Equity‐Calibrated Technology Forecasting for Sustainable Development: A Portable ADOPT Framework Integrating Bayesian‐Ising Diagnostics

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) is widely promoted to enhance resilience and productivity among smallholder farmers, yet its diffusion remains uneven due to structural barriers and heterogeneous adoption contexts. Existing forecasting tools, such as the Adoption and Diffusion Outcome Prediction Tool (ADOPT), estimate adoption trajectories but ...

A Preliminary Exploratory Measurement Model for Systems Thinking in Defence and Aerospace Engineering: A Bifurcated Framework Developed via Multiple Correspondence Analysis

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern engineering faces a ‘complexity crisis’ characterized by interlinked, multidisciplinary ‘wicked problems’, particularly within the defence and aerospace sectors. Although systems thinking is recognized as a critical competency for navigating this environment, empirical quantitative frameworks for its measurement remain limited.

An Innovative Approach to Multi‐Valued Logic

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
The current generation of computer systems operates on the principles of binary logic, which encompasses both logical and arithmetic operations. However, silicon technology has reached its peak performance, prompting researchers to explore alternative methods for enhancing computational efficiency. One such method is the adoption of Multi‐Valued Logic (

Efficiency, Shadow Pricing and Regime Switching in Multi‐Ware Technologies: Evidence From Regulated Livestock Farms

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We develop a framework for regulated production systems where output generation and pollution abatement impose competing technological demands. Using a multi‐ware technology, we model the production set as the intersection of two input requirement frontiers, one for production and one for abatement, each reflecting distinct trade‐offs.
