Too Complex to Choose? The Role of Heuristics in Shaping Farmers' Willingness to Pay for Income Stabilization Tool in Italy

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European agriculture is increasingly exposed to economic instability driven by extreme weather events, market volatility, and geopolitical tensions. To manage these growing risks, farmers are encouraged to adopt innovative risk management strategies such as the Income Stabilization Tool (IST), which offers protection against severe income ...

The Challenge of Handling Structured Missingness in Integrated Data Sources

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
As data integration becomes ever more prevalent, a new research question that emerges is how to handle missing values that will inevitably arise in these large‐scale integrated databases? This missingness can be described as structured missingness, encompassing scenarios involving multivariate missingness mechanisms and deterministic, nonrandom ...

Overcoming the Nyquist Limit in Molecular Hyperspectral Imaging by Reinforcement Learning

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Explorative spectral acquisition guide automatically selects informative spectral bands to optimize downstream tasks, outperforming full‐spectrum acquisition. The selected hyperspectral data are used for tasks such as unmixing and segmentation. BandOptiNet encodes selection states and outputs optimal bands to guide spectral acquisition. Recent advances

PPO‐Based Reinforcement Learning for the Semi‐Active Vibration Control of MDOF Platform

AI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aiming at the coupled vibration problem of a multi‐degree‐of‐freedom (MDOF) vibration isolation platform under eccentric excitation, this paper proposes a semi‐active vibration control strategy based on Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) ‐based reinforcement learning (PPO RL).

Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

Features of discounting lease payments in the context of determining the interest rate

Интеллект. Инновации. Инвестиции
When discounting rental payments, the discount rate level plays a key role. If, in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement, the rate cannot be precisely determined, it is necessary to resort to similar borrowing rates with comparable conditions,

Sitting in Many Camps—Innovative Approaches and Methods for First Nations‐Led Research Into Indigenous Peacebuilding

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2021, a desktop review was conducted of published references to First Nations peoples' approaches to conflict and its management in Australia (Project Stage One), culminating in a report published in 2024. This article focuses on Project Stage Two, a complex, innovative research undertaking building on the findings of Stage One, and being ...
