Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific

Process‐informed co‐optimization of liquid air energy storage and data centers under off‐design thermodynamic operation

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid growth of AI data centers (AIDCs) is intensifying stress on power systems and exposing operators to volatile electricity markets. This work develops a process‐informed co‐optimization framework that integrates liquid air energy storage (LAES) with AIDC operation. Unlike black‐box storage models, the proposed formulation captures LAES

Exploiting Ferroelectric and Spintronic Dynamics for Neural Network Computation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric and spintronic devices, relying on the control of polarization and magnetization, offer intrinsically fast, durable, energy‐efficient, and low‐latency building blocks for analog in‐memory computing. The hysteretic dynamics of an order parameter are leveraged to provide nonvolatile, multistate memory and nonlinear switching. Brain‐inspired

Integrating Reinforcement Learning With Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Real‐Time Clinical Decision Support in Dynamic Healthcare Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A hybrid Reinforcement Learning–Explainable AI framework integrates SHAP and LIME explanations directly into a Deep Q‐Network inference loop for real‐time ICU decision support. Trained on 18 142 mechanically ventilated stays from the eICU database, the system attains 93.0% decision accuracy, 20% fewer errors than RL alone, and a 91% clinician trust ...

Graph Neural Network‐Based Reinforcement Learning for Decentralized Multi‐Robot Manipulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robot arms lifting a large object face a trade‐off: centralized controllers explode in parameters, while decentralized ones cannot coordinate. A GNN resolves this—each arm runs its own network but acts on the full team state, achieving centralized‐level coordination with decentralized execution. Trained across team sizes, a single policy scales to four‐
