Venezia e il Peloponneso, 992-1718 : indagini storiche tra territorio, biblioteca e archivio by Nanetti, Andrea

“…The extraordinary wealth of archival documents, chronicles, travel reports, archaeological sites and monuments, still for the most part to be studied, makes the privileged relationship between Venice and the Peloponnese a key element for the study of Venetian society, with reference to choices made by Venetians in the search for an ethical relationship with the Other in the geopolitical pursuit of their constitutional aim, i.e. far la marchadantia pacifichamente (to trade peacefully). In an almost millenary chronology (992-1718), the Peloponnese – a land on the maritime border between the Ionian and the Aegean Seas, a cultural and commercial link between the Latin-Roman West and the Hellenistic East – is a privileged laboratory for the training of the next generation of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural historians, and for staunch supporters of peace among peoples.…”

Fork to farm: reverse engineering a food system by Ingram, J, Barling, D, Bayes, N, Cottee, J, Dickinson, A, Hardman, C, Holub, E, Jones, K, Leadley, C, Maguire, R, Michaels, L, Midgley, G, Rajagopalan, R, Zhang, J, Zurek, M

“…Three demand scenarios were developed, based on increasing UK average daily consumption from 8.5g to either 17g, 34g or 50g, together with three enterprise opportunities (‘Community Enterprise’, ‘Artisanal Entrepreneurs’ and ‘Food Giants’) to satisfy these demands in different ways. The benefits and trade-offs of scaling UK beans were analysed, including assessments of overall benefits to health, benefits to the environment (which depend on the methods of land conversion and weed management used), and economic benefits (which depend on the scaling method employed).…”

Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…Research findings supported the hypotheses that agricultural transformation was impeded by the three factors: 1) an industrialisation-inspired de-facto currency overvaluation regime removed farmers’ potential to capture export markets, the latter serving as a “carrot” for adopting innovation; 2) trade protectionist policies in the rice sector removed import competition as a “stick” for adopting innovation; and 3) industrialisation- and land reform-related capital scarcity among smallholder farmers hindered the dynamics of IIA from taking place. …”

Modulation and control strategies for neutral-point-clamped converters by Beniwal, Neha

“…Though the proposed feedforward compensated modulation strategy offers a trade-off between the CV ripples and switching losses, its performance deteriorates in the presence of extreme nonlinear loads due to the tendency of the CVs to frequently bounce out of the voltage band leading to higher switching losses. …”
