Quantum Sensors for Probing Free Radical Biology
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Free radicals play key roles in cellular signaling and disease but remain difficult to measure in living systems. Nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers enable quantum sensing of local magnetic noise via T₁ relaxometry, providing nondestructive radical detection in living cells.
