Efficiency and Technology Gap in European Apple Production—A Metafrontier Model for Germany, Italy, and Poland

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT EU member states have exhibited varying rates of apple production growth. Technical efficiency (TE) estimation is suitable for identifying best‐practice farm performance. This study examined whether the development of the apple sector in Germany, Italy, and Poland was influenced by production efficiency, access to technology, as well as ...

multi-objective mathematical model for optimizing the collection and recycling of urban waste under conditions of uncertainty(The subject of study : Karaj city)

مدیریت بهره وری
In this research, using the double-objective mixed integer linear programming method, an optimal supply chain network for the collection and recycling of urban waste has been presented in terms of source separation and the uncertainty of per capita waste

Economic and Environmental Tradeoffs in Cultivating Short Food Supply Chains With Urban Indoor Agriculture

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study advances the literature on sustainable urban agriculture and alternative sustainable food production systems, which have gained momentum due to the need to strengthen regional food supply chains and meet the growing urban demand for fresh food. Indoor agriculture (IA) holds promise for year‐round cultivation of fresh produce even in

Design and optimization of processes for recovering rare earth elements from end‐of‐life permanent magnets

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from end‐of‐life (EOL) products represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen the domestic supply chain for rare earth elements. This work presents a superstructure‐based optimization framework for finding the most economical processing pathway for different EOL rare earth permanent magnets (REPMs ...

Design for flexibility: An adjustable robust optimization approach with decision‐dependent uncertainty

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexibility is a crucial characteristic of industrial systems that face increasing volatilities and is therefore essential to ensure feasible operation under uncertainty. Flexibility is often closely tied to the design of a system, and careful consideration must be taken to understand the trade‐off between design cost and operational ...

What to Make and How to Make It: Combining Machine Learning and Statistical Learning to Design New Materials

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Combining machine learning and probabilistic statistical learning is a powerful way to discover and design new materials. A variety of machine learning approaches can be used to identify promising candidates for target applications, and causal inference can help identify potential ways to make them a reality.
