ABSTRACT This study investigates how bureaucratic strategies for structuring the policy environment shape regulatory outcomes, focusing on the extent to which agencies achieve their original policy preferences. Drawing on resource dependence theory and bureaucratic politics, we conceptualize the policy environment in two dimensions: internal ...

Grocery Retail Location Patterns in Brno: Clustering, Inequality and Street Network Centrality
Abstract This study aims to evaluate the spatial distribution and clustering patterns of grocery retail chains in Brno, Czech Republic, focusing on national and multinational stores. By employing Geographic Information Systems and advanced spatial analysis techniques, including the nearest neighbour method, standard deviational ellipse, Kernel density ...

Geometric exchange between dendritic spines and shafts is often neglected, yet it exhibits the same signature as permeative exchange, biasing NEXI/SMEX measurements. We propose two models: an extended three‐compartment Kärger model that resolves spine–shaft exchange explicitly, and a coarse‐grained Kärger model that absorbs spines into an effective ...

Modelling Healthy Operations of Generator Bearings in Wind Farms
ABSTRACT This study investigates the consistency and impact of feature selection methods on deterministic and probabilistic normal behaviour models (NBMs) for estimating rear generator bearing temperature in wind farms using SCADA data. Rigorous NBM development enables the transfer of key features, enhances anomaly detection comparability and ...

Random Carbon Tax Policy and Investment Into Emission Abatement Technologies
ABSTRACT We analyze the problem of a profit‐maximizing electricity producer, subject to carbon taxes, who decides on investments into CO2$\rm CO_2$ abatement technologies. We assume that the carbon tax policy is random and that the investment in the abatement technology is divisible, irreversible, and subject to transaction costs.

A Model of Strategic Sustainable Investment
ABSTRACT We study a problem of optimal irreversible investment and emission reduction formulated as a nonzero‐sum dynamic game between an investor with environmental preferences and a firm. The game is set in continuous‐time on an infinite‐time horizon.

Dam Management in the Era of Climate Change
ABSTRACT Climate change has a dramatic impact, particularly by concentrating rainfall into a few short periods, interspersed with long dry spells. In this context, the role of dams is crucial. We consider the optimal control of a dam, where the water level must neither exceed a designated safety threshold nor fall below a minimum level to ensure ...

Solar Energy Risks: Stochastic Radiation Modeling and Optimal Hedging Strategies
ABSTRACT The growing integration of solar power into electricity markets increasingly demands advanced risk management tools to address the inherent variability of solar radiation and its interaction with electricity prices. This paper introduces a novel framework for modeling and pricing new financial instruments designed to link payoffs directly to ...

Abstract SO2 flux and gas composition were measured during the 2021 flank eruption of Pacaya Volcano (Guatemala). The SO2 flux, measured with Tropomi, gradually rose from ∼2 to ∼30 kg/s over a 5 month period before the eruption. Field UV camera data showed that >95% of the SO2 was emitted from the summit crater.

Fluid Injection Triggers Large‐Scale Slow‐Slip Activation of the Rocky Mountain Fold and Thrust Belt
Abstract Using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) we show that hydraulic fracturing treatments near the subsurface deformation limit of the Rocky Mountain Fold and Thrust Belt produced 12 intraplate, aseismic, slow‐slip events with magnitudes Mw ${M}_{w}$ 4.71–5.06 at 1,640–2,410 m depths.
