MY NEIGHBOUR AS MYSELF? AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF SPATIAL PATTERNS OF RISK PREFERENCES AMONG SMALLHOLDER FARMERS

My neighbour as myself? An experimental investigation of spatial patterns of risk preferences among smallholder farmers

Farmers could be spatially clustered according to their risk attitude.Previous studies neither investigated such effects nor incorporated spatial terms in models examining risk preferences and attitudes.We examined decision-making under risk using a lottery-task experiment and then measured spatial patterns through spatial autocorrelation analysis

Wheat growth monitoring and yield estimation based on remote sensing data assimilation into the SAFY crop growth model

Abstract Crop growth monitoring and yield estimate information can be obtained via appropriate metrics such as the leaf area index (LAI) and biomass.Such information is crucial for guiding agricultural production, ensuring food security, and maintaining sustainable agricultural development.Traditional methods of field measurement and monitoring typ

Analysis of STAT1 activation by six FGFR3 mutants associated with skeletal dysplasia undermines dominant role of STAT1 in FGFR3 signaling in cartilage.

Activating mutations in FGFR3 tyrosine kinase cause several forms of human skeletal dysplasia.Although the mechanisms of FGFR3 action in cartilage are not completely understood, it is believed that the STAT1 transcription factor plays a central role in pathogenic FGFR3 signaling.Here, we analyzed STAT1 activation by the N540K, G380R, R248C, Y373C,
