A Breadth‐First Pruned‐Enriched Rosenbluth Method for Force–Extension Simulations of Confined Semiflexible Chains

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The behaviors of semiflexible polymers such as DNA and protein are often reshaped by coupled interactions. Monte Carlo simulations assist in studying these systems. This work recasts the traditional chain‐growth strategy into a new framework: a fixed number of chains grow synchronously, while less relevant chains to the target system are removed and ...

Towards Advanced Intelligent and Perceptive Soft Grippers

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Implementing soft yet strong and intelligent soft grippers request innovative and creative solutions in designing soft bodies and seamlessly integrating actuated systems with hierarchical sensing. This review systematically analyses soft grippers with a deep understanding of core components, from fundamental design principles to actuation and sensing ...

A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Prosocial behaviour in primary and secondary school students. Effects of the CYBUPRE intervention

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Prosocial behaviour is regarded as a critical factor in reducing aggressive behaviours among peers, both in physical settings and virtual spaces. This variable facilitates the enhancement of social relationships, promoting empathy, deep listening, physical and verbal service, and even solidarity, among other benefits.

Advances in causal discovery methods for ecological time series

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in data collection technologies (e.g. automated sensor networks, satellite remote sensing, and high‐throughput sequencing) have greatly expanded the availability of ecological time series, enabling new opportunities for causal analyses in dynamic ecosystems.

Dynamic Spillovers Between FinTech, Blockchain, and Green Finance: A Quantile Connectedness Approach

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores how financial innovation and environmental sustainability intersect by analyzing spillovers between FinTech, blockchain energy use, and green finance. Using a Quantile Vector Autoregression (QVAR) framework, we examine weekly data from 2018 to 2024 across 11 digital, environmental, and macro‐financial indices.

Data‐Driven Analysis of Green Logistics Strategies for the Logistics and Transportation Companies: A Bipolar Fuzzy Methodology

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global imperatives, such as climate change, environmental concerns, and carbon emissions, make green transformation an inevitability in the logistics sector. Green logistics strategy formulation is an economic choice problem, but it also turns out to be a multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) process that encompasses the triple bottom line (TBL)

Whose Sustainability Counts? Board Governance, ESG Ratings, and Sustainable Development Goals: Evidence on the ESG–SDG Wedge

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Institutional investors increasingly rely on ESG ratings to evaluate financially material sustainability risks, while governments promote corporate alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Because these frameworks differ substantially in capital market salience and monitoring intensity, board oversight may not ...

Asymptotic properties of cross‐classified sampling designs

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigate the family of cross‐classified sampling designs across an arbitrary number of dimensions. We introduce a variance decomposition that enables the derivation of general asymptotic properties for these designs and the development of straightforward and asymptotically unbiased variance estimators.
