Methodology for the Quantification of the Impact of Weather Forecasts in Predictive Simulation Models

Energies, 2019
The use of Building Energy Models (BEM) has become widespread to reduce building energy consumption. Projection of the model in the future to know how different consumption strategies can be evaluated is one of the main applications of BEM.

Wave Tracing: Generalizing The Path Integral To Wave Optics

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Modeling the wave nature of light and the propagation and diffraction of electromagnetic fields is crucial for the accurate simulation of many phenomena, yet wave simulations are significantly more computationally complex than classical ray‐based models.

Demand Shocks, Export Diversification, and Firm Performance During the Great Trade Collapse

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the impact of external demand shocks from the 2008 to 2009 Great Trade Collapse on the performance of Chinese exporters and examines how export diversification mitigates these effects. Using Chinese Customs data merged with financial data from all listed Chinese firms, we construct firm‐specific demand shocks based on pre ...

Phosphorus addition shifts elevated CO2 effects on soil respiration from rhizosphere to root pathways in a mature eucalypt woodland

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary diagram of the utilization of additional carbohydrates fixed under elevated CO2 belowground in natural low‐phosphorus (P) (a) and P‐fertilized (b) conditions. Soil respiration consists of heterotrophic respiration from microbial activity in bulk soil, autotrophic respiration from fine‐root activity and rhizomicrobial respiration driven by ...

Implementing a web-based optimized artificial intelligence system with metaheuristic optimization for improving building energy performance

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
Improving energy efficiency in buildings is a challenge during operation and maintenance. The work proposes a cloud artificial intelligence-based building energy management (cloud AI-BEM) system for predicting building energy consumption.

Enterobacter supplement and ambient conditions determine the performance of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Partial replacement of Brewer's yeast (protein source) with inactivated Enterobacter biomass during larval development enhanced mating competitiveness of sterile VIENNA 8 GSS males under outdoor field‐cage conditions. Sterile male mating performance was season‐dependent, with highest competitiveness in spring, intermediate in autumn and the lowest ...

Consent and the Formation of Preferences

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Under ideal conditions, explicit consent and related actions usually change the moral facts in a distinctive way: they make something permissible that was previously impermissible. But they don't do this if the consent is coerced. And it seems they also don't do it if the preferences on which the consent is based were formed in particular ways:

Anchoring of inflation expectations and the role of monetary policy and cost‐push factors

The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper studies the anchoring of inflation expectations at the individual forecaster level. It proposes a novel measure of anchoring based on both point and density forecasts, and uses data from the European Central Bank Survey of Professional Forecasters to examine its co‐movement with expectations about monetary policy and key cost‐push ...

Kogia Records in Brazilian Equatorial and Southwestern Atlantic Oceans

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales are cryptic cetaceans characterized by inconspicuous surfacing behavior, small group sizes, and deep‐diving habits, making visual detection particularly challenging. Here, we present the first broad‐scale passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) assessment of Kogia spp.
