Impact factors in open access : the value, frustrations, and new paths forward
(2023)
The age-old metric associated with traditional print academic journals— the journal impact factor (JIF)—has carried over into some electronic open access journals (OA). JIF receives a fair share of criticism (e.g., easy ...
Mobilizing Science and Technology for Development : The Case of the Cassava Biotechnology Network (CBN)
(AgBioForum, 2006)
Cassava is regarded as the crop of last resort for millions of marginal farmers and their domestic animals in tropical regions. The Cassava Biotechnology Network (CBN) is addressing the major socioeconomic and agronomic ...
Compliance costs for regulatory approval of c4 rice
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2017)
GM rice plant required several gene transformations, assuming it would be realized simultaneously in the 13 Asian countries in 2035. We found it to be $18.8 million (undiscounted), around 16.3% of the total research and development (R&D) costs. We...
Food values, personality traits, and attitudes towards genetically modified food in Norway and the United States
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2023)
We explored the effects of personality traits and subjective beliefs on willingness to pay (WTP) to avoid genetically modified (GM) foods using a random effects interval regression model. The personality traits were measured ...
Variety Market Development : A Bt Cotton Cropping Factor and Constraint in China

In China, Bt-cotton varieties have been marketed since 1997 to help control attacks of some cotton pests, notably Helicoverpa armigera. It is estimated that Bt-cotton is currently grown on about 70% of the total Chinese ...
Single-molecule observation of nucleotide induced conformational changes in basal SecA-ATP hydrolysis
(2018)
SecA is the critical adenosine triphosphatase that drives preprotein transport through the translocon, SecYEG, in Escherichia coli. This process is thought to be regulated by conformational changes of specific domains of ...

Dynamics of extended spinning masses in a gravitational field
(American Physical Society, 2006)
We develop a first-order approximation method for the influence of spin on the motion of extended spinning test masses in a gravitational field. This approach is illustrated for approximately circular equatorial motion in ...
