Zero Deforestation Commitments and Industry 4.0 Enabling Technologies: An Analysis of Their Role in Mitigating Deforestation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of corporate zero‐deforestation commitments (ZDCs) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) enabling technologies in mitigating deforestation. Drawing on data from 110 companies included in the Forest 500 dataset, the research explores whether sustainability commitments and digital innovation influence firms' deforestation ...

Defining the Optimal Microspore Developmental Window for Efficient Anther-Derived Somatic Embryogenesis in Rubber Tree (Hevea brasiliensis)

Plants
Anther-derived somatic embryogenesis is a valuable approach in rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) breeding; however, its effectiveness is highly influenced by the developmental stage of the microspores. The present investigation focused on male flower buds

Broad Skills, Smaller Footprints? Generalist CEOs and Firm Biodiversity Exposure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether CEO generalist skills predict firm‐level biodiversity risk exposure, an emerging strategic and financial concern. Using the biodiversity indicator developed based on textual analysis and the General Ability Index, we find that firms led by generalist CEOs are associated with significantly lower disclosed biodiversity risk ...

Transcriptomic Analysis of Differential Gene Expression in Hevea brasiliensis Under Short-Term Cold Stress

Plants
Cold stress limits the growth and productivity of Hevea brasiliensis, the primary source of natural rubber. This study investigated early transcriptomic responses in Reyan ‘7-33-97’ seedlings exposed to 4 °C, 10 °C, and 15 °C for 1, 2, and 4 h with room ...

Harnessing machine learning and optimization for informed chemical engineering decisions: A styrene reactor analysis

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This study shows that integrating multiple machine learning models with optimization and decision‐making improves chemical process design, and that a consensus‐based strategy across models provides more robust and reliable operating recommendations than any single model, especially under limited or noisy data conditions.
