Demand and consumption patterns of banana in Tanzania by William George

“…The findings reveal a negative price elasticity of demand for bananas, ranging from −0.110 to −0.130, statistically significant at the 10% level. Cross-price elasticities show substitution effects with cassava (0.06–0.08) and sweet potatoes (0.24). …”

New strategies for probing $$B\rightarrow D^*\ell \bar{\nu }_\ell $$ B → D ∗ ℓ ν ¯ ℓ lattice and experimental data by M. Bordone, A. Jüttner

“…The analysis is based on the form-factor parameterisation by Boyd–Grinstein–Lebed (BGL), using Bayesian and frequentist statistics, for which we discuss novel strategies. We compare the results of an analysis where the BGL parameterisation is fit only to the lattice data with those from a simultaneous fit to lattice and experiment, and discuss the resulting predictions for the CKM-matrix element $${|V_{cb}|}$$ | V cb | , as well as other phenomenological observables, such as $$R^{\tau /\mu }(D^*)$$ R τ / μ ( D ∗ ) . …”

PHENIX highlights: Recent results from PHENIX by Shimomura Maya

“…Additionally, forward rapidity J/ψ and v2 measurements show a result consistent with zero, in contrast to LHC findings. (2) Precise direct photon yields obtained via large statistical datasets, spanning a wide range of transverse momentum (pT) and centrality bins have the scaling behavior across various large systems, and non-prompt direct photon results reveal temperature (Teff) dependence on pT. (3) Charged hadron production was examined in collision systems of varying sizes, revealing that RAA is primarily dependent on the overlap volume (Npart). …”
