Forecasting Natural Gas Prices in Real Time
Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the forecastability of the real price of natural gas in the United States at the monthly frequency considering a universe of models that differ in complexity and economic content. We find that considerable reductions in mean‐squared prediction error relative to a no‐change benchmark can be ...

3D Polymeric Nanonetworks: From Self‐Assembly to Advanced Fabrication
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This review provides the first systematic cross‐method comparison of fabrication techniques for 3D polymeric nanonetworks. It evaluates five key strategies—block copolymer self‐assembly, hyper‐crosslinking, template‐assisted methods, 3D printing, and nanolithography—across critical metrics including resolution, throughput, scalability, and material ...

Conditional Generative Modeling for Enhanced Credit Risk Management in Supply Chain Finance
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cross‐border e‐commerce (CBEC) has created significant opportunities for small‐ and medium‐sized sellers, yet financing remains a critical challenge due to their limited credit histories. Third‐party logistics (3PL)‐led supply chain finance (SCF) has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging in‐transit inventory as ...

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT We are concerned with the stability of a transferable‐utility cooperative (TU) game. First, the concept of core can be weakened so that the blocking of changes is limited to only those with multilateral backings. This principle of consensual blocking, as well as the traditional core‐defining one of unilateral blocking and one straddling in ...

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.‘Greening’ is often depicted as an inherently benevolent practice, turning arid stretches of land into arable and fertile plots. However, by considering a longer history of place and taking archival records into account, such transformations are rendered more complex and, often, more fraught.
