A Mechanism for Analyzing the Energy Consumption and Environmental Impact of LoRa Sensors Over Time
International Journal of Communication Systems, Volume 39, Issue 15, October 2026.An SPN‐based mechanism, validated against NS‐3 with MAPE below 0.3%, reveals how packet generation rate and spreading factor shape LoRa sensor lifetime, energy consumption, and operational CO2$$ {}_2 $$ emissions, supporting sustainable planning of large‐scale IoT deployments. ABSTRACT Long Range (LoRa) sensors are widely adopted in Internet of Things (

The continuity heuristic: Temporal extrapolation in consumer judgment
Journal of Consumer Psychology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 451-469, October 2026.Abstract From choosing an established brand over a newcomer to deciding when to replace a product or commit to a subscription, consumers routinely make judgments about how much longer things will last. Across 24 studies (N = 9718), this research introduces and tests the continuity heuristic, an intuitive forecasting strategy in which consumers use how ...
