AI‐Driven Circular Construction Waste Management for Advancing Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) represents up to 40% of global solid waste, posing a significant barrier to achieving circular economy (CE) objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 and SDG 12. However, construction waste management (CWM) systems remain constrained by fragmented data environments ...

Building Blocks as Experiences in Dynamic Capacitated Arc Routing Problems

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic capacitated arc routing problem (DCARP) aims to update the service paths of vehicles in the capacitated arc routing problem when uncertain factors deteriorate the current schedule of vehicles' services. A DCARP scenario comprises a series of DCARP instances that share similarities with each other. Therefore, optimisation experience

Unleashing the power of visible‐near infrared spectroscopy: predicting Golden Delicious apple enzyme activity

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7503-7511, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Enzymatic browning is a significant reaction in fruits that affects their color, appearance, and quality. The quality of apples, as a perishable product, is mainly influenced by the activity of two browning‐related enzymes, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD), during storage.
