Abstract:
... A near-real-time (NRT) aerosol forecast and diagnostic approach is developed based on the system of Infusing satellite Data into Environmental Applications for East Asia, herein denoted as IDEA-EA. The design incorporates a 0.5-degree Global Forecast System (GFS) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aerosol and cloud retrievals for meteorological and remote sensing inputs. The pri ...

Abstract:
... Following the trend of green product consumption, farmers’ markets sell green products and have gradually developed the promotion of environmentally friendly knowledge of food and agricultural education. However, past research on farmers’ markets has rarely been combined with the function of food and agricultural education. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between product knowledge, ...

Abstract:
... Using firm-level transaction data from Taiwan, this study shows that firms that engage in exports alone and import intermediate inputs significantly increase the probability of their survival compared to firms that engage in no external trade. Extending current studies, this study shows that multiproduct and multicountry trading firms are more likely to survive by becoming “leaner and meaner” and ...

Abstract:
... Non‐photosynthetic plants dependent on fungi have long fascinated botanists and mycologists. The genus Gastrodia (Orchidaceae) contains more than 100 achlorophyllous species, including some species recently discovered in Japan and Taiwan which produce only closed self‐pollinating flowers. To date, Gastrodia is probably the only genus containing species with only closed flowers, which has been veri ...
