... 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:
... The properties of osseointegration and antibacterial ability is vital import for dental materials. Herein, we designed the multilayer TC4–Ag–polydopamine coatings, to provide TC4 with slow-release antibacterial properties whilst maintaining cytocompatibility. In brief, thickness of Ag inner layer can be easily controlled by magnetron sputtering technology. The resulting top polydopamine layer prot ...

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:
... The wood lemming (Myopus schisticolor, Lilljeborg 1844) is the only extant species of Myopus, and its closest relatives are found in the genus of the true lemmings (Lemmus). The range of the wood lemming, which is considered a monotypic species, stretches from the Fennoscandian Peninsula through Northern and Central Russia to the Pacific Coast of the Russian Far East. Historically, there have been ...

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:
... Sharp bends in the Lower Yellow River (LYR) remain highly active under the intensive river regulation works, threatening the safety of levees and riparian villages. Based on remote sensing images and hydrological data, the evolution processes of sharp bends in the LYR were quantitatively investigated. A total of 16 sharp bends were identified during the period 1972–2019 and some of these bends wer ...

Abstract:
... Hydricity is of great import as hydride transfer reactions are prominent in many processes, including organic synthesis, photoelectrocatalysis, and hydrogen activation. Herein, the kinetic hydricity of a series of silanes is examined in the gas phase. Most of these reactions have not heretofore been studied in vacuo and provide valuable data that can be compared to condensed-phase hydricity, to re ...

Abstract:
... Agricultural biosecurity interventions are aimed at minimizing introductions of harmful non‐native organisms to new areas via agricultural trade. To prioritize such interventions, historical data on interceptions have been used to elucidate which factors determine the likelihood that a particular import is carrying a harmful organism. Here we use an interception data set of arthropod contaminants ...

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). We i ...

Abstract:
... 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 ...

... This paper tested the relation among macroeconomic variables such as economic growth, current account balance, energy imports and non-economic variable as militarization for the selected countries by employing Markov Switching-Bayesian Vector Auto Regressive approach for China, Israel and South Korea. These countries have high rate of export and import of weapons, the current account surplus, and ...

Abstract:
... Following the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the forest industry sector now combines cutting-edge technology with other industries. Hence, the Special Classification for the Forest Industry was established to clearly define the scope of the forest industry. Therefore, we reclassify the 2018 input-output table of the Bank of Korea based on the Special Classification of the Forest Industry. Specifica ...

Abstract:
... The sediment exchange between the Dutch Wadden Sea and the North Sea coastal zone is of key importance to Dutch coastal management. Net sediment import from the coastal zone to the Wadden Sea results in coastal erosion which needs to be compensated through nourishments. At the same time net sediment import is the source of sediment for the intertidal flats in the Wadden Sea to adapt to sea level r ...

Abstract:
... Around 100 million animals are killed annually for the global fur trade, with 85% reared on fur farms and 15% trapped in the wild. Fur farming is banned across the United Kingdom (UK) under the Fur Farming (Prohibition) Act 2000 in England and Wales and parallel legislation in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Despite the farming bans, the import and sale of fur products to the UK have continued, lar ...

Abstract:
... The mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) translocates into the nucleus, facilitating histone acetylation by producing acetyl-CoA. We describe a noncanonical pathway for nuclear PDC (nPDC) import that does not involve nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). Mitochondria cluster around the nucleus in response to proliferative stimuli and tether onto the nuclear envelope (NE) via mitofusin-2 (MF ...
... The growth in trade of food across international borders requires authorities to be trained to promote food safety and risk-based inspection. Online training for risk-based food import controls is a promising approach. In this study, we focused on the development and refinement of a self-paced online course to teach risk-based inspection of food imports, in short RIFI. We applied educational desig ...
... As for all traded products, aggregated wine imports build on numerous trades at the firm level. To ensure consumers access to a variety of wines with different qualities, importers need to connect to different wine exporters. Some of these relationships will last for a long time, while the duration of others may be short. In this article, we employ transaction-level data to analyze the duration of ...

This paper uses a policy mix approach to study innovation policy criteria, which include municipalities' location factors, stakeholder collaboration activities, and local knowledge about renewable energy sources and projects. The aim is to study the impact of these factors on decision- ...
