Aging as a Loss of Goal‐Directedness: An Evolutionary Simulation and Analysis Unifying Regeneration with Anatomical Rejuvenation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The paper proposes that the root cause of aging is the loss of anatomical goal‐directedness after development. Using evolutionary neural cellular automata simulations, the authors show that after the organism has reached its developmental homeostatic setpoint (the adult morphology), the absence of target state to pursue leads to a drifting anatomical ...

A Review on the Energy Storage Mechanisms of Transition Metal Sulfide and Selenide Cathode Materials for Non‐Aqueous Aluminum Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Herein is reviewed the current state of research on transition metal sulfides and selenides (TMSs/TMSes) used as cathode materials for rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs). The three types of charge storage mechanisms encountered in these materials, as well as contradictions found in the literature, and future research pathways are discussed ...

A Scoping Review of Nudges for Enhancing Agricultural Policy

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following PRISMA guidelines, we conduct a scoping review on 18 empirical studies on nudging interventions for farmers in Europe and the USA. The evidence on the effectiveness of nudges is mixed. Some studies demonstrate positive outcomes, particularly when nudges are combined with other interventions; others report no effect or negative ...

Zero‐Valent Iron Nanoparticles Supported on Si/N Codoped Carbon Materials: From Biomass to Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalysts and Supercapacitors

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Zero‐valent iron nanoparticles on Si/N codoped carbon support are prepared from hydrothermal carbonization and pyrolysis of biomass, silica, and iron salt. The Fe nanoparticles are evenly distributed on the support and encapsulated in graphitic or iron oxide shells.

Volatility analysis and forecasting of vegetable prices using an ARMA‐GARCH model: An application of the CF filter and seasonal adjustment method to Korean green onions

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract The vegetable market experiences significant price fluctuations due to the complex interplay of trend, cyclical, seasonal, and irregular factors. This study takes Korean green onions as an example and employs the Christiano–Fitzgerald filter and the CensusX‐13 seasonal adjustment methods to decompose its price into four components: trend ...

Swedish farmers' approval of nudges

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Interest in the use of behavioral policy approaches, such as nudges, has strongly increased over the past years, including in the domains of food, agricultural and environmental policies. While the approval of nudges among the general public has been studied extensively, we know little about the attitude of farmers toward nudging. Farmers may (

Are all meats substitutes? A basket‐and‐expenditure‐based approach

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the relationship among animal‐based meat and plant‐based meat alternatives (PBMAs) using a basket‐and‐expenditure‐based choice experiment. In particular, we examine whether animal‐based meat products are substitutes or complements with PBMAs.
