Study of Resistive Switching Dynamics and Memory States Equilibria in Analog Filamentary Conductive‐Metal‐Oxide/HfOx ReRAM via Compact Modeling

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A physics‐based compact model for Conductive‐Metal‐Oxide/HfOx ReRAM, accounting for ion dynamics, electronic conduction, and thermal effects, is presented. Accurate and versatile simulations of analog non‐volatile conductance modulation and memory state stabilization enable reliable circuit‐level studies, advancing the optimization of neuromorphic and ...

The Effects of Mild Dehydration on Cycling Performance in the Heat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Introduction: Hypohydration exceeding 2% of body mass (bm), affected by heat and thirst level, leads to decreased athletic performance. Both physiological and psychological factors of dehydration have an impact on an athlete’s perceived performance ...

How Does Cultural and Colonial Heritage Affect Optimal Branding Strategies? Evidence From the Rice Sector in Senegal

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Africa's cultural and colonial heritage has profoundly segmented rice markets. Whereas in ancient centers of rice domestication, consumers maintained preferences for local rice consistent with their cultural heritage, preferences have shifted toward imported Asian rice in coastal areas around seaports, due to prior exposure to colonial import ...

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

The Role of Certifications in Improving Household Food Security Among Peruvian Farmers

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving global food security requires sustainable transformations in agri‐food systems. Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) such as Organic and Fairtrade aim to internalize certain social and environmental costs while promoting more equitable value distribution, improved market access, and sustainable production practices.
