Does a Specialized Niche Market Vegetable Processor Enjoy Bargaining Power?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agribusiness companies may achieve competitive advantage through specialization within niche markets. One such niche is the fresh‐cut fruit and vegetable market, which has been steadily growing in Germany. This study examines whether the specialization of a German fresh‐cut producer grants it with market power within this niche market.

Animal‐Based Brands Taking the Plant‐Based Opportunity: A Tasting Experiment Exploring Consumer Acceptance of Plant‐Based Brand Extensions

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how consumer taste and brand equity perceptions shape the acceptance of plant‐based milk products. Using a blind/informed tasting experiment, we evaluated consumers' willingness to buy (WTB) and taste perception of a plant‐based milk alternative produced by a traditional dairy brand, compared with competing plant‐based ...

Reconfiguring Fresh Produce Supply Chains in Response to Drought Risk: Evidence From the U.S. Broccoli Market

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most severe and persistent threats to food supply chains, and relocating production to less drought‐prone regions offers a strategy to reduce this risk. This is particularly relevant for fresh vegetables, which are highly water‐intensive, yet drought‐driven reconfiguration strategies remain understudied.

Heat‐ and Light‐Directed Cycloadditions Enable a Pericyclic Cascade Reaction From a Molecular Precursor

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A multi‐stimuli‐responsive material is designed that responds to light, heat, and mechanical force through distinct chemical reaction pathways. The pathway is directed by self‐assembly and the applied stimulus. A novel pericyclic reaction cascade is also achieved, and the mechanism is supported through density functional theory calculations.

Resolving passive heat transfer and phase‐change heat in cryogenic CO2 deposition (Desublimation) from CO2/N2 mixtures

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In cryogenic CO2 desublimation systems where phase change dominates both heat transfer and separation, conventional lumped thermal‐resistance treatments embed interfacial latent heat into an overall heat‐transfer coefficient, obscuring how phase‐change heat is partitioned between the gas phase and the coolant and limiting diagnostic insight ...

Speciation‐Controlled C–F Bond Functionalization Enabled by Zwitterionic Pnictinidenes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zwitterionic pnictinidenes turn C–F activation into C–X bond construction, enabling broad defluorinative functionalization of polyfluoro(hetero)arenes under mild conditions. Rather than following a metallomimetic Sb(I)/Sb(III) redox turnover, catalysis is redirected by ligand scrambling into a redox‐neutral manifold, revealing catalyst speciation as a ...

Automated generative process synthesis via transformer‐based dual‐loop simulation and optimization

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a novel framework for automated generative process synthesis, addressing the complexity of simultaneously optimizing discrete topologies and continuous operating variables. To overcome conventional superstructure limitations, we propose a dual‐loop architecture integrating generative transformers with rigorous process ...

Interactive Prompt‐Guided Robotic Grasping for Arbitrary Objects Based on Promptable Segment Anything Model and Force‐Closure Analysis

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
A laser pointer‐guided robotic grasping method for arbitrary objects based on promptable segment anything model and force‐closure analysis is presented. Grasp generation methods based on force‐closure analysis can calculate the optimal grasps for objects through their appearances. However, the limited visual perception ability makes robots difficult to

SnRNA‐seq reveals cellular heterogeneity and proliferation mechanisms in limb venous malformations

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
To dissect the cellular heterogeneity and invasive mechanisms of limb venous malformations (VMs), this study first obtained tissue samples from four patients with VMs and four normal controls (NC). Single‐nucleus suspension was prepared, followed by transcriptome library construction and sequencing. After pretreatment, quality control, standardization,
