Abstract:
... Global climate warming has drawn worldwide attention. However, the health impact of heat exposure is still controversial. This study aimed to explore the exact effects and sex differential vulnerability under intermittent heat exposure (IHE) patterns and tried to elucidate the potential mechanisms by which IHE modulated hepatic lipid and glucose homeostasis. Both female and male C57BL/6 N mice wer ...
... 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 ...
... The interactions of branches in relation to the transports of IAA export activity (IEA) were studied in pea plants of the semidwarf cv. Adagumsky having a strong apical dominance (AD) and the dwarf cv. Porta with a weakened AD. In a model system of two-branched seedlings, the branches of cv. Adagumsky competitively suppressed the growth and IEA of each other, but that is not the case with cv. Port ...

Abstract:
... The shrimp industry in Bangladesh is an important economic sector with growing demand, export potential, and employment opportunities. However, the industry is threatened by external and local production and market risks. Risk management strategies can be implemented through farming systems modification developing of different types of shrimp and prawn-based systems, although the adaptive capacity ...
... In this paper, we investigated the extent to which the accession to the EU has had an effect on increasing the variety of exports of agri-food categories for two Eastern European countries, namely Romania and Bulgaria. We also assessed the impact of changes in the variety of exports of agri-food categories on the dynamics of the volume of exports of agri-food products for these two countries and u ...
... Export restrictions often exacerbate the direct production losses and control costs from infectious animal disease outbreaks by reducing the pool of consumers of animal products. However, the uncertain timing and the varying extent of the trade restrictions make it challenging to measure these indirect costs of disease outbreaks. We examine two outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (2004 ...

Abstract:
... NPC1 plays a central role in cholesterol egress from endolysosomes, a critical step for maintaining intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. Despite recent advances in the field, the full repertoire of molecules and pathways involved in this process remains unknown. Emerging evidence suggests the existence of NPC1‐independent, alternative routes. These may involve vesicular and non‐vesicular mechani ...

Abstract:
... The global supply of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is sourced from a handful of dense overflows. Observations from the Weddell Sea indicate that the overflow there exhibits prominent oscillations accompanied by dense eddies, while the Ross Sea overflow shows no significant oscillations other than tides, yet the genesis of these oscillations and their role in mediating AABW export remain poorly und ...
... An entirely different mechanism and localization were recently proposed for the COPII coat complex, challenging its well‐accepted function to select and concentrate cargo into small COPII‐coated spherical transport vesicles. Instead, the COPII complex is suggested to form a dynamic yet stationary collar that forms a boundary between the ER and the ER export membrane domain. This membrane domain, t ...

Abstract:
... The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has promoted economic growth of participating countries while giving rise to profound environmental consequences. To steer the BRI towards a low-carbon and green development, it is necessary to analyze past trajectories and future trends of BRI's CO₂ emissions. To this end, we assess the patterns and determinants of emission flows along the BRI during 2005–2030 u ...

Abstract:
... Based on research about Cambodia's rice sector, this article explains how an emerging Chinese food regime contributes to local agrarian transitions. It argues that Chinese-Cambodian trade deals for jasmine rice, alongside Chinese investment in rice mills and irrigation, have intersected with pre-existing relations of production to make farmers' dependence on export commodity markets more precariou ...

Abstract:
... The empirical finding that countries endowed with vast reserves of natural resources are expected to experience slower economic growth – the resource curse hypothesis – has sparked debate in the literature about whether natural resources are a curse or a boon. In this study, we re-investigate the natural resource, corruption and growth nexus by using a relatively longer dataset for a panel of coun ...

Abstract:
... This paper explores the role of contract farming arrangements in agricultural intensification in sub‐Saharan Africa, combining secondary literature and original case material from Mozambique. The paper extends the scope of “contract farming” beyond the formal contracts between large companies and small‐scale producers to include less formal credit agreements between farmers and traders. It argues ...

Abstract:
... Forest certification as a typical green trade measure has been gradually adopted by developed countries. Although it can promote the upgrading of forest products’ trade structure, it also threatens the stability of export growth. However, most studies have focused on the impact of forest certification on the total volume of forest product exports, but less on the impact on the growth structure. Th ...

Abstract:
... The detection of Lingwu long jujubes in a natural environment is of great significance for robotic picking. Therefore, a lightweight network of target detection based on the SSD (single shot multi-box detector) is presented to meet the requirements of a low computational complexity and enhanced precision. Traditional object detection methods need to load pre-trained weights, cannot change the netw ...

... This study quantifies the impact of financial inclusion and export diversification in attaining the target of green growth for SAARC economies during the period 2000 to 2019. For the analysis purpose, this study employed second-generation econometric techniques that deal with heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence issues. To this end, CUP-FM and CUP-BC are used to investigate the long-run dy ...

Abstract:
... Global value chain (GVC) participation has played a significant role in boosting the trade gains of both developed and developing seafood-exporting countries over the past three decades. In addition, the extent of GVC participation has become the most important platform for addressing gains from trade in developing seafood-exporting countries to ensure that their participation enhances economic gr ...

... Biodiversity loss is a major issue internationally and within Australia, with major restoration efforts to recover native biota focussing on agricultural landscapes. We introduce a free new webtool, BirdCast [https://sustfarm.shinyapps.io/BirdCast/], for estimating the primarily native bird biodiversity in Box Gum Grassy Woodlands within the NSW South Western Slopes bioregion. The tool has potenti ...

How to improve the export vitality and corporate image of polluting enterprises? Different from the existing studies, this paper focuses on green merger and acquisition (green M&A) of polluting enterprises which can quickly obtain clean enterprise resources, and compares the ...

Abstract:
... Implementation of CBAM to support EU climate neutrality by 2050 has raised several concerns. As the mechanism aims to minimise leakage through equal fairness in global mitigation, imposing carbon tariffs on the EU’s imports of energy-intensive goods could curtail the export of EU trading partners. This might be detrimental, especially to the LDCs, due to their high exposures and vulnerability risk ...
