Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Segmenting & profiling the deflecting customer: understanding shopping cart abandonment

Procedia Computer Science, 2017
Abstract One of the key factors affecting the e-commerce in any country is the incident of shopping cart abandonment (SCA). The phenomenon occurs either when the consumer is searching for products or when the items have been selected and the consumer is moving towards checkout.

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.

Nearly periodic behavior in the overloaded G/D/s+GI queue

Stochastic Systems, 2011
Under general conditions, the number of customers in a GI/D/s+GI many-server queue at time t converges to a unique stationary distribution as t → ∞. However, simulations show that the sample paths routinely exhibit nearly periodic behavior over long time

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 ...

Study on Bernoulli scheduling, customers priority shift in busy state, intolerance of customers in working vacation, complete vacation in a M/M/1/∞ model. [PDF]

Mathematics and Computational Sciences
This study examines Bernoulli scheduling approach, customers(clients) priority shift during server’s busy state and explores customers intolerance during server’s working vacation (WV) state with complete vacation in a M/M/1/∞ queueing model.

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.

A Switching Fluid Limit of a Stochastic Network Under a State-Space-Collapse Inducing Control with Chattering [PDF]

, 2014
Routing mechanisms for stochastic networks are often designed to produce state space collapse (SSC) in a heavy-traffic limit, i.e., to confine the limiting process to a lower-dimensional subset of its full state space.
