Do Governance Structures Drive Green Building Adoption? A Machine Learning Approach With Random Forests

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the determinants of firms' propensity to adopt green buildings in the Euro Stoxx 300 and the S&P 500 indices, during 2012–2023. Using random forest binary classifiers, we assess the relative importance of financial, sectoral, geographic, and climate governance predictors and uncover nonlinear relationships often overlooked ...

Visualizing Specific Tubulin Isotypes and Pathogenic Variants in Cellular Microtubule Arrays

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eukaryotic cells depend on dynamic microtubule arrays to execute a wide range of functions vital for life. These microtubule filaments are formed through the polymerization of α/β‐tubulin proteins, which can be generated from numerous tubulin genes, or isotypes.

Edge Fluid Turbulence Simulations of Stellarators With GRILLIX

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The edge fluid turbulence code GRILLIX has recently been extended from axisymmetric tokamak geometries to support 3D stellarator configurations. Following successful proof‐of‐principle simulations published in Stegmeir et al., we present here a comprehensive simulation of the Wendelstein 7‐AS stellarator.

High Precision Prediction Model of Wind Speed for Underground Mine Tunnel by Using ASTF Net

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper proposes an Adaptive Spectral‐Temporal Fusion Net (ASTF‐Net), which features a novel decomposition‐ensemble framework with adaptive feature fusion. This design deliberately balances spectral and temporal features and effectively boosts prediction accuracy in complex ventilation environments. ABSTRACT An Adaptive Spectral‐Temporal Fusion Net (

Development and Preliminary Validation of a Modified Thyroid Symptom Questionnaire (TSQ)

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed to modify and validate the Thyroidectomy Voice and Symptom Questionnaire (TVSQ) to serve as a symptom screening tool in benign thyroid disease. Methods A 32‐item modified TVSQ was developed and administered alongside a symptom checklist to outpatients; controls were recruited to determine discriminative validity ...
