Qubit‐Efficient Quantum Local Search for Combinatorial Optimization
Advanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.We introduce a qubit‐efficient variational quantum algorithm for combinatorial optimization that adaptively uses from logarithmic to a linear number of qubits to implement quantum local search. The method encodes flip probabilities of spin groups into quantum amplitudes, enabling exploration of classically intractable neighborhoods while maintaining ...

Sustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue S2, Page 132-153, March 2026.ABSTRACT Global municipal solid waste generation is projected to exceed 3.8 billion tonnes annually by 2050. This makes the need for smart, inclusive, and scalable waste valorization systems more urgent than ever. This review critically explores the shift from conventional waste management to intelligent, technology‐driven solutions aligned with ...

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract After decades of intensive breeding, modern US soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties have achieved significant improvements in yield, quality, and stress tolerance, but these gains have come at the cost of severely reduced genetic diversity.

Market Insurance and Risk Pooling in U.S. Crop Insurance
Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT A common assumption is that multiple‐peril crop insurance markets suffer from market failures, thus justifying government intervention in the form of premium subsidies, operating allowances, and reinsurance agreements. One prominent rationale for intervention involves geographic correlation in agricultural production which leads to systemic ...

Equitable Routing -- Rethinking the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem
The Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP) generalizes the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) by introducing multiple salesmen tasked with visiting a set of targets from a single depot, ensuring each target is visited exactly once while minimizing total tour length. A key variant, the min-max MTSP, seeks to balance workloads by minimizing the longest

‘Good Enough’: The Use of Satisficing in the Design of Disruptive Innovation in Emerging Economies
Creativity and Innovation Management, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 17-39, March 2026.ABSTRACT While design has been acknowledged as a fundamental driver of innovation, questions remain about how design affects disruptive innovation from the perspective of consumer perceptions. Drawing from Simon's insights of bounded rationality and satisficing applied within the technology acceptance model (TAM), we propose an integrated, customer ...
