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

Agribusiness, 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 ...

Resonant Dative Bonds

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Dative bonds are an integral, albeit underappreciated, part of the theory of chemical bonds. In their resonant form they can bring a surprising stability to a novel family of rings with multiple hyper/hypo‐valent elements. Abstract The dative bond is an often underappreciated entity in the theory of chemical interactions, despite its explanatory and ...

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

Agribusiness, 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.

Unexpectedly High Incidence of Immune‐Related Adverse Events in Gastric Cancer Patients Who Received Conversion Surgery After Nivolumab‐Including Chemotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nivolumab‐including chemotherapy (nivo‐CTX) for stage IV gastric cancer (GC) may increase the chance of conversion surgery but risk of immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) during perioperative period remains unclear. Methods We examined irAEs in 36 patients with marginally resectable GC who received nivo‐CTX followed by surgery ...

Energy‐Efficient Knapsack Optimization Using Probabilistic Memristor Crossbars

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The knapsack problem, a nondeterministic polynomial‐time (NP)‐hard combinatorial optimization problem, is solved energy‐efficiently. This work presents an algorithm‐hardware co‐design and implementation for practical (non‐ideal) NP‐hard problems with destabilizing self‐feedback (non‐zero diagonal) and non‐binary Hamiltonian representations under analog
