Assessing the Impact of Promotions on Consumer Purchasing Behavior During Crises
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how households modify their food expenditure decisions during times of crisis is essential because consumer purchasing behavior frequently changes during these times. This study looks at these behavioral shifts during the COVID‐19 pandemic, concentrating on how price sensitivity and response to sales promotions changed over the ...

Trust‐region filter algorithms utilizing Hessian information for gray‐box optimization
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Optimizing industrial processes often involves gray‐box models that couple algebraic glass‐box equations with black‐box components lacking analytic derivatives. Such systems challenge derivative‐based solvers. The classical trust‐region filter (TRF) algorithm provides a robust framework but requires extensive parameter tuning and numerous ...

A trust‐region funnel algorithm for gray‐box optimization
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Gray‐box optimization, where parts of optimization problems are represented by algebraic models while others are treated as black‐box models lacking analytic derivatives, remains a challenge. Trust‐region (TR) methods provide a robust framework for gray‐box problems through local reduced models (RMs) for black‐box components, but they are ...

Graph‐based imitation and reinforcement learning for efficient Benders decomposition
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This work introduces an end‐to‐end graph‐based agent for accelerating the computational efficiency of Benders Decomposition. The agent's policy is parameterized by a graph neural network, which takes as input a bipartite graph representation of the master problem and proposes a candidate solution.

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This work presents a novel generative artificial intelligence (AI) framework for inverse alloy design through operations (optimization and diffusion) within learned compact latent space from variational autoencoder (VAE). The proposed work addresses challenges of limited data, nonuniqueness solutions, and high‐dimensional spaces.

Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.

Unstitching Scarlet Letters?: Prosecutorial Discretion and Expungement [PDF]
, 2018 This Article argues that scholarly discussions about prosecutorial discretion need to extend their focus beyond the exercise of prosecutorial judgment pretrial or questions of factual and legal guilt. Given that the primary role of the prosecutoris to do
