Real‐Time Biomass Estimation in High‐Density Yeast Fermentations Using Soft Sensor Modeling

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Accurate biomass measurements, both offline and online, are essential to improve prediction and control in yeast fermentation. This study develops regression‐based predictive models to correlate offline measurements (Dry Cell Weight and OD600 from a spectrophotometer) with online OD860 probe signals to provide accurate real‐time biomass estimations and

Trade‐offs in avian parental care: a review of theory and meta‐analysis of brood size manipulations

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The selective forces shaping parental care have been studied for over 50 years. While theoretical and experimental work has yielded qualitative progress, the large body of empirical work testing predictions about parental investment based on life‐history trade‐offs has yet to be synthesized.

Innovation‐Led Sustainability in the Agri‐Food Sector: Evidence From the Global Food and Beverage Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agri‐food sector is vital to economic development, but it exerts significant environmental and social pressures. This study draws on the natural resource‐based view. It investigates the strategic sustainability‐performance nexus in the global food and beverage industry using a longitudinal dataset (2013–2023) of 633 firms across the EU ...

Innovation Pathways to Carbon Efficiency: Disentangling the Effects of AI, R&D, and Clean Energy Blessings on U.S. Environmental Sustainability

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The United States (U.S.) faces challenges in achieving its ambitious net‐zero carbon emissions target by 2050, with current emissions having fallen by less than 1% in 2024. Despite an investment of $500 billion in low‐carbon resources while holding the second‐largest green technology patent portfolio globally, it is further imperative to ...

Target Firm's ESG Engagement and Post–M&A Performance: The Mediating Role of Acquirer's CSR Strategy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper examines whether the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of target firms influences both accounting‐based and market‐based corporate financial performance (CFP) within the merger and acquisition (M&A) context and whether this relationship is mediated by the acquirer's corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy.

Free Trade Zones and Corporate ESG: Evidence From a Quasi‐Natural Experiment in China

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how China's Pilot Free Trade Zones (FTZs) influence corporate ESG performance. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences model on Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2024, we combine coarsened exact matching (CEM) and geography‐based instrumental variables to ensure robust identification.
