Domestic and External Drivers of Brazilian Pork Price Volatility Under Russian Trade Policies
ABSTRACT This study investigates how Russian trade policies and domestic factors influence the volatility of Brazilian live swine prices from 2004 to 2019. We employ a DCC‐MGARCH framework, along with volatility impulse‐response functions and the connectedness approach, to analyze time‐varying co‐movement and dynamic volatility spillovers across pork ...

ABSTRACT Consumer demand for value‐added dairy products has grown substantially, yet consumer preferences for origin information (including farmstead) on ice cream remain underexplored. We used a stated preferences choice experiment to elicit consumers' willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) for ice cream across nine states in the Southeastern U.S.

Model predictive control with inline parameter adaptation for direct crystal growth rate regulation
Abstract In batch cooling crystallization, many interactive factors, including supersaturation, reactor dimensions, and operating conditions, govern crystal growth and significantly influence product properties. Variables such as temperature or refractive index are used as surrogate control variables but have limitations in capturing growth rate ...

A low‐cost, self‐driving laboratory is developed to democratize autonomous materials discovery. Using this "frugal twin" hardware architecture with Bayesian optimization, the platform rapidly converges to target lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values while self‐correcting from off‐target experiments, demonstrating an accessible route to data‐

An Autonomous Large Language Model‐Agent Framework for Transparent and Local Time Series Forecasting
Architecture of the proposed large language model (LLM)‐based agent framework for autonomous time series forecasting in thermal power generation systems. The framework operates through a vertical pipeline initiated by natural language queries from users, which are processed by the LLM Agent Core powered by Llama.cpp and a ReAct loop with persistent ...

Robot‐Assisted Measurement of the Critical Micelle Concentration
The study introduces (SIMO) smart integrator for manual operations, a robotic platform for precise, repeatable determination of (CMC) critical micelle concentration in surfactants. SIMO reduces standard deviation by 80% compared to manual methods. Surfactant, dye, and diluent selection, robotic protocols, and data handling are detailed.
