The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

A Taxonomy of Predictive Maintenance as a Basis for Supra‐Regional Sustainability Monitoring—Literature Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The concept of predictive maintenance in advanced manufacturing systems is crucial from the point of view of resource efficiency in the era of high competitiveness forced by energy transformation in the digital economy. Against the backdrop of sustainability and the opportunities a data cooperative offers, the combination of predictive ...

Rigorous Lower Bound on Dynamical Exponents in Gapless Frustration-Free Systems

Physical Review X
This work rigorously establishes a universal lower bound z≥2 for the dynamical exponent in frustration-free quantum many-body systems whose ground states exhibit power-law decaying correlations.

Sustainability Challenges to the Steel Industry in a Developing Country: Sanctions and Security Issues at the Forefront

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article contributes to sustainability research by investigating the complex, geopolitically induced challenges faced by industrial supply chains under international sanctions. Using Iran's steel industry as a case, it examines sustainability barriers through the lens of stakeholder theory. A mixed methods approach was employed.

Orchestrating Ecosystem Resources for Sustainability: Coopetition, Digital Transformation, and Disruptive Sustainable Innovation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As sustainability transitions accelerate, firms increasingly engage in innovation ecosystems to pursue disruptive sustainable innovation (DSI). Nevertheless, empirical understanding regarding how innovation ecosystem coopetition—simultaneous cooperation and competition among interdependent actors—translates into sustainability‐oriented ...

Application of influence diagrams to multi‐objective allocation of firefighting resources in process plants

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Identification of firefighting strategies (i.e., which endangered units to suppress or cool first) in chemical and process plants falls under the domain of multi‐objective decision‐making (MODM), where not only the safety and integrity of the affected process plant but also the safety of on‐site and off‐site vulnerable targets matter.

A hidden Markov model and reinforcement learning‐based strategy for fault‐tolerant control

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a data‐driven control strategy integrating hidden Markov models (HMM) and reinforcement learning (RL) to achieve resilient, fault‐tolerant operation against persistent disturbances in nonlinear chemical processes. Called hidden Markov model and reinforcement learning (HMMRL), this strategy is evaluated in two case studies

A goodness‐of‐fit test for regression models with discrete outcomes

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Regression models are often used to analyze discrete outcomes, but classical goodness‐of‐fit tests such as those based on the deviance or Pearson's statistic can be misleading or have little power in this context. To address this issue, we propose a new test, inspired by the work of Czado et al.

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...

Reweighting Scheme for the Calculation of Grand‐Canonical Expectation Values in Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations With a Fermion Sign Problem

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ab initio path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations constitute the gold standard for the estimation of a broad range of equilibrium properties of a host of interacting quantum many‐body systems spanning a broad range of conditions from ultracold atoms to warm dense quantum plasmas.
