Does a Specialized Niche Market Vegetable Processor Enjoy Bargaining Power?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agribusiness companies may achieve competitive advantage through specialization within niche markets. One such niche is the fresh‐cut fruit and vegetable market, which has been steadily growing in Germany. This study examines whether the specialization of a German fresh‐cut producer grants it with market power within this niche market.

Is Precision Agriculture Technology Adoption Persistently Overestimated?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Precision agriculture is sometimes assumed to diffuse steadily over time, and industry planning frequently extrapolates early adoption trends forward. This study evaluates the accuracy of such expectations by comparing agricultural input dealers' forecasts of future service offerings with the actual levels of offerings that dealerships ...

Large Language Model in Materials Science: Roles, Challenges, and Strategic Outlook

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Large language models (LLMs) are reshaping materials science. Acting as Oracle, Surrogate, Quant, and Arbiter, they now extract knowledge, predict properties, gauge risk, and steer decisions within a traceable loop. Overcoming data heterogeneity, hallucinations, and poor interpretability demands domain‐adapted models, cross‐modal data standards, and ...

The Interoperability Challenge in DFT Workflows Across Implementations

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Interoperability and cross‐validation remain major challenges in the computational materials science. In this work, we introduce a common input/output standard that enables internal translation across multiple workflow managers—AiiDA, PerQueue, Pipeline Pilot, and SimStack—while producing results in a unified schema.

K competing queues with customer abandonment: optimality of a generalised $$c \mu $$-rule by the Smoothed Rate Truncation method [PDF]

Annals of Operations Research, 2019
AbstractWe consider a K-competing queues system with the additional feature of customer abandonment. Without abandonment, it is optimal to allocate the server to a queue according to the $$c \mu $$ c μ -rule.
