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 ...

Rethinking Public Administration Reform: Institutional Layering of Bureaucratic, Managerial and Community Logics Over Time in Nigeria's Tax Administration

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The reform of public institutions has attracted sustained attention in both scholarship and policymaking. Increasingly, however, there is growing recognition that reforms are rarely implemented in an institutional vacuum. Instead, new reforms are layered onto existing arrangements, producing hybrid institutional landscapes shaped by prior ...

Melodies of the forest: Nature as an improvisational space for shared creative embodiment

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In an era marked by increasing disconnection from nature, innovative approaches to reconnect with the environment are crucial for both ecological and psychological well‐being. This paper explores how natural environments (a deciduous forest of Quebec in the present case study) can serve as an improvisational space for shared creative ...

Robotics‐assisted acoustic surveys could deliver reliable, landscape‐level biodiversity insights

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Deploying and maintaining sensors is often a major bottleneck in collecting rapid biodiversity data. We tested whether autonomous hopping drones equipped with acoustic recorders could collect reliable biodiversity data in Costa Rica. Using 26,000+ hours of existing audio from 341 sites, with machine learning detections of 19 bird species and spider ...

Location‐Assisted Graph‐Based User Scheduling in Multi‐User MIMO LEO NTN Systems

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses user clustering and scheduling for multi‐user MIMO low Earth orbit nonterrestrial network systems in full frequency reuse. Since the number of on‐ground user terminals is usually much higher than the number of on‐board LEO satellite antennas, user scheduling becomes a fundamental task.

Busting “ghost subtitles” on streaming services

Translation and Interpreting : the International Journal of Translation and Interpreting Research
In this paper we focus on a phenomenon that all subtitle users experience: “ghost subtitles”. “Ghost subtitles” are subtitles we notice in our peripheral vision, only to find them gone by the time our eyes have moved down to start readingordisappearing ...

Advanced Fade Mitigation Techniques for Q/V Band SATCOM Systems

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adaptive fade mitigation techniques, such as smart gateway diversity (SGD), are essential in addressing atmospheric fading affecting the operation of high throughput and very high throughput satellite systems at Ka‐band and beyond. Specifically, the Q/V‐band, offering up to 5 GHz of available spectrum, is very attractive for future high data ...
