Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze and compare the costs of price and income subsidies when the food security policy targets the urban poor. The result may help policymakers choose a desired subsidy scheme to ensure food security for the urban poor facing food price surge....

Based on the transposon-mutagenized library of Pantoea agglomerans BH18, mutant screens were conducted to obtain the strain with the highest Fe (III) reduction and hydrogen production. Of these transposon-mutagenized mutants, the mutant strain TB230 was screened for high Fe (III)-reducing...

BP neural network with optimum hidden layer nodes were used to evaluate the power environmental issues in China. Furthermore, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method is used to optimise the number of hidden layer nodes of BP neural network. The evaluation...

We provide estimates of expenditure and price elasticities of the demand for imported milk in Spain using a dynamic Linear Approximate of the Almost Ideal Demand System (LA-AIDS). We also provide evidence of structural change in the demand for imported milk in Spain due to the dairy program...

Existing literature suggests that people's cognitive styles vary significantly across nations and cultures, and that East Asians emphasize holistic information processing and are more receptive to transformational advertising than people in the West. Yet, both theoretical rationale and empirical...

Based on survey data of current situations of new generation migrant workers’ vocational education and its influence on social mobility in Shijiazhuang City, the author believes that there are many drawbacks in vocational education of new generation migrant workers, including low...

The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties in ferrimagnetic DyCo<Subscript>4</Subscript>Al alloy are investigated in the vicinity of compensation temperature. A compensation temperature closed to room temperature is observed due to the spin-offset. On both sides of compensation temperature, the magnetization presents...</subscript>

The challenge of managing forests for the production of commercial non-timber forest products (NTFPs) lies in promoting economic development by maintaining and even increasing production while simultaneously maintaining or improving ecological conditions. The discussion of forest management...

In Xishuangbanna, China, rubber production has spread rapidly, resulting in extensive land use changes and an increasing influx of migrant workers who have come to find work on the plantations. These migrant workers have limited access to subsidies and the local collective forest due to the...
