Abstract:
... This article investigates price relationships in the Russian meat markets in 2011–2017. We use vector autoregression specifications to predict the transmission between consumer, producer, and import prices in the Russian pork, beef, and poultry markets. We consider the possible effects of substitution (between domestic product and import as well as between products in domestic markets), market pro ...

Abstract:
... Mutations in PINK1 cause autosomal-recessive Parkinson’s disease. Mitochondrial damage results in PINK1 import arrest on the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) complex, resulting in the activation of its ubiquitin kinase activity by autophosphorylation and initiation of Parkin-dependent mitochondrial clearance. Herein, we report crystal structures of the entire cytosolic domain ...

Abstract:
... When do multinationals show resilience during natural disasters? To answer this, we develop a simple model in which foreign multinationals and local firms in the host country are interacted through input-output linkages. When natural disasters seriously hit local firms and thus increase the cost of sourcing local intermediate inputs, most multinationals may leave the host country. However, they ar ...

Abstract:
... Currently, many scholars have researched distributed energy systems (DES) from different dimensions. However, the load forecasting on both source-side and load-side, the optimal design of DES, and the multi-attribute decision making need further research. Therefore, a novel DES combining solar photovoltaic and hybrid energy storage is proposed. Combining the Monte Carlo method and improved K-means ...

Abstract:
... Australia has experienced a significant increase in seafood imports over the past two decades. Concurrently, Australian seafood producers have raised concerns that the low market prices of imported fish may negatively affect the prices of domestically produced seafood and, subsequently, the profitability of the Australian fishing industries. To validate this concern, this study examines the relati ...

Abstract:
... Carotenoids play an import role as one of the most prevalent pigments in animals. Carotenoid-based coloration accounts for striking sexually and naturally selected colour adaptations. Several anurans (frogs and toads) change body coloration either slowly and permanently between life stages (ontogenetic colour change), or rapidly and temporarily within minutes or hours (dynamic colour change).

It is challenging to disentangle the legal and illegal aspects of wild-caught animals that are traded in wildlife markets or online, and this may diminish the value of conducting wildlife trade surveys. We present empirical studies on the trade in birds (ducks, owls, songbirds, non-passerines) in Indonesia (2005 to 2021). Based on visits to wildlife markets, wholesale traders, and monitoring of an ...
