Dry Bean Cocoa Production in Papua New Guinea: Do IPDM Inputs Pay Off?
ABSTRACT Cocoa is Papua New Guineaʼs (PNG) third‐largest agricultural export, supporting about two million smallholder farmers. Despite integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) systems to improve yields, adoption remains low. We surveyed two cocoa‐growing households—one near Balima (Madang Province) and the other near Manetai (Bougainville)—and ...

Thermal Transport Properties of W2TMB2 Solid Solutions (TM = Fe, Co, Ni)
Thermal transport properties of W2TMB2 (TM: Fe, Co, Ni) and their solid solutions, as well as electron backscatter diffraction measurements, show interesting particularities depending on the TM type and content. In this work, thermal transport properties of W2FexCo1‐xB2, W2FexNi1-xCoB2, and W2NixCo1‐xB2 (x: 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) were ...

Enhancing the accuracy of full‐arch digital implant impressions via segmentation: An in vitro study
Abstract Purpose The aim of this in vitro study was to assess whether the accuracy (trueness and precision) of full‐arch implant digital impressions can be improved by replacing standard digital impressions (StDIs) with segmented digital impressions (SgDIs), obtained by superimposing short‐span digital impressions using a geometric pattern.

The Integration of Norse‐Derived Terms in English: Effects of Formal Similarity1
Abstract Language change arising from language contact is a complex phenomenon. Peter Matthews encouraged researchers to consider it as firmly grounded in the behaviour of individual speakers. We apply this perspective to investigate the integration of Norse‐derived terms into medieval English, testing for the effect of their phonetic similarity to ...

This meta‐analysis on intraspecific variation in European trees studied the frequency of provenance variation, provenance–environment interaction, clinal variation along the climate of origin or transfer distance. While identifying trait group specific patterns of variation, research gaps have been identified in terms of age and geographical ...

Digital technologies are widely recognised as crucial for promoting the circular economy in industry. However, there still needs for clearer guidance for industrial practitioners on properly using digital technologies to support the implementation of the circular economy. Further efforts are needed to characterise such a relationship better.

ABSTRACT This investigation aims to develop a device that meets the specific requirements of energy‐intensive household cooking tasks, such as the nixtamalization process. In particular, a pot‐type biomass stove is designed and built. A computer‐aided design (CAD) model of the stove was created, followed by a metal prototype.

The Bilate subbasin in Ethiopia’s Rift Valley faces severe ecological degradation due to rapid land use and land cover (LULC) changes, requiring urgent research for sustainable management. Existing studies predominantly focus on net LULC changes, overlooking deeper transformation trends and their ecological implications.
