Identification of Segments of Thermo Energy Plants with a Latent Class Model [PDF]
This paper identifies different groups in a cost function framework of thermo energy plants belonging to EDP-Electricity of Portugal. In particular, we have clustered the sample - comprising data for years 1987 to 2006 - into two groups.

New AI‐Assisted Approach for Expanding the Solution Space: Application to Lattice Structure Design
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces an innovative framework for designing structured materials by ex panding the design space through reparameterization of qualitative variables into continuous structural descriptors. Combined with machine‐learning‐based prediction and multi‐objective optimization, the approach enables the discovery of novel lattice architectures ...

The Latent Heterogeneity in Investment Location Choices of Multinational Enterprises [PDF]
The heterogeneity of investing firms is an important determinant of the distribution of foreign direct investment (FDI) location decisions. This paper, for the first time, explicitly allows for firms’ heterogeneity by using a latent class discrete choice

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Digitalizing electroplating requires both domain knowledge and interoperability. This work introduces PlatOn, a domain ontology for trivalent chromium plating and coating characterization, and a hybrid pipeline that aligns it to a mid‐level reference ontology by combining eight similarity metrics with language model reasoning. Expert‐validated mappings

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).
