Multifractal Applications in Hydro-Climatology: A Comprehensive Review of Modern Methods by Shamseena Vahab, Adarsh Sankaran

“…The case study proves the efficacy of CNMFA and shows that it has the flexibility to be applied in visibility and inverted visibility schemes, which is effective in complex datasets comprising both high- and low-amplitude fluctuations. The comprehensive review showed that more than 75% of the literature focuses on characteristic analysis of the time-series using MFDFA rather than modeling. …”

Does Participation in Digital Supply and Marketing Promote Smallholder Farmers’ Adoption of Green Agricultural Production Technologies? by Yuyang Li, Jiahui Li, Xinjie Li, Qian Lu

“…The findings reveal the following: (1) Participation in DSM effectively encourages farmers to adopt GAPTs. (2) Such participation enhances household per capita income, strengthens risk management, lowers entry barriers to high-value markets, and improves farmers’ access to information, thereby promoting the adoption of GAPTs. (3) Compared to low-capital, high-labor, and low-risk technologies, participation in DSM has a stronger incentivizing effect on the adoption of high-capital, low-labor, and high-risk technologies. This study offers novel empirical insights into the impact and mechanisms of DSM on farmers’ adoption of GAPTs. …”
