Cost‐benefit analysis to provide decision criteria: A case study of municipalities in Japan

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the use of cost‐benefit analysis (CBA) as a decision‐making tool by deriving boundary values that distinguish positive and negative policy outcomes. While traditional CBA relies on fully quantifiable inputs, this approach focuses on providing reference values for uncertain variables, using CO2 emission reductions as an ...

Towards sustainable climate‐smart agriculture: A cost–benefit analysis of a modernized irrigation district in Spain

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Amidst the escalating impact of climate change, the agricultural sector faces the challenge of maintaining productive capacity while conserving increasingly scarce water resources. Modernizing irrigation systems by replacing inefficient open‐channel distribution infrastructures is crucial to address this challenge.

Sensing the sky's edge: Atmospheric insights into the Korean demilitarised zone

Area, EarlyView.
Short Abstract In this paper, I demonstrate that novel and creative ‘atmospheric methods’ not only provide us with a means of overcoming difficulties around access to border spaces, but also more importantly afford us new insights into how atmospherically attuned things and the materialities of weather become entangled with and produce border ...

ENTANGLING KNOWLEDGE AND IGNORANCE

History and Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review essays situates Alain Corbin's Terra Incognita: A History of Ignorance in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries within current discussions of knowledge and ignorance related to intellectual history, the history of science, and the history of knowledge.

Carbonylation of hair proteins: A robust biomarker of molecular and structural oxidative damage in hair fibres

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
The protein carbonylation biomarker is validated as reliable molecular damage marker to monitor hair oxidative damage (chemical and photo oxidation). It is slightly more sensitive than the cysteic acid in the case of photochemical oxidation and allows to geolocate qualitatively and quantitatively the oxidation within the hair fibre substructures ...

Central Banks’ Support for Climate Action: A Literature Review and Key Issues

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This comprehensive literature review examines the role of central banks in supporting climate actions. It explores the reasons why central banks should be concerned about climate change, the policy instruments available to them, the challenges they face in integrating climate considerations into their mandates and operations, and the ...

Future Making: Towards a Practice Perspective

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Management scholars are increasingly interested in ‘future making’, observing and theorizing how organizational actors produce and enact the yet‐to‐come. However, the rapid growth of the conversation runs the risk of emptying the notion of future making, calling into question its meaning and relevance.

Adaptive Estimation for Weakly Dependent Functional Times Series

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose adaptive mean and autocovariance function estimators for stationary functional time series under 𝕃p−m‐approximability assumptions. These estimators are designed to adapt to the regularity of the curves and to accommodate both sparse and dense data designs.

A methodology for incident detection in sectorized water distribution networks based on pressure and flow data

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents an intelligent system for predicting incident reports (IRs) in sectorized water distribution networks, such as drains in sidewalks, lack of pressure, lack of water, leaks, or others, based on pressure and flow data. Currently, incident detection in the industry is highly inefficient, as it is always performed reactively ...

Long short‐term memory‐based real‐time prediction models for freezing depth and thawing time in unbound pavement layers

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The prediction of freezing depth and thawing time of unbound pavement layers in cold regions is a critical task in pavement design and management. This study developed long short‐term memory (LSTM)‐based encoder–decoder models to accurately predict freezing depth and thawing time, with air temperature as the sole input variable.
