ABSTRACT In emerging economies where smallholder farming dominates agricultural production, agribusinesses serve as critical intermediaries linking smallholders to broader markets, and their resilience directly affects agricultural sustainability. Short‐term‐oriented capital is reluctant to adequately finance highly uncertain and cyclical agricultural ...

Robust rolling stock in rapid transit networks
This paper focuses on the railway rolling stock circulation problem in rapid transit networks, in which frequencies are high and distances are relatively short. Although the distances are not very large, service times are high due to the large number of intermediate stops required to allow proper passenger flow.

Weather Attention in Online Discourse and Price Uncertainty in Agricultural Futures Markets
ABSTRACT Weather is a central determinant of production risk in agricultural markets, but markets respond not only to weather conditions themselves, but also to how those conditions are noticed, framed, and interpreted in public discourse. In this setting, real‐time online weather discussions may shape price uncertainty by influencing how market ...

Random processes of interaction between track and rolling stock
Optimization of life-cycle cost of structures of railway track for different lines is a multi-task. Railway track can be seen as a dynamic system, which is got as the input deteriorating impact - operational load and enhancing impact - maintenance and ...

Abstract The rapid growth of AI data centers (AIDCs) is intensifying stress on power systems and exposing operators to volatile electricity markets. This work develops a process‐informed co‐optimization framework that integrates liquid air energy storage (LAES) with AIDC operation. Unlike black‐box storage models, the proposed formulation captures LAES

Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on Optimized VMD and SSAE
The monitoring and fault diagnosis of axle-box bearings in high-speed trains is crucial for ensuring safe train operations. The vibration signals of these bearings exhibit non-stationary and non-linear characteristics.

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.
